At a televised candidate forum, Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in eastern Indiana, said she would “fire all Republicans” if elected and criticized Republicans she described as MAGA supporters. Asked for a closing message to voters, she said, “We have guns too.”
West also alleged that a sheriff’s nephew had threatened to kill her. Fayette County Sheriff Zac Jones told Fox News Digital that he did not know West and has no nephews. The source does not identify which sheriff West meant or provide independent confirmation of the alleged threat.
West’s remarks drew criticism from conservative commentators, who questioned her manner of speaking and speculated about her condition. The source provides no evidence establishing that she was intoxicated or had a medical condition. West was not immediately available for comment, according to the report.
West is running against Republican Gary Keener Jr. for the local council seat. The forum’s date is not specified in the supplied material.
