Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz announced Friday that a madman carrying a manifesto containing “anti-Semitic rhetoric” was arrested in his district in connection with a possible conspiracy in the lawmaker's life.

According to NBC News, Margate police arrested 41-year-old Johnathan Lapinski in connection with the incident. According to that report, he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and other gun-related charges.

According to Moskowitz, Lapinski, a convicted felon, was in possession of a rifle, a silencer and body armor.

The madman was also in possession of a manifesto containing “anti-Semitic rhetoric” and the congressman's name on a “target list,” the lawmaker said.

In the statement, Moskowitz pointed to seemingly ongoing threats against politicians.

“As someone who was appointed to the Donald Trump Attempted Assassination Task Force, I understand the failures and the importance of ensuring the protection of our current and future Commander in Chief and Vice President,” Moskowitz wrote on X.

“At the same time, I am very concerned about the safety of members of Congress and the significant lack thereof when we are in the district,” he added.

On Friday it was revealed that Iran tried to organize an assassination attempt on President-elect Donald Trump.

In a sensational criminal complaint, the government said Farhad Shakeri, 51, was hired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to “surveil and ultimately assassinate” Trump.

The murder plot also targeted prominent Brooklyn journalist and vocal Tehran critic Masih Alinejad. Brooklyn native Carlisle “Pop” Rivera, 49, and Staten Island native Jonathan Loadholt, 36, were arrested and face charges in connection with this conspiracy.

In 2017, a maniac armed with a rifle shot and killed Republican Rep. Steve Scalise during a baseball practice in Washington, DC.

James Hodgkinson, 66, fired at least 50 shots at the congressman and Capitol Police officers with a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun.

Hodgkinson was killed at the scene of the shooting.

Moskowitz is married and has two sons. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2023.
