Joseph F. Morelli, 51, from Endicott, New York, has been convicted of making threatening phone calls from his home to the voicemail of a member of Congress in Washington D.C., Rep. Greene, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.
On March 3, 2022, Morelli confessed to making a phone call to the Washington office, which contained the following words: "I'm gonna have to take your life into my own hands… I'm gonna hurt you. Physically, I’m gonna harm you."
A second voicemail left by Morelli for Greene said, “I’m gonna have to show you, to your face, right up front, what violence truly is, and I don’t think you’re gonna like it.… I can pay someone 500 bucks to take a baseball bat and crack your skull. …You are going to get f**king physically hurt.”

The message went on to say that the speaker was willing to pay someone $500 to "take a baseball bat and crack" the recipient's skull.

"The press keeps asking me about threats against Rep. Omar, but none of them knew about this guilty plea for a threat against my life. Multiple people who want to kill me have been arrested, but the DC media doesn’t report it. It’s two-tiered justice and two-tiered coverage."
