Pennsylvania Democrat Arrested for Threatening to ‘Shoot’ Trump

A 74-year-old Pennsylvania Democrat has been arrested for making threats against President Donald Trump’s life ahead of his rally in the state.

Authorities arrested Paul J. Gavenonis, a male who claims to be “transgender” and uses “she/her” pronouns.

According to the Centre County Public Defender’s Office, Gavenonis threatened to kill Trump by declaring: “I’d like to shoot that guy.”

Gavenonis was arrested after he was overheard making the threats while trying to buy a parking pass at Penn State University’s transportation office last Friday.

“I hate Donald Trump,” Gavenonis, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

“I’d like to shoot that guy,” he added while making a gun-racking motion with his hand.

According to an arrest affidavit, he also allegedly described climbing to the top of a building and yelled:

“You can’t take a gun in or the students will see it.”

An alarmed staffer alerted cops amid fears that the parking pass could potentially get Gavenonis closer to Trump’s rally at the university.

The 45th president held the rally on Saturday, October 26, 2024, just 10 days before the election.

When Penn State police and the Secret Service later questioned the suspect, Gavenonis allegedly laughed.

Gavenonis was asked if he believed he could kill the Republican presidential candidate.

“Probably. Yeah,” Gavenonis gloated to agents.

“Frankly, I hope somebody would get him,” he added, according to the affidavit.

Gavenonis allegedly also told agents he had a rifle at home.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the suspect was trying to purchase the parking pass to gain access to the rally, or if he had plans to attend.

The Kansas City Star reported the suspect is a registered Democrat.

Gavenonis was charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.

He is being held without bail in Centre County Prison.

News of the arrest comes amid a backlash over President Joe Biden’s remarks about Trump’s supporters.

As Slay News reported earlier, Biden provoked outrage on Tuesday night by declaring that half of the American people are “garbage.”

Biden’s shocking remarks evoked memories of Hillary Clinton’s infamous dismissal of President Donald Trump voters as “deplorables” in 2016.

It’s widely believed that Clinton’s comments contributed to her shock defeat.

The president was weighing in after a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday compared Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”

Democrats and their corporate media allies have pounced on the joke to promote faux outrage among voters.

During the Zoom call with Democrat voters, Biden said:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
