New York Democrat congressional candidate Nate McMurray expressed a wish for harm to come to Trump supporters in a post on X over the weekend.
McMurray, who is vying to represent New York’s 26th congressional district, made this controversial statement following the passing of a foreign aid package in the House of Representatives that included significant funds for Ukraine and Israel.
The sight of lawmakers displaying Ukrainian flags on the House floor had incited anger among many conservatives.
After the passage of the “America last” bill, McMurray’s social media post wishing ill upon Trump supporters drew attention and criticism.
“Slava Ukraine. Die MAGA die. You lose,”
Slava Ukraine
Die MAGA die. You lose.

McMurray continued his childish tirade against Trump supporters on Sunday.
“Listen, I’m not trying to antagonize MAGA, but I refuse to let them strong-arm us into silence. Too many Democrats are out there, timid. That’s why the reaction to me is always so strong. Because they’re not used Democrats being bald (sic) in their territory,” McMurray said.
“This MAGA movement preys on folks who are often scared and not the most informed, twisting their legitimate worries into racism, xenophobia, and outright paranoia. You’ve got to call it out, loud and clear to save them from themselves—that’s my mantra. There’s a better way. I make sure they hear it,” he said.

This guy is running for Congress in New York’s 26th District.
He wants all MAGA supporters to die apparently.
That’s a very interesting position, no? https://t.co/qlTM38bcNt

This is a Democrat running for Congress. Democrat politicians are bloodthirsty tyrants now who’ve lost their grip on reality.
Countless young Ukrainians/Russians will die and he’s cheering like it’s a touchdown.
What do you think people like this would be comfortable doing to… https://t.co/L5HNZ1de5P
