If you needed any more evidence that a large element of the Republican Party has completely lost its collective mind, here is Republican Congressional candidate in Florida's 13th district threatening the life of another GOP candidate, Anna Paulina Luna, running in the same race to replace Democrat Charlie Crist, who plans to run for Governor.
I must warn you that the language used by this so-called candidate and self-identified "Patriot", William Braddock, is graphic. He calls his opponent, a member of the same fascist party, a "c---, a piece of s---," among other horrible names.
Braddock, clearly a new Trump-emboldened member of the American Fascist Party (formerly GOP), says that the political threat Luna, in his mind poses, warrants having her killed by his Russian and Ukrainian friends. He says that they will make her disappear and that he will be sent visual evidence of this crime.
I must be clear here. As much as Luna is a victim here of a sociopath running against her, she is not a better option for this seat. Luna is supported by disgraced former President Trump and future registered sex offender U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz.
Braddock also threatens Erin Olszewski, the other person on the call, saying "please do not be associated with this candidate (Luna)" because it will put Olszewski in danger as well and going so far as to say "you have kids." Then he tells her not to say anything to anyone because they will both be in danger.
Braddock who is the epitome of Trump's GOP, claims that the tape was doctored but as you can see in the video, the phone call is running on speaker phone and the time of the call never gets interrupted as it pertains to the relevant parts related to the threats.
This is what I mean when I say that we need to do everything in our power as voters to make sure that people like this never see the inside of the halls of Congress. It was not enough to vote out Trump, but we need to eliminate electorally those people who share his views but come in a much more presentable package like this Braddock fellow.
On the surface, Braddock seems like the type of person who might make a good candidate for Congress. He describes himself as a lawyer, entrepreneur, and former member of the USMC (Marine Corps). They don't all look like Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, but there mentality is the same. If you live in Florida's 13th District, make sure this douche never sniffs Congress.
But it is not only in this district or the ever-increasing disturbing state of Florida, but all around the country that candidates like this are popping up. If you want to be a true PATRIOT, do you civic duty and vote these goons out. The only viable option in America right now is the Democratic Party - even if that means voting for a Progressive because at least they are not storming the U.S. Capitol, plotting to kidnap duly elected governors, or threatening to kill their political opponents with mob hits. There is a sentence I never thought I would have to write related to politics.
