David Kappheim Told Girlfriend He Would 'Kill Her' Because She Is Liberal, Florida Police Say

A Florida man "obsessed with Fox News and the Republican party" felt that his girlfriend was too "liberal" -- so he decided he had to kill her.

Police arrested David Kappheim, of Lake Park, on Saturday after the 60-year-old threatened a woman's life because of her supposed political orientation, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The report recounts several incidents in which Kappheim allegedly arrived "stark naked" at the home of his girlfriend's friend, choked his girlfriend and told her that he would "kill her and burn her home," the Palm Beach Post reports.

Kappheim explained to a sheriff’s deputy, “He was very conservative, and his girlfriend was liberal and he felt he was going to have kill her," according to the arrest affidavit, according to WPTV.

They had a lot of mutual interests, but they did squabble when it came to politics. He tried to be respectful and listen to the other side's point of view - sometimes he wasn't that good at it. She was more patient with him than he probably deserved, but she was good at explaining things.

Long story short, these two got married in 2000. That conservative guy was me, now another God-damned liberal.
