Victor Marx skyrocketed to prominence in the 2026 race for governor in Colorado with endorsements from high-profile Republicans like former GOP nominee Heidi Ganahl and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. His mission work focused on saving children from trafficking and abuse around the world serves as his calling card and credentials in a run for high office. 

However, a quick look under the hood of the campaign reveals a couple of eye-opening videos - one posted to his Instagram account, the other an interview with PBS Hawaii from several years ago - outlining a pair of incredible stories.

In the first, he states he is in possession of a vehicle belonging to a man who tried to kill him and was imprisoned for second-degree murder. In the latter, Marx tells a harrowing tale of his stepfather taking him out to a remote house in the woods, where a young Victor was instructed to shoot a man in the back of the head. Instead, his stepfather puts his index finger over Victor's trigger finger and fires a shot which kills the man. The stepfather then buries the dead man and warns Victor not to tell authorities, or he'll be blamed for the murder based on evidence left at the scene - including a gun with Victor's fingerprints on it.

Ryan breaks down these dramatic accounts, with input from texters as well. If true, these stories certainly make Victor Marx... the most interesting man in the 2026 race.
