William Upham wore his uniform in the disturbing, nearly seven-minute attack video despite having been medically discharged from the US Marine Corps last May.

“I’ve reached a turning point in my campaign. Why? I’ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who’s the enemy of God, and President Trump will never bring us together like God intended,” the District 5 write-in candidate said.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is the anti-Christ. He is a false Messiah, and he is your enemy, and he must be killed,” he added, saying the realization came from Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV and the AI image he posted of himself as a Christ-like figure.

“He is nothing like Jesus Christ,” Upham said. “President Trump is the anti-Christ and he will be killed and sent to hell. God will prevail against evil,” he concluded.

“Violence should never be used for evil purposes such as vengeance or plunder,” he said in a rapid departure from his call for Trump to be assassinated.

“We must defend ourselves against all enemies, including the enemies here at home.”

The video was so disturbing that the Marine Corps. publicly disavowed it Tuesday night.

“The Marine Corps is aware of the disturbing statements made by William Upham, who was medically discharged on May 30, 2025. The comments made by Upham are a direct violation of the oath he swore to uphold and are not in keeping with the service’s values,” the military branch wrote on X.

Hung Cao, acting secretary of the Navy, also blasted Upham’s unhinged, violent rantings in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination last September, as well as three attempts on President Trump’s life in the last two years.

“Unacceptable. William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos,” Cao wrote on X.
