Voice of America Insider Busted: Threats to Kill Marjorie Taylor Greene Rock Capitol

“Every American has the right to speak freely-no one has the right to threaten murder.” That is how Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, conservative firebrand and defender of the America First movement, kicked off her emotional press conference this afternoon. The halls of Congress are still reeling after the bombshell revelation that Seth Jason, a former Voice of America employee, was arrested and indicted on four federal charges for making repeated violent threats to kill Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, her staff, and even their families. This story isn’t just about one deranged ex-federal employee. It’s about the rotten underbelly of government-funded media, rising anti-conservative hatred, and the vital need for protecting our elected leaders from those who want to silence dissent-by any means necessary.

Plotting Mayhem from Government Studios? Inside the Shocking Threats Targeting MTG

The facts are as chilling as they are outrageous. Seth Jason, a longtime Voice of America (VOA) staffer and failed reserve police volunteer, allegedly launched a sustained campaign of terror against Rep. Greene between October 2023 and January 2025. Law enforcement officials allege Jason used the phone lines and control rooms at VOA headquarters in Washington, D.C.-resources paid for by American taxpayers-to call Greene’s district offices in Dalton and Rome, Georgia. Not once, but at least eight times, he reportedly threatened to murder Greene, her family, and her entire staff. If convicted, Jason faces up to 17 years in prison for attempting to influence a federal official by threat, interstate communications with intent to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, known for her tough-on-crime credentials, didn’t mince words during her bombshell news conference, reading out some of Jason’s explicit threats. One call, referencing Greene’s 2023 book signing, warned, “I am looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you.” In a chilling escalation, authorities say these calls continued for fifteen months-even as security concerns for elected Republicans skyrocketed across the nation.

“Threatening to assassinate an elected official isn’t free speech-it’s a federal crime, and every American should be alarmed,”

thundered Pirro, standing shoulder to shoulder with Senior Advisor Kari Lake and federal prosecutors.

Law enforcement officers didn’t just stop with an arrest. They seized a trove of incriminating evidence-including Jason’s laptop, multiple telephones, iPad, and thumb drives-indicating a level of planning that should make every liberty-loving American pause.¹

Voice of America Scandal: Years of Upheaval and Radicalization Come Home to Roost

This isn’t the first time Voice of America has drawn outrage from the right. Under President Trump’s first and now second administration, Americans have demanded accountability and results from our taxpayer-funded media. In 2024, the Trump White House responded to growing concerns by slashing funding, demanding pink slips, and launching a crackdown on what they called “radical propaganda.” Over 85% of VOA staff were placed on leave as a result-shockwaves still rattling D.C. today.² It was amidst this climate of upheaval and purging of extreme bias that Jason quietly retired, yet apparently not before exploiting his privileged access to government resources to target one of the left’s most hated conservative figures.

Seth Jason didn’t exactly fit the mold of a law-abiding “public servant” either. Revealed by investigators: Jason, though a volunteer with the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland since 2016, had no police authority or powers. He was merely an unarmed reserve, meaning his only platform was his government microphone and his phone in the taxpayer-funded booth. Were supervisors aware a ticking time bomb lurked in their ranks?

“We can’t ignore how years of unchecked radicalism and lack of oversight in ‘public broadcasting’ have bred an environment where threatening conservatives is seen as fair game,”

tweeted @PatriotMom4 on X (formerly Twitter), echoing the outrage that swept through conservative social spheres after news of the arrest broke.

Voice of America claims its federal funding is “essential.” But this case exposes a much darker side-one where left-wing bias and latent anti-conservative sentiment can fester in the shadows, allowed to ripen amidst Bureaucratic protection and almost zero accountability.

Security for Republicans: What’s Next as Political Violence and Threats Soar?

This episode isn’t happening in a vacuum. Paul Pelosi’s assault, the murder of Democrat Rep. Melissa Hortman, and now sustained threats against Marjorie Taylor Greene have magnified the debate over the safety of elected officials. According to congressional security, anonymous threats have skyrocketed in recent years, particularly as conservative leaders remain visible, vocal, and unashamedly patriotic in the Trump era. Social media platforms lit up with messages of support and outrage, while others questioned how someone with this background could access federal communications infrastructure unchecked.

Rep. Greene has never shied away from controversy-and the left’s unrelenting attacks. But this moves beyond mere political theater. Upon news of the arrest, she issued a public thank-you to Capitol Police, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, Kari Lake, and lead prosecutors. “Threatening elected officials is a federal crime. This will not be tolerated in President Trump’s America,” Greene asserted, demanding Congress pass even tougher laws to shield lawmakers from harassment, intimidation, and violence.

“We will not be intimidated. We will not back down. I’m grateful to law enforcement for treating this not as speech, but as a dangerous and illegal assault on democracy itself,”

Greene declared, her voice trembling but resolute before a crowd of supporters outside the Capitol.

In the wake of this arrest, Republicans are doubling down. Conservative lawmakers are already introducing legislation to audit-and possibly sever-taxpayer support for media outlets implicated in anti-American or threatening activity. Some, like Sen. Josh Hawley, are vowing to force the Department of Justice to report every instance of political threats against sitting lawmakers directly to Congress, making it harder for rogue bureaucrats to sweep these crimes under the rug.

The critical 2026 midterm elections loom, and this saga is guaranteed to be a flashpoint. The debate is set to rage not only about the future of Voice of America, but about the safety of all lawmakers who dare challenge woke orthodoxy and globalist narratives. Will this be the point at which the right finally says “enough” and demands a reckoning from the deep-state media complex?

One thing is certain: Americans are paying attention, and those who threaten our leaders-no matter their government credentials-will answer to the rule of law.
