(DC Pundit) – Here we go again. Just when you think the radical left can’t sink any lower in their Trump Derangement Syndrome, along comes another stellar example of their “peaceful” political discourse. This time, it’s a Texas man who apparently thought Facebook was the perfect platform to showcase his violent fantasies about President Donald Trump.
Robert Herrera, 52, of San Antonio, was arrested Thursday after allegedly making violent threats against President Donald Trump on Facebook ahead of the president’s visit to Kerrville, according to federal officials.
The charges against Herrera include making threats against the president and interstate threatening communications, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas. The alleged threats were posted on a local news outlet’s Facebook page discussing Trump’s upcoming visit to the Hill Country after deadly Fourth of July flooding. The outlet has not been publicly identified by law enforcement.

According to a Department of Justice release, Herrera, using the name “Robert Herrer,” allegedly posted the phrase “I won’t miss” beneath a photo of Trump surrounded by Secret Service agents after the July 2024 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Classy move, Robert. Really showing that moral high ground the left is always claiming to occupy.

When another user responded, “you won’t get the chance, I promise,” Herrera allegedly replied, “I’ll just come for you,” attaching a photo of himself holding what appeared to be a rifle and loaded magazines. When you’re already digging yourself into a legal hole, why not grab a bigger shovel and keep going?
The posts have since been removed, and federal agents arrested Herrera later that day. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison per charge. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Roomberg is prosecuting the case. One can only hope justice is served swiftly and completely.
“While the FBI fully supports and defends every American’s right to free speech, it is important to understand that threatening violence against any individual is not constitutionally protected speech, it is a federal crime,” Special Agent in Charge Aaron Tapp of the FBI’s San Antonio Field Office stated in the release.
“The FBI and our partners take threats of violence seriously, and we urge the public to do the same. We would like to thank the United States Secret Service, the San Antonio Police Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the United States Attorney’s Office for their tremendous partnership in addressing this threat against the president.”
“We urge all members of the public to express their views peacefully and respectfully in a manner consistent with the values that define our nation.”
“I would like to thank the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI San Antonio Field Office for assisting the U.S. Secret Service in this matter,” noted Special Agent in Charge Brian J. Gibson of the U.S. Secret Service San Antonio Field Office.
“Investigating threats towards individuals under Secret Service protection are treated as our highest priority. This is one of the countless reasons the Secret Service prides ourselves on forging and maintaining relationships with other law enforcement agencies. As this is an ongoing investigation, the Secret Service will have no further comment on this incident.”
The arrest comes almost one year to the day after Trump survived an attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally. In that incident, a rooftop gunman fired at Trump from roughly 150 yards away, grazing his right ear and killing one attendee, Corey Comperatore, before Secret Service agents shot the attacker dead.
The same crowd that spent four years screaming about “dangerous rhetoric” and “threats to democracy” seems awfully quiet when it comes to condemning actual threats and violence against the current president. The hypocrisy is staggering, but sadly not surprising.
What’s particularly troubling is how normalized this behavior has become among certain segments of the population. Social media has given every unhinged individual with a keyboard the ability to broadcast their violent fantasies to the world. The fact that Herrera thought it was appropriate to post such content publicly speaks to a deeper problem in our political discourse.
