Elliot Forhan, a Democrat candidate for Ohio attorney general, said he’s “going to kill Donald Trump” through capital punishment.

“I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said.

“I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment,” he continued.

“That is what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” he added.

Forhan announced his campaign for attorney general in February 2025. He previously served one term in the Ohio House of Representatives where he was stripped from his committee assignments and lost access to his office due to reported altercations with colleagues.

“Elliot Forhan (D), Candidate for Ohio AG, is a radical, far-left extremist who said he’s going to ‘kiII Donald Trump’ and is obsessed with abolishing ICE for arresting foreign t*rrorists and r*pists,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

“I’m calling on @amyactonoh to renounce Democrat candidate AG Elliot Forhan’s VILE comment that he’s going to ‘kill Donald Trump.’ (months after celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination) Turn down the rhetoric,” said Keith Faber, a Republican candidate for Ohio attorney general.

The Post Millennial shared further:

Forhan has made controversial public statements in the past, including a Facebook post attacking Charlie Kirk in the days following Kirk’s assassination. Five days after Kirk was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University, Forhan wrote a post reading “F*** Charlie Kirk,” later defending the language as intentional.

“I chose my words carefully, and I chose them to communicate my message forcefully,” Forhan said at the time, arguing that his post was aimed at what he described as efforts to “sanitize” Kirk’s legacy and punish workers who criticized him online. When asked whether the post reflected good manners, Forhan responded, “The truth is more important.”

Forhan later edited the post multiple times, eventually adding the line “Violence is wrong,” and said he made the changes after feedback from a fellow Democrat. On the day of Kirk’s killing, Forhan had posted a separate message on another platform stating, “Violence is wrong. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of Charlie Kirk.”
