A New Jersey man was sentenced to three years of probation Thursday after making a threatening call to a U.S. congressman last year over the official’s stance on the “gays,” according to NBC News.
Allan Poller, 24, was attending Keene State College in Keena, New Hampshire, before calling an unidentified member of the House of Representatives in March of 2023 and threatening to put a “bullet to your f—— head” if the representative kept “on coming for the gays.” Poller pleaded guilty to the charge of using interstate commerce to transmit a threat of injury in October and was sentenced to three years of probation and a fine of $500 in federal court, according to NBC News.
“[Poller] has used the catastrophic effect of his actions as a catalyst to begin a new path in his life,” his attorney wrote in a sentencing memorandum, NBC News reported. “He has strengthened his bond with his family and has completely accepted recovery into his life.”
Poller claimed that he was “emotional and intoxicated” when he made the call after watching videos on TikTok. He also argued that despite his threats, he did not own any firearms.
“Hi, my name is Allan Poller, A-L-L-A-N P-O-L-L-E-R, phone number []8931,” Poller said in the voicemail message. “And I just want to let you know, Representative [Name], if you keep on coming for the gays, we’re gonna strike back and I guarantee you, you do not want to f— with us,” he said, according to the press release. “We will kill you if that’s what it takes. I will take a bullet to your f—— head if you f— with my rights anymore. And then if you want to keep going down that path, you know who’s next.”
The prosecution and Poller’s attorney favored probation, with the former noting that the former college student had “faced dramatic challenges in his life but had no prior contacts with the criminal justice system” and “has also already faced significant consequences as a result of his conduct, arrest, and plea in this case,” according to NBC News.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: For America’s ruling elites, nothing is more precious, wonderful and life-giving to their great cause than the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol. It’s irrelevant that the events didn’t come remotely close to constituting an actual “insurrection,” or that both police and over 200 undercover FBI assets provoked the riot – which Tucker Carlson calls a “set-up.” Yet Vice President Kamala Harris still insists the minor riot was just as horrific as the 9/11 terror attacks and Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
WHY are the elites doing this?
It’s not just because convicting, imprisoning, torturing and destroying the lives of hundreds of Trump supporters is meant to terrify and intimidate millions of Americans into submission. And it’s not just because activist judges and bureaucrats in over 30 states are absurdly trying to keep Trump off their state’s election ballots by citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against anyone who “engaged in insurrection” from holding elective office.
It’s because the elites’ destruction of America is so rapid, horrendous and obvious that they feel compelled to turn their opponents into monsters – or lose power at the next election. But that doesn’t mean just calling conservatives and Christians “racists,” “white supremacists,” “radical extremists” and “domestic terrorists” as they do continually. They know much more is needed.
Question: What if, far from being horrified by a half-baked riot they absurdly claim is worse than any domestic disturbance since the Civil War, the left actually LOVES the idea of violence on the right – the worse the better – since it perfectly serves their agenda? Increasingly, all the evidence strongly suggests today’s power-mad leftist elites not only intend to intimidate and discredit their political opponents by calling them terrorists, they mean to provoke actual violence.
The secret strategies and shocking tactics of today’s ascendant far-left elites are exposed as perhaps never before in the January issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, headlined “INCITING VIOLENCE: DEMS’ SECRET STRATEGY FOR STAYING IN POWER.”
