He was referring to a primary opponent in the race, Anna Paulina Luna, who’s since taken out a restraining order against him.
Everybody stand back and let 2nd amendment solutions work things out. That’s how we do things in this country, right?

Does anyone at this point need further evidence that the Republican party is nothing more than a treasonous tool of Kremlin foreign policy?

Clearly Braddock has not retained the services of the usual florida gop consultants. If he had, instead of death threats, there would be a neophyte 3rd candidate named “Annie Lunha” that no one has heard of yet somehow has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on direct mailers and robocalls. This 3rd candidate won’t do any campaign appearances, but will split off some of Anna Luna’s vote.
Sounds like hyperbole, but that has been standard operating procedure in florida races for the past several years.

Looks like all R politics now has to come with DEATH on the ticket. Part of the platform.
Sir, Sir, just one question: Whom will you kill? I believe our readers haven’t heard yet from you on Who Must Die in your literature and statements.

true>>This is a dirty political tactic that has caused a lot of people a lot of stress and is completely unnecessary,” Braddock said.
satire>>This would have been resolved and the press could have moved onto the next amusing story about Florida Man and his zany antics. But my opponent refused to die, as any decent woman would, to show her devotion to the God of the Old Testament.

“I’m not just blowing smoke here, I’m fucking being dead-ass serious, and it scares the shit out of me too,” Braddock added. “This is even scaring me at this point. But I know what I’m doing is noble and I’m just trying to remain a humble servant of god, and I’ve got a lot of people behind me.”
He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That said, I can’t help but laugh. This is the kind of bullshit these guys pull out of their asses to both impress and intimidate women into getting involved with them. It’s meant to scare the shit out of you while also telling you how big and bad and powerful he is. It’s the most pathetic trick in the book.

The trouble with overlooking the insurrectionists within your party is that they will eventually turn on you.

You left out the part about hiring hookers, billed as ‘lunch’ or ‘educational services’.

Dear God, not the Freemasons!
