A Florida woman is going to prison for making political threats on social media videos.
According to evidence presented at trial, 41-year-old Desiree Doreen Segari, of Sarasota, posted a video on TikTok calling for MAGA supporters to be shot on sight on August 17, 2025.
Segari stated, “so if we all get our guns and use our second amendment right…and you see somebody with a MAGA hat, ‘pew pew’ that’s what we do, that’s the way, it’s the only way.”
While saying “pew pew,” Segari used hand gestures mimicking the firing of a gun.
She further stated, “Put them back in their basements, make them scared again to be racist, homophobic, and terrible just awful [expletive],” and “MAGA people deserve to be terrified and scared to walk in the streets because they should know that real Americans are gonna [mouths expletive] kill them.”
When Segari posted the video, she included a caption: “#seemagapewpewmaga starting a new trend, hope it catches on. Please spread the word. Share this video. Repost it. Use the hashtag all over the internet. Let’s go guys. It’s time to fight back in a potentially effective manner.”
The next day, Segari posted another video on TikTok, in which she stated, “See MAGA pew pew MAGA, see MAGA pew pew MAGA, see MAGA pew pew MAGA so these [expletive] know we ain’t here to play” while again using hand gestures to mimic the firing of a gun.
A federal jury found Segari guilty.
41-year-old Desiree Doreen Segari, of Sarasota, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Katheryn Kimball Mizell to 14 months in federal prison for interstate communication of a threat to injure.
This Florida case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael Sinacore. U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement. Segari was indicted on September 18, 2025.
