Exclusive | Ritchie Torres urges Capitol Police to probe baby-faced, anti-Israel social media star who urged support for terror suspect



Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres urged the Capitol Police to investigate alleged threats from a baby-faced anti-Israel activist who urged support for the gunman accused of killing two Israel Embassy staffers in DC.

Guy Christensen, the Keffiyeh wearing 19-year-old from Pennsylvania who uses the handle “YourFavoriteGuy,” posted a three-minute video rant on X May 22 trashing Torres as a tool of the Zionist lobby who backs genocide.

“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,” Christiansen said in the video.

Last week, Christen urged his nearly 1 million online followers to “support’’ 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who is accused of gunning down the two Israeli Embassy diplomats in a rant so vile that TikTok yanked it.

Torres, in a Tuesday letter sent to US Capitol Chief of Police Thomas Manger said, “The phrase `if you’re still alive’ carries a chilling and menacing implication—suggesting that I may be targeted or harmed.

“These words raise serious concerns about whether Mr. Christensen is inciting violence or encouraging others to take action against me.”

Torres called Christensen a “self-proclaimed apologist for violence and terror against anyone who dares to be a Zionist.”

“He has openly defended the cold-blooded murder of a young Jewish couple and has lionized their murderer as a `resistance fighter.’ He has made it crystal clear that he holds no moral objection to violence against Zionists—a category in which I figure prominently,” the Bronx congressman told Manger.

“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.”

The US Capitol Police said they wouldn’t comment on potential investigations.

In his video, Christiansen called Torres as an “AIPAC millionaire” — referring to support from the Israel American Public Affairs Committee and meeting with Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in Israel, who referred to fighting against “human animals” two days after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack against the Jewish State.

Christiansen’s initial TikTok rant supporting Elias Rodriguez has since been wiped off of the platform.

“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 said in closing his blast of Torres.

The Post reached out to Christiansen for comment.
