Dem congressional candidate charged with terrorist threats after pulling gun on government officials (Hawaii)
NY Post ^ | 5/31/26 | Anthony Blair

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.

Basin bizarrely claimed in an Instagram post on Thursday the day before his arrest that cops had tortured him for 14 hours.

“This is the lawsuit I served today. It basically outlines how 3 police officers tortured me for 14 hours,” he wrote. “That’s the gist. It’ll never happen to anyone again.”

The lawsuit accused police of subjecting Basin to “prolonged and deliberate infliction of physical, sexual and psychological abuse” while in custody.

He filed the lawsuit himself and is not being represented by an attorney, court records show.

Basin’s behavior became increasingly erratic in the days before Friday’s incident.

The depth of the democrat’s candidate bench is amazing.

Just when you’ve seen all the nuts, more come out of the wood work.

Has not filed with the FEC, so not really a candidate.

I saw a different young man with that name on New York Post.

HI has strict gun control regulations. How did he get a gun?

The weapon used by Kirill Basin during his arrest on Maui was actually a pellet gun,
which does not require the strict permits or registration of a traditional firearm in Hawaii.
