Did you know that a Republican candidate for a Florida House seat is advocating for violence against federal agents?
Luis Miguel is a candidate for Florida’s House District 20. Miguel tweeted that under his plan, federal agents could be shot on sight. Miguel also defended his tweet while being interviewed by a website news site, Florida Politics, reportedly telling the interviewer that the IRS has been “weaponized by dissident forces. “ Miguel was apparently making reference to the Democrat Party controlled U.S. Congress that approved a bill hiring 87,000 new IRS agents and also purchasing weapons and ammunition for at least some of these same new agents.
Miguel was quickly suspended by Twitter for his tweet and the tweet removed.
While later being interviewed with NBC News, Miguel stated that, “Under my plan, all Floridians will have permission to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF and other feds on sight. Let freedom ring!”
