The violent attacks against conservatives are out of control. First, President Donald Trump survived one assassination attempt last year, and another would-be assassin was arrested soon after. Then Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September, and the threats on conservative journalists and commentators are escalating rapidly.
Saturday morning, conservative commentator Tim Pool announced on X that someone drove past his property Friday night and opened fire.
Also Saturday morning, just three hours after Pool’s announcement was posted, conservative podcaster Benny Johnson posted a mugshot of a man he said has been stalking his family, along with other prominent conservatives.
Johnson wrote:
This man showed up at my home where my wife and children live. He was ranting about me and went door to door in my neighborhood trying to find me, terrifying my neighbors. We believe he was armed and fled before the cops arrived.
He then explicitly and publicly threatened the lives of Matt Walsh and his wife and children. He recently showed up at Catturd’s home ranting and raving about me and Matt Walsh and Laura Loomer.
Thank you to the FBI and DOJ for investigating these threats and swiftly arresting stalker Andrew Aiyar. He was clearly spiraling in a very dangerous way.
I don’t like to speak publicly about this kind of stuff because it involves my family and their security. I’m sick over it.
But I have an obligation to amplify this case as it is one of multiple ongoing criminal prosecutions for threats against my family. Over the past year I’ve watched my President get shot in the head and my friend get assassinated. Things are spiraling wildly out of control. There are real-world consequences for psychotic rhetoric and lies amplified online. Enough.
If you are threatening my family expect me to fight back with full force. There is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect my family. I would gladly die for them.
This is good vs. evil.
Darkness vs. light.
The battle is spiritual.
With Christ, we will win.

“Thank you @0hour1 and @catturd2 for your critical work with law enforcement helping to apprehend this threat,” Johnson added, mentioning two other prominent conservative X users.

X user “Catturd” wrote, “When bad things happen to me, it’s basically ignored. I can’t thank you enough for exposing this- big props.”

Journalist Laura Loomer explained: “When Andrew Aiyar was at @catturd2’s home, this individual who has been arrested was heard talking about how he was going to come to my house next. He said he was going to come to my house and @bennyjohnson’s house. When this happened, I immediately called Benny to let him know. At that time, Aiyar’s license plate had been flagged for authorities as he was reported as a dangerous individual on the run, and possibly armed. I’m glad he’s locked up.”

X user 0HOUR, who first exposed the case publicly, had announced on November 30, “The man Andrew Aiyar who was stalking @MattWalshBlog @catturd2 and @bennyjohnson has been charged. He on several occasions showed up to their residences armed. He threatened to kill children and wives. We stopped him fast and now all are safe. Tracked him for days.”
The post includes a thread with multiple screenshots of vile threats Aiyar had made against Matt Walsh’s family.

Matt Walsh added, “Yeah this guy made very graphic violent threats against my children and my wife. I wont repeat or post them, though others have. We get a lot of threats but this was different. It’s getting bad out there. People are becoming completely unhinged. It will only get worse from here.”

All I’ll say is that my life, for at least the last 10 years, has been organized around the idea that psychopaths are trying to murder me, and the deep state is trying to frame me. Still here tho.”

Savages.
Stay safe, Nick. https://t.co/aCRtvl7yAN

This comes after another man was arrested in October after he mailed a threatening, vile letter to Benny Johnson and his wife, touting that he hoped someone would kill him.
