   A New York man who threatened to assault and murder Rep. Ilhan   
   Omar, D-Minn., last year has been sentenced to a year and one   
   day in prison, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.   
      
   Patrick W. Carlineo, Jr., 56, of Addison, N.Y., was sentenced   
   Friday after a pleading guilty in November to threatening to   
   assault and murder a U.S. official and being a convicted felon   
   in possession of firearms.   
      
   Prosecutors said Carlineo called Omar’s office on March 21, 2019   
   around 12:20 p.m. A member of Omar’s staff answered the call.   
      
   During the call, Carlineo reportedly asked the staff member   
   whether Omar works for the Muslim Brotherhood.   
      
   “Why are you working for her, she’s a [expletive] terrorist.   
   Somebody ought to put a bullet in her skull.  Back in the day,   
   our forefathers would have put a bullet in her [expletive],” the   
   staff member recalled Carlineo as saying. “I’ll put a bullet in   
   her [expletive] skull.”   
      
   Omar’s office referred the call to the United States Capitol   
   Police, Threat Assessment Section, which began an investigation   
   in coordination with the FBI.   
      
   During his trial, Omar publicly requested that a federal judge   
   show mercy on him.   
      
   Rep. Ilhan Omar   
   ?   
   @Ilhan   
   Sharing my full letter on the the sentencing of Patrick W.   
   Carlineo, a man convicted of threatening my life.   
      
   We must apply a system of compassion to criminal justice.   
      
   Who are we as a nation if we respond to threats of political   
   retribution with retribution ourselves?

   “The answer to hate is not more hate; it is compassion,” Omar   
   wrote in a letter to Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci,   
   Jr. “Punishing the defendant with a lengthy prison sentence or a   
   burdensome financial fine would not rehabilitate him. It would   
   not repair the harm he has caused. It would only increase his   
   anger and resentment.”   
      
   Carlineo was convicted in 1998 of Criminal Mischief in the   
   Second Degree in Steuben County Court. His conviction prohibited   
   him from legally possessing a firearm. Prosecutors said Carlineo   
   was in possession of a loaded .45 caliber handgun, three rifles,   
   two shotguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at his   
   residence last year.   
      
   Prosecutors said Calineo made the threatening call to retaliate   
   against Omar because he believed she supports Hamas and the   
   Muslim Brotherhood and that her election to Congress was   
   illegitimate.
