A Texas woman supporting President Donald Trump was sentenced to 27 months in prison after threatening a federal judge and others.
According to the Department of Justice, Abigail Shry called the chambers of U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in 2023, "and made derogatory statements and threats to anyone that went after then former President Donald Trump."
Shry also threatened "a then sitting congresswoman, all Democrats in Washington D.C. and all people in the LGBTQ community," the DOJ said.
"You are in our sights, we want to kill you. If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you," Shry said in the call.
She later claimed she had the right to make the threats under freedom of speech.
On Wednesday, Shry was sentenced to 27 months in prison.
"Shry appeared to be in disbelief at being sentenced to prison in the case," CBS correspondent Scott MacFarlane reported following the hearing. "When speaking to the judge and asking for leniency, Shry said she had 'a fear of her 17 year old son being drafted into a war for her actions.'"
