“Living in a sick world”: Danica Patrick reacts to alleged death threat against Attorney General Pam Bondi

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has shared her reaction to an alleged death threat against Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling it evidence of “a sick world.” Her remarks were made through an Instagram story where she reposted an image first shared by conservative commentator David J. Harris Jr.

Patrick’s Instagram story included the image of a “wanted” poster featuring Pam Bondi with the words

“Reward: $45,000, wanted dead or alive, but preferably dead.”

According to CBS News, a Minnesota man named Tyler Maxon Avalos, 30, was arrested earlier in October for allegedly threatening Pam Bondi in a “murder-for-hire” TikTok video. The video included the same image that Patrick reposted a photo of Bondi with a red sniper dot on her forehead and text calling for her to be killed for a $45,000 reward. The caption read,

“cough cough when they don’t serve us then what?”

The threat was first reported to the FBI on October 9 by a TikTok user in Detroit. Investigators later traced the account to Avalos, who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. According to court records, his account showed connections to anarchist symbols and linked to an “Anarchist FAQ” document. Avalos has a history of violence, including prior convictions for stalking and domestic assault in Minnesota and Florida.

The meeting covered major issues like Ukraine, NATO, and U.S. sanctions against Russia.

During the event, a reporter asked Trump how he would know within minutes if a deal could be reached with Putin. Trump responded confidently, saying,

“Because that’s what I do. I make deals,”

Patrick posted a short video of Trump’s comment on her Instagram story and wrote,

“THE GOAT!!”

Danica Patrick also reflected on Trump’s leadership in a separate post on X. She wrote,

“I remember the saying ‘peace in the Middle East’ as a kid. It was a casual silly (and seemingly impossible) way of saying goodbye, at least in the Midwest where I grew up. Now….. it’s actually real. @realDonaldTrump will go down as the best president we have ever had. Peace through strength.”

Patrick, known for being the first and only woman to win an IndyCar race, the 2008 Indy Japan 300, came to NASCAR in 2012 and competed until 2018. Since retiring from motorsports, Danica Patrick has become an entrepreneur and media personality while also being quite vocal about her political beliefs.
