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.”

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.

That’s a stretch.........😉
Is he antifa?
Interesting. What "control" is he talking about? The system is working. The courts are working, although not to everyone's liking; but they are a separate branch of government than the president he hates.
Is he referring to the Democrats having lost "control" of the narrative, the legacy media and the Congress? But that's because of the thing the left loves: "our democracy!"—which spoke during the last presidential election.
How I hope some semblance of justice is done to this dangerous lunatic.
Antifa is just an idea............ 🙄😁
“”Benjamin Azariah Southworth””
I would guess not a native born American....
On the bright side, these leftists are as stupid as they are evil and insane, so many of them self-identify and many get arrested before they can gather enough courage to actually act on their threats.
BRAVE AI:
Benjamin Azariah Southworth is a 40-year-old Los Angeles-based podcaster, former Christian television host, and LGBTQ advocate who was arrested on September 3, 2026, on federal charges.
Previously known for hosting the syndicated show The Remix and the podcast Yass, Jesus!, Southworth came out as gay in 2008 and was named one of Instinct Magazine’s “Leading Men” that year. He was indicted by a federal grand jury for threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump, cyberstalking, and harassing interstate telephone calls.
Charges: Prosecutors allege he posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube from January to May 2026 calling for Trump’s death, including an April 7 video stating, “Kill Donald Trump.” He also allegedly “doxxed” Trump’s personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, by publishing the lawyer’s home address and photos, and left threatening voicemails for the attorney’s family.
Penalty: If convicted on all three counts, Southworth faces a maximum of 12 years in federal prison (up to five years for threatening the president, five for cyberstalking, and two for telephonic harassment).
Status: He was taken into custody at his Westlake, Los Angeles, home and scheduled for arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.
Every day we are met with the news of another loon who is trying to outdo the last one...it’s a competition as I see it. Go back to the time BEFORE smart phones and social media and watch things go back to semi-normal in this country. Everyone wants to be THE story today..
The sad thing is that the government will not allow us to fix this.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Many people believe that’s because the government itself has for decades been controlled by elected and appointed unindicted criminals.
Given over to my team...

I hope your team has a long list of applicants, and adequate financial assets and support.
He’ll be out by dinner.

Yep, but if he’s unlucky, he could be in a morgue by breakfast!
Yes, Indeed.
I have often said similar about “Social Media”.. As much as I despise it (beyond places like FR and special interest [non-political] forums) where you can learn something useful, at least they help us to identify stupid and/or evil people, when otherwise no one would know about them (until it is too late, anyway).
