A discharged Marine running for a seat in the House of Representatives in Florida has come under fire for a deranged social media video in which he called President Trump \u201cthe anti-Christ\u201d who \u201cmust be killed.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve reached a turning point in my campaign. Why? I\u2019ve come to the realization that our country is broken. We are led by a president who\u2019s the enemy of God, and President Trump will never bring us together like God intended,\u201d the District 5 write-in candidate said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere 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,\u201d he added, saying the realization came from Trump\u2019s criticism of Pope Leo XIV and the AI image he posted of himself as a Christ-like figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is nothing like Jesus Christ,\u201d Upham said. \u201cPresident Trump is the anti-Christ and he will be killed and sent to hell. God will prevail against evil,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolence should never be used for evil purposes such as vengeance or plunder,\u201d he said in a rapid departure from his call for Trump to be assassinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must defend ourselves against all enemies, including the enemies here at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video was so disturbing that the Marine Corps. publicly disavowed it Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe 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\u2019s values,\u201d the military branch wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Hung Cao, acting secretary of the Navy, also blasted Upham\u2019s unhinged, violent rantings in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination last September, as well as three attempts on President Trump\u2019s life in the last two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnacceptable. William Upham is no longer a Marine and does not represent our values or ethos,\u201d Cao wrote on X.<\/p>\n
