A Democratic candidate for attorney general in Ohio<\/a> sparked immediate backlash over a Facebook post explaining his plan to “kill Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n

“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Elliot Forhan, Democratic candidate for Ohio attorney general and a former state representative,\u00a0posted on Facebook<\/u><\/a> Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forhan continued, “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.”<\/p>\n

“That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n

WEST VIRGINIA LIBRARIAN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY RECRUITING PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Forhan\u2019s comment quickly sparked strong pushback on social media.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Absolutely psychopath, aka moderate Democrat,” conservative commentator Dave Rubin\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“Democrat candidate for Ohio AG who said he\u2019s going to kiII President Trump also posted this when Charlie was ass*ssinated,” conservative influencer account LibsofTikTok\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “He\u2019s an evil deranged psycho.”<\/p>\n

“People with TDS are a lot like drug addicts,” conservative commentator Robby Starbuck\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “The high of impeachment declarations and jail just don\u2019t give them the same high anymore. Now we have Democrats running on killing the President. This guy belongs in an insane asylum.”<\/p>\n

Some called for Ohio Democrats to disavow Forhan and others highlighted Democratic attorney general Jay Jones being recently elected in Virginia despite calling for the murder of his political opponent.<\/p>\n

‘ASSASSINATION CULTURE’ IS ON THE RISE, ESPECIALLY AMONG WOMEN, STUDY WARNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Democrats, your silence is telling,” Ohio Republican treasurer candidate Jay Edwards\u00a0posted on X<\/u>,<\/a> calling the comment “unhinged.”<\/p>\n

“Dr. Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown\u2014disavow this extremist now, or admit you\u2019re okay with this violent hate in your party.”<\/p>\n

“That is normalizing political murder,” Ohio Republican attorney Mehek Cooke\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “We will never vote for death.”<\/p>\n

Ohio State Auditor Keith Faber, running for attorney general as well, called the post “vile.”<\/p>\n

Faber\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>, “I’m calling on @amyactonoh to renounce Democrat candidate AG Elliot Forhan’s VILE comment that he’s going to \u2018kill Donald Trump.\u2019 (months after celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination). Turn down the rhetoric.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Acton\u2019s campaign for Ohio governor and Brown’s campaign for Senate but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n

Forhan previously\u00a0faced <\/u><\/a>criticism<\/u> <\/a>last year over a social media post where he said “F*** Charlie Kirk” shortly after the conservative activist was murdered on a college campus.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Forhan did not withdraw the comment and said he is running for attorney general to “apply the law equally to everyone” including the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If Donald Trump tries again to end American democracy, then as Ohio attorney general I will hold him accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” Forhan said.<\/p>\n

Forhan continued, “On the other hand, the views expressed by my Republican opponent in a recent op-ed are no more than those of a simple Trump thug. He does not believe in the truth or the rule of law. He asks Ohioans to disbelieve what they saw with their own eyes, that an ICE officer killed Renee Good without justification, shooting her twice in the face after he was clear of her vehicle. Keith Faber wrote, \u2018In Minneapolis, ICE agents were doing their jobs.\u2019 Was the ICE officer who shot Alex Pretti 10 times doing his job? No. ICE is not enforcing the law. They are breaking the law. Mr. Faber is telling Ohioans that, if elected, he will let Trump get away with murder. Ohio voters should take Mr. Faber at his word.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
