Prosecutors say the 55-year-old called Omar’s office March 21, told a staffer the congresswoman was a “terrorist” and threatened to shoot her.
Carlineo later told the FBI that he is a patriot, hates people he perceives to be radical Muslims in the U.S. government, and loves Republican President Donald Trump, according to a criminal complaint.
Carlineo’s plea included admitting he illegally had guns. He’d been barred from possessing them after a 1998 felony criminal mischief conviction, prosecutors said.

According to the criminal complaint filed in federal court against Patrick Carlineo, the threatening phone call was made to Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s office on March 21, 2019, about 12:20 p.m.
According to the complaint, Carlineo identified himself as Pat Carlineo and said to an Omar staff member, “Do you work for the Muslim brotherhood? Why are you working for her, she’s a f*cking terrorist. I’ll put a bullet in her f*cking skull.”
