Christian ministry leader Victor Marx, who is running as a Republican candidate for Governor of Colorado, claimed on 9 News his abusive step-father forced him to kill a man at age 7, and added that people “possibly” died at his hands as an adult. Marx claims to be “pro-life,” notes the Colorado Times Reporter.
Victor Marx claims to have been forced to kill a man at age 7. And he talks about the necessity of killing people in the course of his "high-risk missionary" work. So I asked him how many people he's killed on his missions.

Marx was also asked about how many women and children he has allegedly rescued from abuse after his campaign website removed a false claim that he’s rescued more than 45,000 women and children.
