(WASHINGTON) — An Oklahoma man admitted Wednesday to cyberstalking Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., and threatening Hern and his wife, federal prosecutors announced.
Keith Charles Eisenberger, 39, of Bartlesville, pleaded guilty to three federal charges, including cyberstalking; threatening to kidnap and assault a member of Congress; and threatening to kidnap and assault the spouse of a member of Congress, the Justice Department said in a statement.
He was first charged in May.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners will not tolerate online threats of violence meant to intimidate elected officials or members of our community. Keith Eisenberger now understands there are legal repercussions to committing these criminal acts,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
According to the Justice Department, Eisenberger admitted to prosecutors that he threatened and harassed Hern online from Nov. 27, 2018, to May 11, 2022, and ultimately threatened to assault and kidnap Hern to interfere with his official duties. He later threatened to kidnap and assault Hern’s wife.
Prosecutors said the concerning comments started in 2018 when Hern first assumed office and became increasingly violent as time went on. The threats were made during visits to Hern’s office in Washington and over the phone and social media.
During one visit to Hern’s office in 2019, Eisenberger told Capitol Police that he was angry because he thought Hern had been appointed to the seat without Eisenberger being considered for it, prosecutors said.
In a plea agreement, prosecutors and an attorney for Eisenberger agreed that sentencing guidelines call for 36 months in prison, the Justice Department said. He will then undergo 36 months of supervised release, according to the agreement.
Eisenberger’s guilty plea comes at a time of what law enforcement has called heightened concern over political violence.
A Seattle man was recently charged with felony stalking after allegedly yelling racial epithets outside the home of Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
Another man was arrested in June for allegedly threatening to kill Brett Kavanaugh while outside the Supreme Court justice’s home.
And in Ohio on Thursday, a suspected “domestic violent extremist” was fatally shot after attempting to break into an FBI office there, leading to an hours-long standoff.

The 1975 will headline the U.K.’s Reading & Leeds festivals in place of Rage Against the Machine.
As previously reported, the reunited “Killing in the Name” outfit dropped off the Reading & Leeds bill when they canceled their upcoming U.K. and European tour dates “per medical guidance” related to an injury frontman Zack de la Rocha suffered earlier this month during a show in Chicago. As a result of the injury, de la Rocha has been performing while seated throughout Rage’s U.S. tour.
“The flights, travel time, and rigorous schedule in the U.K. and Europe are simply too much of a risk for a complete recovery,” Rage said in a statement.
Rage still plans to finish the current leg of the band’s U.S. tour, which concludes this Sunday with a fifth straight show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The tour, which was originally scheduled for 2020 before being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marks the first live Rage shows since 2011.
The 1975, meanwhile, joins the Reading & Leeds lineup alongside Arctic Monkeys, Glass Animals, Bring Me the Horizon, Wolf Alice, Halsey, Bastille and All Time Low. The bill had also included Måneskin, but they canceled their set earlier this week due “unforeseen scheduling conflicts.”
Reading & Leeds, which consists of two twin festivals taking place over the same weekend with the same lineup, will be held this year August 26-28.
The hit singer has announced that her sophomore album, Bell Bottom Country, will be released October 28. Described as a blend of country, ’70s rock, soul and funk, the album features current single “Heart Like a Truck” and newly released track “Watermelon Moonshine.”
She also penned a tribute to her father, Brian, with “Those Boots (Deddy’s Song).” The singer has shared on social media that her father has recently been experiencing some health issues.
“I’ve lived quite a bit of life the past few years, and I have a lot more to say. Sure, I love a good pair of bell bottoms, but Bell Bottom Country to me has always been about the flare and what makes someone unique — I have really embraced mine, and I hope y’all can hear that across this project,” Lainey says in a statement.
Bell Bottom Country follows her 2021 debut album, Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin,’ that included her first #1 hit, “Things a Man Oughta Know.”

Joe Jonas not only has a busy singing and entrepreneurial career — he recently welcomed his second child with wife Sophie Turner. So how does the “Cake By the Ocean” singer balance his family and professional lives?
“It’s an adjustment period,” Joe told Peoplein a new interview. “Just something that I’m learning as I go, I think I can now work a little bit harder to take time off. I’m still trying to figure it out.”
In addition to managing a family of four, Joe holds down two bands — DNCE and, of course, the Jonas Brothers — and has started pursuing acting with the upcoming Korean War drama Devotion. The singer also partnered with the canned mimosa company Ohza and has been crowned the new spokesman for corrective lenses company STAAR Surgical.
That in mind, Joe explained that he isn’t exhausted by his full plate. In fact, he finds it fulfilling. “Some weeks are a little bit more challenging than others, but it makes it a lot easier when you enjoy your gig,” he said. “I wake up every day just thrilled to be able to go make music or act and create different projects and have a beautiful family, so it feels like a dream come true.”
He also said it’s “very freeing” to set his own schedule to pursue his passions.
Joe noted moving to Miami has allowed for life to be more manageable. “We went to come visit and we just loved it. I saw a whole different side of Miami that I’ve never experienced — really quiet areas, and the food’s amazing. I feel like it’s the best-kept secret,” he said. “It’s not far from Europe and it’s not far from New York. My parents live in North Carolina, so they’re a lot closer.”
The second episode of the new four-part Rolling Stones docuseries My Life as a Rolling Stone premieres on EPIX this Sunday, August 14, at 9 p.m. ET.
The new installment focuses specifically on Keith Richards, looking at how important the founding Stones guitarist’s passion for music has been to the band, and how his bad boy and rebellious image has played such a major role in the group’s legend.
In a preview clip, Richards talks about how important he feels it is for a song to have a good guitar intro.
“[I]f an intro can grab you, you’re gonna to be in for at least a few more minutes,” he notes. “And if the riff behind that intro grabs you then, then you pretty much got ’em.”
Richards also discusses the unique way he devised of setting up his guitar, which entails removing the low E string and tuning the remaining five strings to a G chord.
He explains about the sound of the specially tuned guitar, “There is something about the intonation of the notes, the separation at the point — I would say almost mystical — that when hit in the right way, in the right moment, you know, [it’s a] cheap ride to heaven.”
As previously reported, the series, which was produced to coincide with the British rock legends’ 60th anniversary, is made up of four hour-long episodes, each focusing on a different band member. Last week’s premiere episode profiled singer Mick Jagger, while the final two installments will look at longtime guitarist Ronnie Wood and late drummer Charlie Watts, respectively.
In addition to new conversations with Jagger, Richards and Wood, My Life as a Rolling Stone features new interviews with a variety of other noteworthy music artists.
Death Cab for Cutie has premiered a new song called “Foxglove Through the Clearcut,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Asphalt Meadows.
“‘Foxglove’ is by far the most personal song on the record,” says frontman Ben Gibbard, who performs the cut almost entirely as a spoken word piece.
“While I was writing it, I thought I was merely the narrator,” he adds. “But the longer I sat with it, I realized I was both the protagonist AND the narrator.”
You can listen to “Foxglove Through the Clearcut” now via digital outlets. It’s accompanied by a lyric video, which is streaming now on YouTube.
Asphalt Meadows, the follow-up to 2018’s Thank You for Today, will be released September 16. It also includes the previously released songs “Here to Forever” and “Roman Candles.”
Death Cab will launch a U.S. headlining tour in support of Asphalt Meadows September 22 in Madison, Wisconsin.
