You can add a Democrat from Hawaii to the list of catastrophically flawed leftwing candidates from an already insane year.
We’ve got the apostate seminarian running for Texas Senator who denounces Bible reading to children, but is totally cool about them having access to books about anal rape and incest. We’ve got Maine Kamph Nazi tattoo guy who won his race only to be pushed out when his polling was bad and replaced by a guy who married his cousin. We’ve got any number of people who have no problem with Islamism and/or openly identify with the communist worldview.
What do you have to do to stand out in a crowd THAT messed up? How about terror charges?
Meet Kirill Basin, from Hawaii. Here’s the Ballotpedia summary:

The primary will be decided on Saturday. But he is one candidate who is going to have far bigger issues on his mind.
The 40yo candidate found himself in a confrontation with a 61yo man who told him to turn down his tunes on a busy beach in Hawaii is said to have pulled out a knife after picking a fight. In the video he was seen provoking the other guy and threatening to put people in the hospital, or in the ground.
The attached video doesn’t show him holding a knife, but it DOES show the 40yo trying to swing a lawn chair at the 61yo’s head. But, since the 61yo still knocked his sorry ass out, the only thing grabbing a weapon did was open him up to more serious criminal charges.
Libs of TikTok found the clip and shared it for the rest of us to laugh at. It didn’t take long to see that his mouth was writing checks that his fists could not cash.
BREAKING: Hawaii Democrat congressional candidate Kirill Basin ARRESTED for threatening a man with a knife after he was asked to lower the volume of his music at the beach.
He tried fighting but was immediately knocked out 🤣

The kicker is, that this clown is ALREADY facing Terror charges for a previous incident where he pulled a gun on government officials in May.
A Democrat congressional candidate from Hawaii allegedly pulled a gun on officials after storming a government building — swiftly landing him in handcuffs.
Kirill Basin, 40, allegedly threatened two Maui County workers during the terrifying incident at around 9:30 a.m. on Friday before fleeing the building in Wailuku, Civil Beat reported.
The longshot candidate for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District was arrested at his home around 12:30 p.m. on a terrorist threatening in the first degree charge. — NYPost
The real question to grapple with is — after seeing the freak shows and clowns the Dems have been choosing as their primary candidates … does this hurt his chances or help them?
