A man from South Carolina finds himself under his third indictment for allegedly threatening a U.S. president. This time, his target was President Donald Trump, as detailed in a letter from prison claiming, “we will kill him too,” according to federal prosecutors. Previously, he has been convicted for making similar threats against Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Eric Rome Jr. issued a cautionary statement in a letter dated January 6, sent to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in Chicago, where he ominously stated, “Enjoy having Trump in office while you can,” as per his federal indictment.

The 37-year-old is serving time for armed robbery at Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia. His previous indictments were delivered in 2015 for threats against Obama and again in 2022 for threats aimed at Biden.

Rome’s latest letter also included threats against former Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his daughter, Sarah, declaring, “These are guarantees!” according to the indictment.

Rome has previously identified himself as a white supremacist and a member of both the Aryan Brotherhood of South Carolina and the “Proud Boys” group.

In a 2021 voicemail, Rome expressed a confrontational stance, threatening Joe Biden and Kamala Harris by stating, “Our intent is war on the federal government and specifically the assassination of the feds.”

“We will execute the old man and post videos of his death on as many web platforms as we can,” Rome blasted, according to the federal indictment for that case. “I”ve … planned to get out of this prison … and carry out a sniper attack on Joe Biden and take his life. I’m willing to die in the attempt.”

In 2014, Rome called the South Carolina Department of Corrections while locked up on state charges for the robbery to deliver death threats about Obama. “When I get out … I’m pretty sure I’m going to shoot the President,” Rome said, according to the 2014 indictment. “I just figured I’d let you know.”

In his Jan. 6 letter from prison, Rome scrawled out numerous threats toward Christian and Jewish citizens, claiming groups associated with the religions had their “hands so far up Donald Trump’s a—,” per the indictment.

Rome allegedly claimed he and others from the Aryan Brotherhood would “begin hunting” people in the near future. “We … are not going to sit idle,” Rome threatened, according to the indictment.

The Justice Department noted in a press release that Rome “signed his full name to the letter” before sending it off. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison if convicted.

Once his armed robbery sentence ends in 2030, Rome will begin serving his sentences for threatening Obama and Biden.
