Columbus, OH – Outrage is erupting across social media and conservative circles as Americans call for the immediate arrest of Democratic Ohio Attorney General candidate Elliot Forhan following a controversial video where he states, “I am going to kill Donald Trump.”
The statement, posted in a social media video, has sparked widespread backlash, with critics labeling it a direct threat against President Donald Trump. Forhan, a former Ohio state representative who was expelled from the legislature in 2023 for alleged harassment and misconduct, is now running for Attorney General. In the video, he clarifies that his intent is to pursue capital punishment against Trump if convicted of serious crimes, such as those related to the January 6 Capitol events or other federal charges.
“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan says in the clip. He explains it as seeking a conviction that could lead to execution under Ohio law, framing it as “justice” rather than a personal threat. However, detractors argue the rhetoric crosses into incitement or threats against a protected figure, demanding intervention from law enforcement.
Social media users and commentators have flooded platforms with demands for Forhan’s arrest, with hashtags like #ArrestForhan and #TrumpThreat trending. “WTF?! Throw him in jail, NOW!” encapsulates the sentiment from many, echoing calls from outlets like Breitbart and The Post Millennial, which first amplified the story.
Forhan’s campaign has defended the remarks as hyperbolic emphasis on accountability, but the controversy adds to his troubled political history. Expelled from the Ohio House for reportedly stalking colleagues and disruptive behavior, Forhan’s bid for AG has already drawn scrutiny.
Law enforcement officials have not commented on potential investigations, but sources indicate the Secret Service may review the statement given Trump’s status. Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 871), threats against the President can carry up to five years in prison.
