Marine Corps Rebukes Florida Candidate Who Said Trump ‘Must Be Killed’
The Marine Corps said William Upham’s remarks violate his oath as Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao also called the comments unacceptable.
- On Tuesday, the Marine Corps renounced Florida write-in candidate William Upham after he posted a video claiming President Donald Trump "must be killed."
- In a 6-minute video posted earlier this week, Upham, medically discharged on May 30, 2025, claimed Trump is the "Antichrist" and an "enemy of God."
- Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao condemned the comments as "unacceptable," stating that Upham no longer represents the Marine Corps' values or ethos.
- Federal law mandates that threatening the president is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
- Upham is running as a write-in candidate in Florida's 5th Congressional District against Rep. John Rutherford, amid broader national concerns over political violence.
