A year after Charlie Kirk was killed, the conservative influencers who defended him loudest are facing growing threats from leftwing agitators.

Planning any public engagements? Love to see your head explode and your blood stain the concrete red,' the letter read. The alleged sender, according to prosecutors, was George Isbell Jr., a 69-year-old from San Diego now facing a federal charge for mailing it.The letter attacked Johnson as a 'white cis Christian Trump' advocate and said the writer would take joy in widowing his wife and orphaning his four children.A month later, Loomer, a vocal right-wing Trump supporter with over a million followers on X, faced anti-Semitic death threats on the social media platform.
