A Georgia man has pleaded guilty to calling in threats to U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia announced Tuesday.

Jason Kenneth Bell, 41, of Cochran pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of anonymous telecommunications harassment before U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell in Macon. Bell admitted calling and threatening both senators, said U.S. Attorney Charles Peeler.

“Mr. Bell's decision to threaten and harass two United States senators will not be tolerated,” Peeler said. “There is no place in our country for this conduct.”

Bell will be sentenced Aug. 29. He is represented by Christina Hunt, a federal defender in Macon. She could not be reached for comment.

In an anonymous call to Scott's Washington office on Oct. 23, Bell made a profanity-laced threat to kill the black Republican senator from South Carolina for suggesting “neo-Nazi and white people are the problem,” according to an FBI affidavit. “Are we as a white people supposed to just stand for this injustice, or do we do what Dylann Roof did?” Bell said during the call.

Roof, a self-declared white supremacist, was sentenced to death last year for the 2015 murders of nine black worshipers at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.

An FBI agent testified at a hearing in Bell's case that during one phone call to Scott's office, Bell said, “I'm anti-black” and then called for the extermination of African-Americans.

Bell also pleaded guilty to making anonymous calls to Schumer's office in March 2017. Bell said the Senate minority leader from New York would be “hunted down” when “true patriots” rise, according to Bell's plea agreement.

Bell has been the subject of several FBI threat assessments stemming from threatening calls he's made the NAACP, local news stations, CNN and other members of Congress, according to court documents.
