Former Speaker McCarthy received dozens of threats from a convicted man.

The Speaker of the House received numerous threatening phone calls from a man in Montana, resulting in his conviction.

Over 100 threatening calls were made to then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy's office by Richard Rogers, 45, following the U.S. government's shooting down of a Chinese balloon over Montana.

On Wednesday, a federal jury convicted Rogers of threatening to attack McCarthy and two counts of making harassing phone calls.

In February 2020, Rogers made more than 100 calls to McCarthy's office in just 75 minutes, according to prosecutors.

Between 2021 and 2022, he made more than 150 calls to the FBI tip line.

Frequently, his calls contained vulgar and offensive remarks, along with physical threats, according to authorities.

"It's not appropriate to speak to people in that manner," Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Godfrey stated. "He's not making the call for political reasons; rather, he does it for enjoyment."

In court, Rogers claimed that his numerous calls to McCarthy's office, which were motivated by the Chinese balloon and covered a range of topics including the FBI and President Biden, constituted an act of "civil disobedience."

Rogers admitted to using abusive language against congressional staff and receptionists because they were disrespectful to him.

Rogers is set to be sentenced on Jan. 31.

A congressman was threatened with harm, resulting in a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

He could be imprisoned for two years and fined $250,000 for the harassment conviction.
