(20,106 posts)"Victor Marx, who is leading the polls in the states GOP primary, freewheeled through a series of bonkers claims about his past during an interview with local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over the weekend."
"Clark asked Marx about his previous claim that his abusive stepfather forced him to kill a man at age 7. 'Is that the only person youve ever killed?' Clark pressed."
"Marx, 60, fell silent for more than 10 seconds, taking a deep breath and looking upward as if searching his memory."
'Well, I would say, as aas a child, yes. Without question,' he finally replied."
'But Ive been in other situations where, you know, possibly people or persons died as a result of me defending myself in other countries. Itheres no count on that,' he added, before trailing off: 'Theres no photos...' "
"Marx, a Marine Corps veteran, runs a Colorado Springs nonprofit called All Things Possible Ministries, which claims to lead dangerous missions into foreign nations to deliver aid and 'restore victims of trauma.' "

A few highlights from his Wikipedia bio:
In 2023, Marx's brother-in-law, Kenneth Breining, shot at Marx from inside the trailer he was living in on Marx's property. Marx was not hit. Breining was taken to an El Paso County jail and later bonded out. In 2024, Breining was suspected of murdering his girlfriend in Nevada County, California, where he remains in jail.[6][11]
As of May 20, 2026, Marx has around three million followers on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and X.[6] Inspired by Lone Wolf McQuade, Marx has posted social media videos where he disarms people holding dummy firearms.[12]
Marx was reportedly friends with conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk. He has spoken at many Turning Point USA events.[14]

Thought it was a down ballot race.
I remember "when I'm not a witch" didn't go over too well.
"I don't know how many people I've killed" just isn't a winning slogan.
This be interesting to watch.
Looks like CO governor will stay blue.
He will probably join the Trump admin after he loses.
