JUST IN: Georgia man has been arrested for threatening to murder Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family.
The man claimed to be a large donor to MTG before launching numerous threats.
In a recording of the call, the man can be heard telling one of MTG's staffers he had "a sniper rifle" and had plans to "kill her next week."
"Hey, I’m a major donor. Yeah, I got a bead on her. Like a sniper rifle. A sniper rifle. And I’m gonna kill her next week. I’m gonna murder her."
"’m gonna shoot her in the f****** head and kill her. Ok? Tell the FBI. Ok? I’m gonna kill this c***. Tell her. I’ll kill you too, if you want," he added.
The staffer responded "where are you calling from, sir?"
"I’m calling from f*** yourself you f*****. F*** your party! Your grandchildren are gonna f****** die! Die! Die," the agitated caller replied.
After the staffer asked if the man was "coming here now" the man exploded with more explicit-filled and also racially-charged threats.
"You f****** sellout c***, you little d*ck f****** white boy c***. You little d*ck f****** white boy! Taking money! Taking money! You little b****! You don’t think you’re gonna get payback?!"
"You’re gonna die! Your family is gonna die! C***. You don’t think it’s gonna happen when you’re out of power," he added.
The caller was identified as Sean Patrick Cirillo and was arrested by the FBI.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
This is the second Georgia Republican who has received threats of violence this week.
Earlier this week, Rep. Rich McCormick temporarily shut down one of his district offices following "serious threats of violence" that had been launched against his staffers.
Video recording of the phone call can be seen below.
#MerryChristmas Was in kitchen helping my wife, let’s say she didn’t 100% appreciate the way I did things. ( Usually all I do in the kitchen is eat). It kind felt like the 1st day of planting, but reversed roles. Everyone have a MERRY CHRISTMAS

@glen_newcomer @DarinNewsom @Barchart We need 2 inch’s to make us whole, then a inch every week. That kind of rain is not in the forecast. Much of Midwest need that much rain.
