Israel-Hating TikTok Influencer Guy Christensen threatens Ritchie Torres' life | WATCH

Yesterday (Tuesday), Bronx Representative Ritchie Torres urged the U.S. Capitol Police to investigate 19-year-old anti-Israel activist Guy Christensen, known online as “YourFavoriteGuy,” for threatening his life in a chilling video posted on X.

The controversy stems from a three-minute video Christensen posted on X on May 22, 2025, in which he viciously attacked Torres, a staunch supporter of Israel, labeling him a “tool of the Zionist lobby who backs genocide” and an “AIPAC millionaire” due to his support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

In a particularly menacing statement, Christensen warned, “Now, Ritchie, screenshots are forever, and what you’ve said and done will haunt your family for eternity, as you will eventually, if you’re still alive, end up in a Nuremberg trial.”

Torres, in a letter to U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger yesterday (Tuesday) highlighted the phrase “if you’re still alive” as carrying “a chilling and menacing implication, suggesting that I may be targeted or harmed.” He added, “These words raise serious concerns about whether Mr. Christensen is inciting violence or encouraging others to take action against me.”

Christensen’s video also referenced Torres’s meeting with former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who, two days after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack that killed approximately 1,200 people, referred to fighting “human animals.” Christensen used this to paint Torres as complicit in war crimes, closing his rant with, “Ritchie is going to keep on meeting … Zionist officials who are wanted for war crimes. So, shame on Ritchie. He is a Zionist scumbag. And I hope the money he sleeps on at night his pajamas blood red. Thank you and free Palestine.”

Christensen’s support for Rodriguez, the suspect in the May 21, 2025, shooting of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, outside the Capital Jewish Museum, furthers the gravity of his actions. Rodriguez, charged with two counts of first-degree murder, murder of foreign officials, and firearms offenses, allegedly shouted “Free, free Palestine” and “I did it for Gaza” during his arrest.

In a now-deleted TikTok video, Christensen urged his nearly one million followers to “support Elias’ actions,” calling Rodriguez a “resistance fighter” rather than a terrorist and claiming, “Israel has livestreamed a genocide to the entire world the last two years.”

He later told The Post, “I do not condemn the elimination of those two Zionist officials who worked at the Israeli Embassy last night,” and insisted Rodriguez was “not a criminal,” arguing that media coverage should focus on Palestinian deaths instead.

Torres has faced harassment for his pro-Israel stance, including activists leaving a bloody baby doll outside his office and telling his mother she “should have aborted” him. He emphasized the rising threats against public officials. “Given the sharp rise in threats against Members of Congress and other public officials in recent years, I am compelled to treat this matter with the utmost seriousness and to err on the side of caution,” he wrote to Manger.

The Capitol Police have not commented on potential investigations.
