Victor Marx, the leading Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, sparked controversy during a recent interview when he refused to disclose how many people he has killed, retorting with the question, 'Does it matter?' This exchange, which aired on 9News, was part of a longer interview with reporter Kyle Clark. Marx, who has cultivated a tough-guy image and claims to have killed a man at age 7, has also spoken about other killings linked to his work as a 'high risk missionary.' However, Clark pointed out that Marx's military background does not include combat experience, raising doubts about the veracity of his claims. The interview has led to speculation regarding the authenticity of Marx's self-styled 'Dangerous Gentleman' persona, which is also the title of his book.
