Fishback, James - Gov. candidate

Date: 
Sunday, July 26, 2026
Summary: 
Just because a candidate wants to close all abortion clinics doesn't make him qualified to be Governor.  In addition, where was he during the amendment 4 debates and working to help us prevent the abortion amendment from passing?  Anyone who is 'so pro-life' had an opportunity to be heard during that campaign!!  
 
 Based on the public record I was able to retrieve, there are three core, well-substantiated clusters of statements in which Fishback either explicitly says he would shoot someone or endorses shooting a hypothetical attacker. The strongest and most verifiable cluster came on February 10, 2026, after he claimed someone had tried to burn down his home: in the text accompanying his official post, he wrote, “We will shoot you dead,” and in the associated video he said, in substance, “We’re going to shoot you with an AR-15” if someone attacked campaign staff or volunteers.

 This is what I heard on the radio A second cluster came after Florida “teen takeover” incidents, when he said his team would show up with “a dozen AR-15s” if another event occurred.

A third came in a campaign gun-rights clip in which he answered a hypothetical question about an angry would-be attacker by saying he supports the right to buy a gun immediately and “shoot him dead.” These statements are supported primarily by Fishback’s own X, Instagram, and campaign-linked Facebook posts, reinforced by local-news and profile reporting.
