Federal Charges Filed Against Man for Threatening Conservative Podcaster Benny Johnson

A California man has been charged federally for allegedly mailing a threatening letter to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, expressing a desire to injure and kill him over his views. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who condemned the act as cowardly and part of a troubling trend of political violence. This arrest follows similar threats made after the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, raising concerns about the safety of political figures on both sides of the spectrum. The suspect, identified as George Isbell Jr., reportedly admitted to sending threats not only to Johnson but also to others affiliated with conservative viewpoints. The Department of Justice emphasized the importance of addressing violent political rhetoric and ensuring accountability for such threats.
