Man Sentenced to Prison for Leaving Threatening Voicemails for Members of Congress
Epoch Times, Nov 22, 2019


A New York man was sentenced to five years in prison on Nov. 21 for leaving threatening voicemails for two members of Congress, both Republicans.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.)—who was shot by a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2017—and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) received the angry voicemails.

Carlos Bayon, 64, admitted in court he left the voicemails, but claimed they were only expressions of the anger he felt over Republican President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

“Hey listen, this message is for you and the people that sent you there. You are taking ours, we are taking yours. Anytime, anywhere. We know where they are. We are not going to feed them sandwiches, we are going to feed them lead. Make no mistake you will pay. Ojo por ojo, diente por diente (Spanish for ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’). That is our law and we are the majority. Have a good day,” Bayon said in a voicemail to Scalise.

Armed with a search warrant, law enforcement agents searched Bayon’s residence and storage garage and found a loaded rifle, 150 rounds of rifle ammunition, and books on how to make homemade bombs and other explosives, among other items.
