A speaker at a pro-Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Friday warned high profile U.S. politicians that the "Angel of Death is coming for them" by the end of the year.
The speaker at the "ReAwaken America" rally, Bo Polny, showed photos of individuals who he said would face death, according to HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias on Twitter.
"Crowd cheers as speaker Bo Polny declares prophecy that the 'Angel of death' will be visiting these people by end of year," Mathias tweeted. "Ends speech by saying '45 is coming back!'"
The photos of politicians shown at the rally included Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former President Bill Clinton and Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Photos of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and CNN anchor Chris Wallace were also shown.

The two-day "ReAwaken America" rally includes speakers who have backed QAnon conspiracy theories and spread falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from former President Donald Trump. The roster includes Trump ally Roger Stone, former Trump adviser and retired U.S. Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, and Eric Trump. GOP Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano is also expected to speak during the event on Saturday.
The event is founded by Clay Clark, host of the Thrivetime Show podcast. A representative for Clark told Newsweek that he was not available for comment on Saturday.
Newsweek has also reached out to representatives for Graham and Trump for comment.
During the event on Friday, Eric Trump said that his father should testify before the House select committee investigating last year's Capitol riot, who formally subpoenaed the former president hours earlier.
"This hoax committee. And I'm telling you, I told him a minute ago—I go, you have to go testify, because it will be the greatest entertainment. Who wants to pop a beer, make some popcorn, and watch Donald Trump talk about election fraud in the United States of America?" Eric Trump asked.
Eric Trump then called his father on the phone, who told the crowd: "We're gonna bring this country back because our country's never been in such bad shape as it is now."
In July, a planned "ReAwaken America" event in Rochester, New York, was canceled following concerns from the community about white supremacists. An online petition urged the owner of the Main Street Armory where the event was scheduled to take place to cancel it.
"The 'Reawaken America' tour is likely to draw white supremacists and other members of hate groups from around the northeast to our community," the petition, which received more than 2,000 signatures, said.
