If the FBI tried to do the same thing to Trump's home, he would kill them.
Martin Hyde said in a new video that he wished they'd come to his home.
Hyde is running against Buchanan in the congressional race. His campaign was thrown into turmoil after he was caught on camera berating a police officer and threatening her job.
A congressional candidate is alleged to have threatened to end a cop's career.
There is a video showing a candidate threatening a police officer.
Hyde paid the qualification fee and stayed in the race. Since Hyde put out the inflammatory video in the closing stretch of the primary, his campaign has gotten a lot of attention.
Trump's Mar-a-Lago property was searched in the video.
"When they raided the home of President Trump, it was an assault on every one of the 75 million people who voted for him," Hyde says in the video. The people stopped at nothing. They would have gone home in a body bag if they turned up at my house.

The video is provocative and seems to be a long shot effort to get attention and revive a campaign that has failed to gain traction. Hyde has tried to challenge the eight-term Buchanan from the right by attacking him on issues such as gun rights, but has raised little money and is a big outsider in the race.
Hyde sent a text to the Herald-Tribune.
The second amendment was created because the FBI started acting like tyrants and they were acting for a politically motivated Department of Justice.
Hyde said that he is being provocative to get attention.
I know how vulnerable you are to hyperbole and rhetoric. "He said that." I don't want to spend money on mailers when you will print my name for free.
Hyde and Buchanan are both running for Congress in District 16 which includes all of the state of Florida.
There are other Florida GOP candidates who have talked about killing FBI agents.
The candidate for state House District 20 was banned from the social networking site after he said that he would allow all Floridians to shoot the FBI. It's time to let freedom ring.
