There's Been an Update After Rep. Max Miller Said He Was 'Threatened' by Driver With Palestinian Flag

On Thursday, Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) shared over X that he had been "threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off." In his post, Miller shared how he had taken further action, which included filing a police report. Miller also noted in a subsequent post that he'll share the finalized report when he is able to. Since then, a suspect has been arrested.

As Fox News' Chad Pergram shared over X, the United States Capitol Police (USCP) explained that their special agents worked with local and federal agencies to arrest 36-year-old Feras Hamdan.

"After receiving notification about a threat towards a Member of Congress in Ohio, USCP Special Agents immediately deployed to the region where they worked with local and federal agencies relentlessly to locate 36-year-old Feras S. Hamdan of Ohio. He was arrested on charges of Aggravated Menacing. The investigation is still unfolding, but the USCP would like to thank our partners in this investigation for their information sharing and collaboration," the USCP noted.

From there, the USCP noted how quickly they were able to make the arrest. "In less than 24 hours, the USCP received notification of a threat against a Member of Congress, had boots on the ground, collaborated with the local police department, and the suspect in the case was arrested that same evening. This case is a prime example of the USCP’s stance towards threats against our elected officials. We will continue to have a zero-tolerance policy," the post continued.

Pergram also shared news from the Rocky River Police Department in Ohio, located in a suburb of Cleveland.

As The Hill also reported, citing a police department news release shared over Facebook, Hamdan turned himself in with an attorney present.

According to the report:

The man accused of running Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller’s vehicle off a highway earlier this week turned himself in, authorities announced Friday.

Feras Hamdan, 36, of Westlake, Ohio, is awaiting a court appearance on an aggravated menacing charge after voluntarily surrendering with an attorney present, according to a news release from police in Rocky River, a Cleveland suburb.

Local authorities, U.S. Capitol Police, Ohio State Highway Patrol, the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office of the Northern District of Ohio are investigating the alleged road rage incident.

Forward has more details about the 911 call that Miller made. "I was cut off by a man in a Tesla who held up a Palestinian flag to me and then rolled down his window and said that, 'I’m going to cut your throat and your daughter’s.' And he said, 'You’re a dirty Jew,'" the congressman explained.

Miller has received support from his fellow House Republicans via several quoted reposts over X, including from Reps. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) and Ashley Hinson (R-IA) who were among the first. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), as well as Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Pat Harrigan (R-NC), Andy Barr (R-KY), and María Elvira Salazar (R-FL), who did posts in English and Spanish, have also put out quoted reposts.

Medical University of the Americas? That’s a Caribbean med school.

It sounds like this guy needs his visa/naturalization papers revoked.

“Hamdan was listed as a family doctor with links to the Cleveland Clinic, which told Newsweek that he had been previously employed by an affiliated hospital. Newsweek also reached out to HealthExpress Urgent Care, another provider the suspect was reportedly linked with, for comment.

He received his medical degree from the Medical University of the Americas and has been in practice for 6-10 years. Hamdan has expertise in treating bronchitis, hypertension & high blood pressure, asthma, among other conditions” Newsweek

This is him, from a 2022 article featuring the Good Doctor:

“...I treat people the way I want to be treated,” he said.

He deserves to have his life ruined for being this stupid.

Daily the democrats encourage violence against any they don’t agree with. I sincerely believe the democrats want violent anarchy if they can’t be in power.

You really can’t hate these people enough.

Nothing wrong with that, it's harder than hell to get into any US medical school if you're not a minority or foreign national.

Both my niece and her ex husband graduated from the University of the Caribbean.

You still have to pass your respective state medical exams......

Notice any Dems hysterically comdemning this threat to our democracy?
I didn’t either.
Maybe they’ve discovered that he’s an Ohio family man.

I do not want him as a doctor, and I do not think, he wants me as a patient!
But it may actually help his practice.
He may get more birds of feather as his patients.
There are many of those around!

Hamdan has expertise in treating...high blood pressure

Well, cutting someone's throat is likely to bring that person's blood pressure down quite quickly.

Exactly. To them, it is obey or be canceled at this point.

Gone are the JFK Democrats who believe in free speech. Now it is only free if you are in exact agreement with them where they are on their positions right now.

But if you are on agreement 95% of the time with them, when they hear of the 5% you don't - WATCH OUT -. They are likely to take action against you.

So say you are for BLM, Women's Rights, the Palestinians cause, but you are a mother with a Daughter in Girl's sports and complain that she lost the State championship weightlifting contest to Transgender claiming young male...

Uh oh!!! Here come the rioters, the arsonists, Gang Members - sometimes even to your home, place of business, or even her school.

Say, you believe the above, plus Transgender Rights, but do not believe in the Palestinian cause. Guess What....

Say, they come up with something new and they question you about it? Well, Surprise... surprise, failure to keep up is not acceptable.

How's them apples folks?
