"Governor Hopeful’s Dark Confession: A Sinister Number Revealed When Pressed on His Past!"

Added on June 5, 2026 inPolitics

In an election year that seems to have more twists than a soap opera plot, there’s a surprising moment unfolding in the Colorado gubernatorial race. Victor Marx, a Republican candidate, was put on the spot during a recent interview when asked a provocative question about his past—a query about cómo many people he killed during his time in the Marine Corps. Now, if you’re into astrology, let’s just say Mars might be influencing our candidates in unexpected ways, especially with so much fiery energy in play! With the state gearing up for a heated primary against Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer and Representative Scott Bottoms, the stakes couldn’t be higher. As Marx touts his MAGA platform that promises tax cuts and stricter law enforcement, the question remains: how do we reconcile political ambition with the shadows of one’s past? The air was thick with intrigue as Marx took an unusual pause before responding, which only added to the suspense of the moment. So, what did he say, and how might this impact his campaign? Stay tuned! LEARN MORE

A Republican running for governor in Colorado went quiet after being asked how many people he killed while serving in the Marine corps.

Victor Marx is currently facing off against Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer and Representative Scott Bottoms in the Republican primary, with the victor going on to contest the election for the GOP.

Marx is running on a MAGA platform including cutting taxes, reducing restrictions on housebuilding, and hardline stances on crime and law enforcement.

As part of his campaign, Marx sat down with 9News anchor Kyle Clark for an interview to discuss his run for the Colorado governorship.

Marx spoke about his childhood, with Clark then asking him if ‘there’s a part of your life that can’t be scrutinized’ or if it’s ‘all fair game’, to which Marx responded that ‘it’s all fair game’.

Clark then launched into another question, saying: “Your claim that your abusive stepfather forced you to kill a man when you were seven years old, is that the only person you’ve ever killed?”

Marx has previously made this claim about his childhood, though there is no evidence of this alleged incident.

After the question the interview descended into silence for an extended period, with Clark not interrupting while Marx thought about the question.

Eventually, after a silence lasting several seconds, Marx replied: “I would say, as a child, yes, without question, but I’ve been in other situations where, you know, possibly people – or persons – died as a result of me defending myself in other countries.”

He added: “There’s no count on that. There’s no photos.”

Clark pressed further on the subject, asking: “Do you think that you’ve killed people as an adult?”

Marx responded much more quickly this time, asking the news reporter: “Does it matter?”

When Marx then questioned why it matters, Clark pointed that ‘killing somebody is a pretty weighty thing’, regardless of whether or not it’s in an act of self-defence or during military service.

“If I did, I wouldn’t be telling a reporter sitting here in my training center,” Marx replied, and pressed further, he said: “I don’t think that’s important, it’s an odd question to me.”

Marx also recently took to the stage in the primary’s first TV debate, telling the other Republican hopefuls that he was sorry that he decided to ‘step into this race and ruin your next step of being a professional politician’.

Whoever wins the primary will face off against the Democratic nominee in Colorado, where a Republican hasn’t won a statewide office since 2016.

UNILAD has approached representatives of Victor Marx for comment.
