“I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I will stand up to fascism.' Thomas Welnicki, 72, has has been accused of calling the Secret Service multiple times to threaten Donald Trump's life.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I will stand up to fascism,” he allegedly said, and bragged about how easy it would be for him to get a gun. He later added, according to the complaint, “I really hope that God takes [Individual-1] out.”
On Jan. 4, 2021, two days before Trump supporters would storm the U.S. Capitol, Welnicki called the Secret Service’s Long Island Resident Office and left two voicemails. In both messages, he threatened to kill Trump and 12 members of Congress. “I am going to do anything I can to take out [Individual-1],” Welnicki is alleged to have said on the first voicemail. “Oh yeah that’s a threat, come and arrest me. I will do anything I can to take out [Individual-1] and his 12 monkeys….
On Nov. 8, 2021, Welnicki called the Secret Service’s New York office and repeatedly referred to Trump as Hitler, according to the complaint. He allegedly said, “I will do everything I can to make sure [Individual-1] is dead.” Most recently, on Dec. 2, 2021, Welnicki allegedly called the New York Secret Service again. The complaint says he talked about how he used to own a .22 caliber firearm, and asked for information on how to schedule a protest at Trump’s residence. “The new civil war could break out and taking up arms against the government is justified when ballots don’t matter,” he allegedly said.
A man who answered Welnicki’s cell number declined to comment. Federal defender Deirdre von Dornum spoke on the same call, identifying herself at Welnicki’s lawyer but offering no further comment. Welnicki will appear in Brooklyn Federal Court Monday afternoon.
