West Virginia Leftist Pleads Guilty To Sick Trump-Death Threats

According to the Gateway Pundit, 20-year-old Cody Lee Smith of Clarksburg pleaded guilty to multiple counts involving explicit threats to rape and kill the President and to murder Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Prosecutors detailed how Smiths conduct went far beyond mere online ranting, describing a pattern of targeted, graphic intimidation aimed at chilling political expression and undermining the rule of law.

Court records show that Smith used Instagram as his primary vehicle, posting and sending direct messages laced with violent fantasies and obscene language. In one direct message to Donald Trump Jr., Smith wrote, Im going to rape your worthless father while Benjamin netanyacuck sits in the oval CUCK throne and watches with his jugular cut while the life leaves his pathetic eyes and then after Im done your getting raped.

Smiths online tirades escalated further as he publicly smeared the President and threatened his life in another Instagram post. He declared, Donald j Trump likes little boys and little girls and is an Israeli asset he deserves to be raped and murdered @REALDONALDTRUMP @donaldjtrumpjr I will kill you b[-] a[] dad.

The threats were not limited to the First Family; Smith also targeted ordinary Americans who support the President and those who serve in the U.S. military. He wrote, If I see a single trump supporter I dont care the relation[,] I dont care their age[,] I dont care if they are mentally handicap[,] Im murdering them in front of their entire family[,] same goes to the first war supporter or service member whos willing to bootlick.

Local authorities became aware of Smiths conduct earlier this year when the Harrison County Sheriffs Department flagged his social media posts and a disturbing phone call to federal officials. In addition to his online activity, Smith called the ICE tip line and directly threatened to kill ICE agents in Clarksburg, as well as the tip line operator and the operators family, further demonstrating a calculated hostility toward those enforcing Americas immigration laws.

Smith also posted a message stating, Donald Trump just announced the godd[] hunger games and urged others to IMPEACH THIS MOTHERF[] WITH A .308, pairing the threat with a song titled I Am Going to Kill the President of the United States of America, by the band Leathermouth. Federal prosecutors treated these statements as serious, actionable threats rather than protected political speech, reflecting the clear legal line between dissent and incitement to violence.

According to the Department of Justice, Smith faces up to five years in federal prison for threatening the President and up to 10 years for threats against ICE agents, penalties that underscore the gravity with which the law views attacks on constitutional governance and public safety. The department noted in its press release, This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime, and repel the invasion of illegal immigration.

As President Trumps second administration continues to confront violent rhetoric and intimidation from radical elements, the Smith case highlights the necessity of robust enforcement against those who cross the line from speech into explicit, targeted threats. With Operation Take Back America framed as a broader effort to restore order, defend borders, and protect law-abiding citizens, federal authorities are signaling that politically motivated violencewhether aimed at the President, his supporters, or frontline immigration officerswill be met with decisive legal consequences.
