A 21-year-old Michigan man is possibly facing 40 years in prison if convicted for threatening to kill President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), authorities said.

Joshua Docter was charged “with one count of threat of terrorism and one count of using a computer to commit a crime, both 20-year felonies,” according to a statement from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Docter posted comments on the social media platform iFunny in January threatening to kill Biden, Pelosi and Whitmer, saying it would “be the catalyst” for an American revolution, according to the statement. Authorities said they also found bombmaking instructions in his phone.
