Arizona Trump fan charged with threats to kill Biden and carry out mass shooting

The Justice Department has charged an Arizona man named David Hanson with making death threats aimed at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Hanson is also accused of threatening a mass shooting at the University of New Mexico, revealed screen captures posted by Seamus Hughes from the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Center.

Among the threats, which appeared on the social media site X, was a demand that Biden and Harris resign or be "brutally murdered." Another called for bombing the White House, while a separate post called for the White House bombing with a gif of the film "Independence Day" in which aliens blow up the building, the DOJ's filing claims.

Perhaps one of the more embarrassing posts threatened to kill the two leaders with a screenshot of a job application from Goodwill, which included the name "Michael Hanson."

The first account Hanson is accused of posting under was @popyourcherry24, with the second being @trump20286more.

Some tweets appeared on Nov. 19, 2023. Others appeared on Dec. 23, 2023. Law enforcement said Hanson told investigators it didn't matter because no one followed his accounts.

One, which is still online, shares a video posted by V.P. Harris saying #kamalaisdead.

Earlier in 2023, Hanson threatened to commit a mass shooting on the University of New Mexico campus, where he was taking a film class, according to the charges.

"However, prior to the start of the semester, Hanson had been involved in an incident with a female student who made a formal complaint about Hanson," the filing says. "The reason for the complaint varied, but at some point, the university pulled Hanson's admission and his student loans without getting Hanson's side of the incident.

"When speaking about this, Hanson, again became very emotional. Hanson then stated that several days ago, the university reached out to Hanson to complete an investigation into the incident, including Hanson's side of the events. A day or so later, the university either needed to change the date of the online interview or changed its mind about the interview all together."

Hanson then said he felt "trapped in hell" living in Phoenix "and was trying to get to heaven. He needed someone to blame," the filing said.

In a video posted to "X" earlier on Nov. 19, 2023, Hanson appeared to name off a slate of grievances, the filing said.

"I'm rich and famous. Movie producer and my app is designed. That's a landslide victory. It ain't even close. Donald Trump is Ronald Reagan. Joe Biden is out of the White House. I told you, you should have nominated Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton. It's the Matrix. They're peasants. Right! I will! I know!" he shouts, holding his hand in a gesture used by the "Three Percenters" militia.

"Ah yes! Ah, yes! I just swept y'all! And that's why the Suns are eliminated," he closed in the video.
