'In a body bag': Sarasota candidate says he'd kill FBI agents if they tried to search home

[634-5789]

A Sarasota candidate for Congress says he would have killed the FBI agents who searched former President Donald Trump's property if they tried to do the same thing to his home.

"I wish they'd turn up at my home 'cause they'd have gone home in a body bag," Sarasota businessman Martin Hyde says in a new video.

Hyde is a Republican running for Congress against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key. He has been a magnet for controversy, with his campaign imploding after he was caught on camera in February berating a Sarasota police officer and threatening her job during a traffic stop.

2. Tough talk although he would probably be standing outside in his underwear

like Jeffrey Clark.

3. Easy to say when you know the FBI is not going to search your home.

4. I'm sure those FBI agents can take care of themselves.

He's a fool if he thinks he could do what he's claiming.

5. Some advice

You'd do a lot better if you just keep your mouth shut/

6. Guessing if they ever do a search there he's going to be cuffed, sitting in the dirt

In his underwear while they tear his house apart looking for ounce of weed.

Iow, he’ll get the same treatment as everyone else not named #TraitorTrump

7. I think that it is time to red-flag him. He has demonstrated that he may be a threat to himself

or others. They need to go get his guns and let a judge decide whether he can get them back.

Death threats, even conditional death threats, to law enforcement officers should not be ignored.

8. Stupid people...

say things.

9. Just another tough talker

Whose actions won’t match his words.

10. Well somebody might have left in a body bag

Not sure it would be anybody in a FBI jacket, though.

11. I guess that'll learn those FBI agents to mess around with him!

This guy wouldn't last 5 seconds if he pulled a gun on a group of FBI agents who came to his house to implement a search warrant.

12. Smart move. Antagonize, sh*t-talk, threaten and make enemies of the FBI. Smooth.
