一名在印第安纳州东部竞选县议会席位的民主党人周二遭到嘲讽，批评者称她在电视直播的候选人论坛上看起来“酩酊大醉”，在攻击共和党人时口齿不清。
在论坛上，费耶特县议会候选人杰米·韦斯特表示，如果当选，她会“解雇所有共和党人”，痛斥被她称为“种族主义者”且“愚蠢”的“MAGA支持者”，还声称一名警长的侄子曾威胁要杀了她。当被要求向选民发表最终寄语时，韦斯特回应道：“我们也有枪。”
“这不是一场闹剧，”由评论员查亚·赖奇克运营的热门保守派评论账号LibsOfTikTok写道。
“印第安纳州费耶特县议会民主党候选人杰米·韦斯特接受了一场令人尴尬的采访，全程似乎都在含糊不清地胡言乱语。她是不是喝醉了？”赖奇克在X平台上问道。

前诉讼律师维瓦·弗赖伊发推文称，这段视频最初看起来像是一场“闹剧[或]高中视频作业”。
“我得确认她是否有神经系统疾病，这或许能解释她口齿不清和疯狂胡言乱语的情况。但她没有。即便她被诊断出患有神经系统疾病，在谈到要解雇所有共和党人之后说出‘我们也有枪’，通常也足以让她失去竞选资格，”弗赖伊说道。
当被问及如果当选，她会做出哪一项选民会不满的决定时，韦斯特告诉主持人：“解雇所有共和党人。”
“我不会让他们——我甚至都不和他们说话。我不喜欢他们。他们投票反对——他们自己的州议员违背了本党立场，”韦斯特继续说道，同时还承诺不会加税。

“都是你们逼我们的。……这一切都是你们造成的。ICE（美国移民及海关执法局）进入我们的社区，抢走人们的工作。我的意思是，MAGA分子当面威胁过我好多次；我们会揭发他们，因为确实有一些共和党人明白事理。你们知道的，确实有好的共和党人，但还有那些只是种族主义者、一点都不聪明的MAGA分子，”韦斯特继续说道。
“他们给你起外号。那个警长的侄子威胁要打爆我的头。但，你知道吗，你能怎么办？”

主持人停顿了一下，随后请韦斯特向选民发表最终寄语。
“我们也有枪，”韦斯特说道，此时主持人转而向观众介绍今年如何在该印第安纳州（“胡希尔之州”）进行投票。
目前无法立即联系到韦斯特置评。虽然目前尚不清楚韦斯特所指的是印第安纳州的哪位警长，但她竞选所在的费耶特县警长办公室负责人扎克·琼斯对这番言论感到震惊。
“我不认识杰米·韦斯特，她显然也不认识我。我有五个侄女，一个侄子都没有。我不确定她在说什么，而且我确定她也根本不知道自己在说什么，”琼斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“当民主党能拿出这种人来竞选这个重要的地方公职时，真是可悲的一天。”

Dem candidate’s bizarre anti-MAGA tirade ends with ‘We have guns too’

The Fayette County Council candidate told viewers she would ‘fire all Republicans’ and declared ‘we have guns too’

Indiana county council hopeful Jaime West lashed out at Republicans during a candidate forum before delivering a pointed final message as a moderator moved to wrap up.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democrat running for county council in eastern Indiana was ridiculed Tuesday after critics claimed she appeared “s— faced” and slurred her way through attacks on Republicans during a televised candidate forum.
During the forum, Fayette County Council candidate Jaime West said she would “fire all Republicans” if elected, railed against “MAGAs” she called “racist” and unintelligent and alleged that a sheriff’s nephew had threatened to kill her. Asked for a final message to voters, West responded: “We have guns too.”
“This is not a skit,” said LibsOfTikTok, a popular conservative punditry account run by commentator Chaya Raichik.
“Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in Indiana, gave an embarrassing interview where she appears to mumble and rant the entire time. Is she intoxicated?” Raichik asked on X.

Former litigator Viva Frei tweeted that the video initially appeared to be a “skit [or] high school video project.”
“I had to make sure she did not have a neurological disorder that could account for the slurred speech and insane rambling. She doesn’t. And even if she did have a diagnosed neurological disorder, ‘we have guns too’ after talking about firing all Republicans would ordinarily be disqualifying,” Frei said.
When asked one decision she would make if elected that constituents would find unpopular, West told the moderator, “Fire all Republicans.”
“I wouldn’t let them — I don’t even talk to them. I don’t like them. They voted against — their own state representative voted against her own party,” West continued while also pledging not to raise taxes.

“Y’all did this to us. … You made this happen. This ICE coming into our communities, stealing people’s jobs. I mean, I’ve been threatened so many times to my face by MAGA; we’ll call them, because there’s Republicans who actually get it. You know, there are good Republicans out there, but then there’s these MAGAs who are just racist and aren’t very intelligent at all,” West continued.
“They call you names. The sheriff’s nephew threatened to blow my head off. But, you know, what are you going to do?”

The moderator paused before asking West for a final message to voters.
“We have guns too,” West said as the moderator pivoted to informing viewers about how to vote in the Hoosier State’s elections this year.
West could not immediately be reached for comment. While it was not immediately clear which Indiana sheriff West was referring to, Zac Jones, who leads the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office where she is running, was stunned by the remark.
“I don’t know Jaime West, and she obviously doesn’t know me. I have five nieces and zero nephews. I’m not sure what she is talking about, and I’m certain she has no idea what she is talking about either,” Jones told Fox News Digital.
“It’s a sad day when this is the best the Democrat Party can get to run for this important local office.”
