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

Context
Forhan, a former Ohio state representative, was running for Ohio attorney general. The Facebook video has been removed; Lead Stories confirmed it was real, and the Ohio Capital Journal and Fox News quoted it. He stood by it, saying "I broke no law." In September 2025, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, he posted "F*** Charlie Kirk" (Fox News).
