A Massachusetts man on Thursday was charged with attempting to assassinate a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, after he brought Molotov cocktails to the Capitol in January.

Ryan English, who turned himself into Capitol Police over the incident, allegedly admitted in January that he brought knives and two Molotov cocktails fashioned out of 50 milliliter Absolut Vodka bottles, which were stuffed with cloth doused in hand sanitizer, to Capitol Hill.

The man is now charged with carrying a dangerous weapon or incendiary device on the grounds of the Capitol, and unlawful possession of an incendiary device, the department said. The incident took place on January 27.

English also allegedly admitted to the police at the time that he was planning to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, though he had initially planned to target House Speaker Mike Johnson and/or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The Democrat and leftist media's rhetoric is going to get someone murdered. They know it and they don't care because it is what they are working towards. Two attempts (at least) on Trump's life and they continue to spout the "just like Hitler" crap as if they believe it.

As Trump and his team continue their agenda, they need to tighten their security because it is only going to get worse. Also, I suspect the summer of 2020 is going to look like a lawn picnic compared to what is coming this summer.

You’re correct. These people are evil, deranged, vile, and dangerous. The evil Dim party is encouraging them.

“… fashioned out of 50 milliliter Absolut Vodka bottles…”

I don’t believe he was thinking this through.

50ml? That’s like the firecracker of Molotov cocktails.

We had to sit through the Obama and Biden presidencies. Why can’t these people just grin and bear it until the next election, too?

Really? Those so-called Molotov Cocktails are laughable. How stupid are these people? I guess I shouldn’t ask that question anymore. They are dumb as dirt, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Anybody who grew up in the countryside in the 60’s and 70’s knows how to create effective pyrotechnics and energetics.

he was trying to make the equivalent to a suitcase nuke in the homemade cocktail department.

I also think like many others this mindset is going to be escalating and it more than likely will end badly. All of these people are following the leftist agenda put forth by the mainscummedia and Treasonous party made up by the American demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers.

I Pray Daily for the safety of Our President Donald J. Trump and Family, VP Vance and Family, the Security Teams to successfully keep them safe and All of Our Military and Family and Our Country and that We can continue to successfully turn America 🇺🇸 back to God and stop terrorscum both foreign and domestic evil.🙏🇺🇸

Threatening to kill someone in the Trump cabinet is illegal even for a Dem from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
They have to obey just like the real states of the Union. /S

Agree. My evil sister lives there.

If someone happens to be an illegal, there are 8 (count ‘em)
sanctuary cities there: Amherst, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Concord, Newton, Northampton, and Somerville.

Bedbugs pard. Crazier than bedbugs. Still years ago, I just made a fleet balletic missile submarine move thru the water. The weaponeers took care of the ordnance. I could come closer to building a nuke than this idiot.
