Part 3/11:
Johnson contextualized this threat within a pattern of violence and political hostility. He recounted witnessing a close friend—whom he described as a brother—shot dead on a live stream by a radical left-wing extremist only a month prior. He also recalled seeing the President of the United States shot in the head, a heartbreaking incident captured on video, which further symbolizes the dangerous climate.
A Pattern of Violence: From Assassinations to Mass Shootings
Johnson detailed a series of violent incidents, including:
The killing of a Trump supporter and a political figure during a public shooting.
The massacre of Christian children engaged in prayer at a church.
An attack on federal law enforcement with sniper rounds just weeks earlier.
