The death threat occurred in a video that YouTube is still currently hosting at press time, identified with the tag #Biden2020. The video allows supporters to send the content creator money, meaning YouTube is allowing the individual in question to monetize death threats.

The target of the death threat – Orlando Gutiérrez-Boronat, the co-founder of the Cuban Democratic Directorate (Directorio) and head of the umbrella Assembly of the Cuban Resistance, as well as a frequent Breitbart News contributor  – told Breitbart News that law enforcement is aware of the threat and has launched an investigation. He noted that it was far from the first time that individuals and groups associated with the Castro regime have threatened and attacked Cuban exile advocates, including assassinating some members of the community, but that the threats "inspires us to struggle even harder."
