Florida Politics reports:

A Republican candidate for the House from St. Augustine is banned from Twitter after advocating violence against the federal government. Republican Luis Miguel, running against incumbent Rep. Bobby Payne of Palatka in the redrawn House District 20, was suspended from Twitter after a tweet advocating that Floridians should be able to shoot federal agents on sight.

“Under my plan, all Floridians will be able to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF, and all other federal troops on sight,” Miguel tweeted. “Let freedom ring.” Miguel told Florida Politics Friday the suspension, which is “permanent” per a message he got on his Twitter app, “doesn’t affect (him) at all.” He stands by the proposal, which he says is justified because the IRS has been “weaponized by dissident forces.”

His posts are still live on Instagram, where he also defends the Confederacy and calls himself a “proud Christian Nationalist.”

Miguel first appeared on JMG last summer when he held a rally calling for the release of “political prisoner” Capitol rioters.

In the final clip below, Miguel declares that the next presidential election “will not be decided at the ballot box, but on the battlefield.”
