Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a press conference on Friday the arrest of George Isbell Jr., who was charged in a criminal complaint with “mailing threatening communications” to commentator Benny Johnson.

Bondi thanked the people who had worked on the case and said Isbell had been arrested on October 7.

“Benny is a well-known media personality, carrying a message very similar to Charlie [Kirk’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.” 

According to the complaint, Isbell allegedly mailed a letter from San Diego, saying “You all need to be exterminated. Don’t worry – won’t be me. I’m not giving up my freedoms for worm s**t like you.” 

Johnson said everyone should be able to unify behind the concept that “this is a country where families should be able to raise their children safely, where people can have peaceful disagreements, and we can all live together under one American flag.” 

This is a developing story. RedState will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
