Don’t be surprised if Democrats elect this violent criminal. It’s a sick party for sick people.
Longshot Democratic candidate charged with terroristic threat after ‘pulling a firearm on two government workers’
By Will Potter, NY Daily News, 31 May 2026
ADVERTISEMENTA longshot Democratic candidate for Congress in Hawaii was arrested after walking into a government building and allegedly threatening officials with a firearm.
Kirill Basin, 40, a candidate for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, allegedly threatened two Maui County workers around 9:30am on Friday, before fleeing and being arrested hours later.
It is unclear why Basin allegedly entered the government building or who he threatened, however police said it followed a string of bizarre behavior from the congressional candidate.
Agtunong’s restraining order was filed at 3pm Friday, around two hours after Basin was arrested for allegedly threatening government workers.
A judge granted Agtunong’s request for a temporary restraining order within two hours of it being filed in court.
ADVERTISEMENTAccording to court records cited by the Honolulu Civil Beat, Basin was also arrested for disorderly conduct on May 2.
On Thursday, Basin filed a lawsuit regarding that earlier arrest against Maui Police Chief John Pelletier and Maui County, alleging that he was wrongfully arrested.
He alleged that authorities subjected him to ‘prolonged and deliberate infliction of physical, sexual and psychological abuse’ while he was detained.
Court records showed Basin filed the lawsuit without an attorney and is representing himself, and he took to his campaign’s Instagram account to announce his action against officials.
‘This is the lawsuit I served today. It basically outlines how 3 police officers tortured me for 14 hours,’ Basin wrote in the Instagram post.
‘That’s the gist. It’ll never happen to anyone again.’
