GOP Candidate Says FBI Agents Would Be Put In 'Body Bag' If His Home Were Searched
Despite the controversy blowing up over the video Saturday, Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde defended his remarks.

"A Florida Republican candidate for Congress threatened that FBI agents would go “home in a body bag” if they ever try to search his house the way they did Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. In a shocking video he posted to YouTube on Saturday, Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde said, “I wish they’d turn up at my home ’cause they’d have gone home in a body bag.” “When they turned up at Mar-a-Lago and raided the home of President Trump, that was an assault on every one of the 75 million people who voted for Donald Trump. It was an assault on democracy,” Hyde baselessly claimed.
Hyde is running against eight-term GOP Rep. Vern Buchanan in a primary Tuesday to represent Sarasota in Congress. Despite the controversy blowing up over the video Saturday, Hyde defended it. The video is deliberately provocative and appears to be a “long-shot effort” to revive Hyde’s campaign, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. “Did you even consider I might be using hyperbole and rhetoric because I know how susceptible you are to it?” Hyde asked the newspaper.
So.....if the FBI shows up at your door -- will you be brave enough to send them home in bodybags? And why just limit it to the FBI? What if the local cops show up at your house...and they tell you they have a warrant to search your house -- shouldn't you be able to send them home in bodybags too?? Or is it only fun to say this about federal cops??
But the main question is.....Isn't it strange that threatening to kill FBI agents is considered popular among Conservative voters?? It must be for a GOP candidate to believe doing so will revive his failing campaign --- as long as he can claim he is being hyperbolic for attention..and the fun part is -- when another right-wing nutcase tries to murder a federal employee because they stupidly buy into the rhetoric of idiots like Martin Hyde -- he can turn around and claim he was just kidding and blame it on BLM, or Democrats, or transgender people, anyone else but himself....because of personal responsibility and such....
