US Attorney General Pam Bondi held a press conference Friday declaring the arrest of an individual who threatened the life of conservative activist Benny Johnson in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
“We’ve been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country,” Bondi said, announcing that on Tuesday George Isbell Jr., 69, was taken into federal custody in San Diego, Calif., and charged with mailing a threatening communication.

“Benny is a well-known media personality, carrying a message very similar to Charlie’s. Grounded largely in faith and love of country. Just days after Charlie’s assassination, Benny received a letter at his home where he and Kate are raising their beautiful, beautiful young family,” Bondi said. “The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny dead.”
“This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this. That’s why we’re standing up here today. You are not going to get away with threatening people in this way. And I’m proud to announce that we have arrested the author of this letter,” she said.
Joining the attorney general’s press conference, Johnson highlighted the noticeable rise in leftist violence.

“If it’s happening every week, is it that extreme? Or has the Democrat Party mainstreamed violence as a political tool?” the host of The Benny Show asked.
“The individual who wrote me described why he wanted me dead. I was a ‘white cis Christian Trump supporter,'” Johnson said. “They described in great detail how I would be killed in an open field just like Charlie. How much blood would come out of my head and neck when it was blown off. This individual described orphaning my four beautiful children and widowing my wife with great joy.”
On X, Johnson noted, “Left-wing violence is exploding with copycats appearing everywhere. It is the greatest threat to our country today, targeting people for simply speaking the truth.”
“Charlie Kirk taught us to go on offense. That is exactly what we will do. We will work harder, speak louder, and grow stronger,” he added.
