Benny Johnson Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

In the last few days Benny Johnson has been everywhere, both as a pro‑Trump media star and as the eye of a very online storm. At Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix, he has been a constant presence on stage and on cable, using the death of his close ally Charlie Kirk to sharpen his populist message and his own legacy. Fox News’ Saturday in America featured him live from the conference, where he promised that TPUSA would, in his words, “save our country” and cast Kirk as a martyr whose mission he now presents himself as helping to carry on, a framing that elevates him from commentator to keeper of the flame in the youth conservative movement according to Fox News. On the same weekend, Right Side Broadcasting Network aired a lengthy segment with Greg Gutfeld and Benny Johnson sharing a stage at AmericaFest, riffing on Trump, media hypocrisy, and the post‑Kirk future of the conservative movement, underlining Benny’s role as a crossover figure between MAGA activism and entertainment media as seen on RSBN’s coverage. Turning Point USA’s own video feed has also pushed his solo AmericaFest speech, “The REAL Threat to America,” positioning him as a headline draw rather than a supporting act, which could prove biographically significant as TPUSA recalibrates without Kirk according to TPUSA’s AmFest video stream. Offstage, though, the drama has been darker. Entertainment site Primetimer and other outlets report that Benny is now threatening a defamation lawsuit against Milo Yiannopoulos over Milo’s public claims about Benny’s alleged sexual history and behavior at past conservative conferences, including pointed allegations about “boys” in hotel lobbies and insinuations about Benny’s marriage. Those outlets also debunk a viral screenshot claiming Benny wrote a 2014 BuzzFeed article titled “Let’s Be Honest, Straight Guys: We All Like Butt Stuff,” tracing the real byline to Rose Dalle at Vice in 2016, and stressing that attributing it to Benny is misinformation according to Primetimer and related media reporting. Benny has responded on X by vowing to use the legal system to defend his family’s reputation and promising more details to come, while Milo has publicly welcomed a fight and taunted that discovery would “destroy” Benny’s career; at this point, no lawsuit filing has been confirmed in court records, so all talk of an actual case remains prospective and unverified beyond their own posts. So as of this week, Benny Johnson’s biography is pivoting on two parallel tracks: the polished AmericaFest headliner burnishing his status as a spiritual heir to Charlie Kirk in front of thousands of activists, and the embattled online pugilist threatening defamation litigation to protect his image, his marriage, and his future as a right‑wing influencer.
