Republican Candidate Threatened To Send Ukrainian Hit Squad To Take Out Rival

In recently uncovered audio recordings, a candidate running in a GOP primary for a Florida congressional seat said that he "didn't want to end anybody's life" but that he would do whatever was necessary to win. This included, as he said in the audio, sending a Russian-Ukrainian hit squad to take out his rival. Farron Cousins discusses this truly bizarre and disgusting event.

A Republican that is planning on running in the primary, uh, for the seat being vacated by Charlie Crist in the state of Florida, as he seeks a, another run for governor. Uh, but this Republican was caught on tape

Admitting that he didn't want to kill his opponent, but

Something needs to be done. Something needs to be done. Here's a quote from that audio recording from William Bradick. I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the United States of America. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Politico reported during a 30 minute phone call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate. William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist who not support GOP candidate and a Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa bay area congressional seat, because he had access to assassins seed as being vacated by representative Charlie, Chris, who is running for governor, he continues. Ah, good, God, this is so disgusting. I'm sorry. Um, that would break my heart, but if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is an effing speed bump in the road. She's a dead squirrel. You run over every day. When you leave the neighborhood,

He then suggested that he had

Connections to a quote Russian Ukrainian hit squad. So I guess that's, that's, that's the people he would use to take her.

Um,

Okay. The question I have at this point is this audio is out there. It's available. You can listen to it if you want links in the description of the video. Uh, but here's the thing. How is this person, William, Bradick not in, not in jail yet. How has he not been arrested and indicted? You, you are literally threatening to end another human being's life. Um, and then you kind of lay out how you do it too. So I'm not exactly sure what the authorities are waiting on here, but you you've got the audio evidence. You know what this guy said he was willing to do. And then of course said, uh, Ukrainian hit squad. Like that's premeditated at this point, that's premeditated because you're thinking about it. You're planning it. You, you say, you know, people, you're warning people against voting for this woman and saying, you're going to do what needs to be done.

This man belongs in prison and this is how dirty and disgusting American politics has become. I don't want to lump everybody in, obviously with Mr. Braddock here, but let's face it, this, the level of desperation that some of these candidates hit. And this is by the way, this is just for a Republican primary. Okay. This isn't even for the general where you could actually win the seat. This is just for the chance to win the chance to win the seat. And he's already saying like, well, you know, I mean, I guess of what needs to be done, needs to be done, right? This is, this is pure bonkers. This is an individual who, you know, in my assessment as not a medical professional, but uh, in my assessment, they're not, well, clearly not well clearly dangerous. I mean, he's saying all these things all again on the audio, like there's, there's no denying that you said these things doesn't matter if you were a candidate at the time or not. You were clearly planning on running. This is crazy. This individual needs to be arrested and put in prison for even having these thoughts that this is something they would choose to do if, as he says, the need were to arise.
