First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced that the 40-year-old is accused of posting videos calling for the president’s assassination, then targeting the family of Trump’s personal attorney by publishing a home address and phone numbers and leaving voicemails that justice would “come to your door.”
Benjamin Azariah Southworth, 40, of Los Angeles has been indicted by a grand jury on federal charges for threatening to kill President Trump, cyberstalking, and making harassing interstate calls.

Essayli said in a post on X, "Threats against the President of the United States are federal crimes. We will not tolerate threats of political violence in the United States. My office will prosecute anyone who crosses that line to the fullest extent of the law."
According to charging papers obtained by the New York Post, prosecutors say Southworth used Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok from January through May to call for Trump’s death and later claimed some of it was “just rhetoric.”
An April 7 Instagram video cited in the case includes the lines, “I have been vocal in calling for the execution of Donald Trump. This government is illegitimate and out of control. It’s time for course correction. Kill Donald Trump.”
Other posts and texts quoted by prosecutors include statements that he wanted Trump and “his minions dead” and a March video repeating the call to kill the president.
One clip described in the filings depicts a staged scene of him appearing behind Trump in the Oval Office with a knife.
He also recorded a video for followers in case of arrest, acknowledging that calling for a president’s execution can put someone on a list.

Another TDS POS. Hopefully he dies in custody.
“But, but, muh free speech, maaaaaan!”
People like this guy need an attitude adjustment. Given over to my team for that would have him within 2-3 months making a video with genuine tears apologizing for what he said and begging others not to follow in his footsteps and he would NEVER change his mind on having repented and made that apology. The sad thing is that the government will not allow us to fix this.
An old Russian axiom: “Men are not Mountains”. Meaning, mountains never meet, but men do. Perhaps someone will meet him soon.
I wonder if he’s the guy I saw being arrested live on a podcast while playing some video game?
The only difference between a “Leftist podcaster” and a terrorist is that the Leftist podcaster has a microphone in front of his face all the time.
The next time he takes a breath of free air he’s going to look a lot different.
Gray hair, gray beard, furrowed brow, possibly a bent or crumpled nose.
ADIOS Muchacho!
You did not sound very healthy the last time I saw one of your posts. It sounds like your health has improved. But it also sounds like that experience may have changed you a bit.
Prayers up that your life returns to an even footing.
He’s gay. He might enjoy prison. LOL!
The leftards, to a man, believe they are the smart ones and we are drooling idiots. Tell me, Southworth, how smart was that?
They’re against the death penalty for convicted murderers, but all for the execution of people for the crimes of thinking, speaking, and voting differently than them.
Hmmmmm.
He looks like he is trying to be another Zidget.
We have been invaded and now paying the price.
Thanks open border/immigration jerks in both parties.
He’ll be out by dinner.
