A self-described anarchist tried to pay $45,000 to have a hit man kill Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to authorities.

Tyler Avalos, 29, of Minnesota, shared the threat on TikTok and said he wanted Bondi "dead or alive," but "preferably dead," NBC News reported, citing an FBI affidavit.

A tip came in from Detroit on Oct. 9, according to the report, which led investigators to Avalos' TikTok feed. One post featured Bondi's photo with what appeared to be a sniper's red dot on her forehead."

The suspect wrote a comment saying, "'Cough cough'/'when you don't serve us then what?'" the affidavit said.

Avalos has a criminal history that includes convictions for stalking and domestic battery. Furthermore, he was involved in another misdemeanor battery case that stemmed from a felony domestic assault by strangulation, according to the report.

This year has featured numerous high-profile acts of politically motivated violence, most notably the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the killing of Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her spouse, along with shootings targeting other Democratic officials, and an arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home.
