Marine Candidate Calls Trump Antichrist | Dayton News

A Florida Republican write-in candidate, former Marine William Upham, sparked national outrage after calling President Trump “the Antichrist” and declaring he “must be killed” in a video wearing his uniform. Citing his oath and biblical passages, Upham framed Trump as a “false messiah” and urged viewers to question their worship of him. The Marine Corps swiftly condemned the remarks as a violation of his oath and confirmed he was medically discharged. The Navy Secretary called the comments unacceptable, while the Secret Service is investigating potential threats to protectees. Upham, running against three other GOP candidates in Florida’s Fifth District, has yet to respond to the backlash.
