Yet another glaring example of how dangerous and violent the Democratic Party has become – literally a threat to the stability of the country – has presented itself. A man has been arrested for issuing death threats to conservative commentator Benny Johnson and his family, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced today.
“The letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny dead,” Bondi said in a news conference. “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.” She added that the suspect has been arrested.
“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,” Bondi said. “George Isbell Jr., was taken into custody this morning. We are charging him federally with mailing threatening communications. It is a crime, and if convicted, he is going to prison.”
Johnson thanked Bondi and her department for protecting him and his family.
“We are deeply grateful to President Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and the entire Department of Justice for taking swift and decisive action against the rising threat of left-wing violence. We will never stop fighting, we will never stop speaking out,” he wrote on X.

The arrest followed about a month after the public assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. And let’s not forget, President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in Pennsylvania last year by a gunman who was killed by law enforcement. He was targeted again a few months later, but the suspect was apprehended by the Secret Service.
Democrats and their violent rhetoric – labeling all of us who are conservatives as Nazis, fascists, and ‘threats to democracy’ – are causing these attacks and these plots. Enough of trying to “convince them we’re good people.” They’ll never believe that, and they’ll never accept that. And they’ll never stop with the violent rhetoric. It’s time to call them what they are: Domestic terrorists.
