À propos de cet audio
Benny Johnson is in the headlines this week after a serious incident resulted in federal charges against a man accused of mailing him a death threat. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at a Tampa press conference that George Isbell Jr. was arrested in San Diego, just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a close friend and fellow conservative activist. The arrest stems from a letter received at Benny’s home, threatening not only him, but also making horrific violent statements against his family. Bondi made clear that law enforcement acted quickly and coordinated across federal, state, and local agencies, including the FBI and DOJ. Benny appeared publicly, standing alongside officials, thanking law enforcement for their prompt protection and calling for an end to the cycle of political violence. He described how terrifying it was for his family, praised the coordinated response, and urged unity behind the principle that everyone should feel safe from threats regardless of political views, specifically thanking the Trump administration and saying, “I will never forget it... It is the greatest goodness that has ever been done to me,” according to statements at the press event.
On the comedic front, Benny became the center of ridicule during a game segment on the satirical panel show “Have I Got News for You” broadcast October 19. Comedians gleefully revisited Benny’s public firing from BuzzFeed for repeated plagiarism, with panelists joking that he was dismissed over 41 cases, including even BuzzFeed’s staple listicles. This resurfacing of Benny’s BuzzFeed tenure is a recurring meme in political circles and remains a defining footnote in his career according to the panel’s host.
Social media conversation around Benny Johnson has surged in the past few days, with users debating the significance and severity of the threats made against him, the law enforcement response, and the broader pattern of violence targeting political figures in the United States. Conservative accounts have rallied to Benny’s defense, sharing footage of Attorney General Bondi’s press conference and Benny’s emotional remarks. Some progressive commentators, meanwhile, have cited Benny’s own history of controversial statements, including positions on immigration and DACA judges aired on his show just last week, as reported by Media Matters.
Business activity for Benny centers largely on his continued podcasting and streaming, with “The Benny Show” maintaining daily uploads and commentary. His brand and personal site experienced a notable traffic spike after the news broke. No confirmed new projects or deals have been reported in the past 24 hours; speculation, widely circulated by fans, suggests that Benny may be lining up significant interviews in the aftermath of the incident, but his team has not commented.
No major new appearances or headlines about Benny have broken in the last 24 hours, outside of the continuing coverage around the threat investigation and the fallout of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, which remains a highly public matter tying Benny’s name repeatedly to the tragedy and its political context.
