Conservative podcast Benny Johnson says he is considering legal lawsuits against opposition The New York Times About what he calls “sloppy hitting work,” which downplays the dangers his wife and newborns face

The 2020 fire killed two dogs and security cameras, showing police prying open Johnson’s front door with a crowbar, and his wife left, holding the baby as the smoke fell. New York Times reporter Ken Bensinger wrote August 30th headline“He stole and promoted falsehood. The White House hugged him, which implied that influencers embellished his family’s experience.

“Absolutely investigating [legal action]. This has caused great pain to my family. Why backup it? Why force my wife to revisit this? It was the worst day of our lives. ” Johnson told Fox News Numbers.

“The whole article and my entire involvement with this journalist The New York Times is what he said, ‘We should not sympathize with letting our house be damaged in a horrible fire [where] Johnson continued, there was a videotape in my child’s nursery with flames and black smoke. The left shows real humanity, and they really need to solve this problem. ”

When pro-Trump Pondt Johnson with 3.8 million followers on X participated Press Conference on August 12 About the government’s criminal destruction in the national capital.

“As a DC resident for 15 years, I live on Capitol Hill. I have witnessed so many robberies and thefts, and I have lost track,” Johnson told press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “I was hijacked. I was murdered on ring cameras and mass shootings. I witnessed a woman grabbing the gun at the gun for $20, and my house was placed in arson with a baby inside.”

Johnson believes that the Times has tried to discredit his claims. “Police records show that no one has been murdered in the neighborhood of Johnson living in Washington since at least 2017. His house has not been burned down despite the house of his next-door neighbor being “deliberately burned down.”

Johnson told Fox News Numbers that the Times failed to add key facts and contexts related to the fire and murder he mentioned in the press conference.

“For those who are not familiar with the Rowhouse model, these houses share walls. This is something I’m particularly insulting. They exclude it from the article. It’s like saying that the room connected to your child’s nursery is placed. It shares walls with your child,” Johnson said.

Johnson continued, “So, this is a room in your home. It’s on fire. But, The New York Times said, even though the room next to him or her was burning, the dog was burned inside,” Johnson continued. “That’s what The New York Times decided to say to my fire.”

Johnson said he provided the times with photos and videos about what happened.

“In doubt, the whole collapse is a ‘we can’t prove anything’, but we do prove something, and despite that, they still wrote that the police report does not indicate that we are at risk.”

In YouTube videos Johnson, published on August 6, said his family was “almost dead” in the incident and his home was “burned”.

Johnson also said he lived in a row house when he witnessed the murder in 2017 and called the article “sloppy work.”

Johnson posted a text message exchange with Bensinger on X.

“Dc Fire Records show that on October 25, 2020, the arson was actually in your next door neighbor’s house. No one was injured (although two dogs were killed). Your wife and children’s lives were almost put at risk. This is the inability to confirm or reject reports based on police and fire, which does not mention the risk of the neighbor, which is a copy of the neighbor.

“It was Ken’s direct text to me, declaring that I could not ‘confirm’ my family was in danger, despite police video evidence that the dog was burned to death.”

Bensinger Responded on X: “There is absolutely no evidence in this angle that his child is in danger. That’s him lying because it was “burned to the ground”. The house was not on fire, it was not burning.”

“Johnson said the article was directed at his wife and children. It was not true. It was about the authenticity of him and his history; there were few mentions of them. The article did say about the Security Video viewed by The Times, showing Mr. Johnson’s wife and a child were escorted out of their home, but no one was injured, ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””

“It was NYT that excavated police and fire reports that he repeatedly claimed in public that (a) his house was burned to the ground and (b) there was a murder on his front lawn.” “There was no murder in his entire neighborhood, and although police reports showed that the police report showed three people were injured, no one was killed.

Ben Singer recommends Fox News Numbers Pay tribute to the newspaper’s media relations team when asked to comment.

The New York Times said in a statement that the report had nothing to do with Johnson’s family and was not trying to reduce security issues.

“This was a detailed report about his journalistic dishonesty that rejects, with facts, the many falsehoods he continues to share seemingly to promote the president’s federalization of Washington’s law enforcement. These falsehoods include the claim that a lethal shooting happened on his block, which is disputed by police records, and that his own home ‘was burned to the ground,’ which is disputed by the video showing the door of an adjoining home as smoke billows from the property,” a Times spokesperson told Fox News Numbers.

Johnson moved to Florida after the fire, and he said the next step is up to his attorney.

“But, morally, it’s shameful,” Johnson said. “I’m fighting for decency here.”
