TAMPA, Florida – A Florida woman who created TikTok videos urging MAGA supporters of President Donald Trump to be shot on sight was convicted Tuesday in federal court.
Desiree Doreen Segari, 41, of Sarasota, Florida, was found guilty of interstate communication of a threat to injure after posting a disturbing video on Aug. 17 in which she put a mortal target on everyone who wants to Make America Great Again.
Segari stated in her video: “People like that respond to fear and terror and aggression, not logic and empathy and, I don’t know, intelligence. It just doesn’t work for them. Fear works.
“So if we all get our guns and use our Second Amendment right and our common sense – at this point this administration is begging us to rise up and revolt – 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 continued, “Put them back in their basements, make them scared again to be racist, homophobic, and terrible just awful f***ing pieces of s***,” and “MAGA people deserve to be terrified and scared to walk in the streets because they should know that real Americans are gonna f***ing kill them.”

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.
When Segari posted the video, she included a caption: “#seemagapewpewmaga, saying, 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 investigation was handled by the FBI, and Segari faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 5.
