Update: Martin Hyde has since told Fox News he is still running.
Sarasota congressional candidate Martin Hyde appears to have ended his campaign against U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan. The move comes after Hyde received national media attention — and scorn — over a police body cam video of his actions at a traffic stop.
In a letter published by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Hyde apologized for his behavior. But he also made clear he will not be pursuing a seat in the U.S. House at this point.
“I am sorry because in a democracy without congressional term limits, I have taken away the opportunity for people to make changes in a stagnant system that rewards incumbency over innovation and true local representation,” he wrote.
“I was prepared to use my limited resources to mount a congressional campaign based on equity as opposed to elitism — which is the irony of the manner of my demise.”
Further confirming that Hyde would be dropping out of the race is a quote Hyde’s consultant, the notorious Roger Stone, gave to the Herald-Tribune.
“I got a message indirectly from him last night that he had decided to withdraw his candidacy,” said Stone.
Hyde was stopped on Feb. 14 for speeding by Sarasota Police Officer Julia Beskin, and news spread quickly based on her ticket mentioning his behavior.
Florida Politics and other outlets later obtained official body cam footage, and the story drew attention. Since then, Hyde has been flooded with emails, messages, and voicemails berating him.
A two-time Sarasota City Commission candidate, Hyde had previously picked up endorsements from the local Police Benevolent Association. But the image of him berating an officer incited heavy criticism from supporters of police.
The story picked up coverage in national outlets including HuffPost and Newsweek.
Hyde would not comment to Florida Politics following the release of footage. His long-standing Facebook page “Martin Hyde Sarasota Citizen” was taken out of public view on Thursday. Asked at the time if that signaled news about his campaign, he emailed, “You’ll just have to wait and see.”
News broke Friday morning, not in a news article but in a letter published by the Herald-Tribune.
The signature line at the bottom of the piece read: “Martin Hyde is a Sarasota businessman and a former Republican Party candidate for Florida’s 16th Congressional District.”
Hyde later emailed stating: “I remain the only official spokesperson for Martin Hyde or my campaign. If I feel there is something worthy of making a statement about I will do so. For now nothing is official.”
Hyde had largely self-funded his campaign for Congress against Buchanan, an eight-term incumbent Republican. The candidate had loaned his campaign $164,000, and spent much of it on consulting with former Donald Trump associate Stone.
Trump ultimately endorsed Buchanan.
For the moment, Hyde’s federal campaign accounts remain open and his official campaign website remains live.
Of note, he has backtracked from reactions to controversy before.
During his last run for City Commission, Hyde suggested he would drop out of the race after a video went viral showing him berating Puerto Rican teens at the Bath & Racquet Club in Sarasota. He ultimately decided to continue his campaign, which he lost in 2019 to incumbent Commissioner Liz Alpert.

I watched the entire video, nearly 20 minutes of it, and I was disgusted by his behavior. He was obstinate, combative, dismissive, insulting, threatening, and showed every bit of elitism as he dropped names, talked about his luxury car and how the money didn’t bother him about the tickets, along with threats to end the 7 year veterans job. I can still hear him saying, ‘…7 years won’t get to 8.’ He said it multiple times; to her, to the supervisor, on the phone and just rambling. He is a buffoon, and this incident along with his incident with the teens shows he has no temperament for public office. That poor police officer was so professional. She absolutely did not deserve the treatment she got. She was just doing her job, and told him so repeatedly, politely & professionally. She was magnificent! He needs anger management counseling, and he needs to just go away. I’m so glad he was exposed for the jerk he is before he got into Congress. Good riddance!
P.William
February 25, 2022 at 1:29 pm
Oh, and he lied about how the entire incident played out. He was in the wrong, not the female police officer, he wasn’t cooperating, he wasn’t being respectful. He said all this about her, when it was he who exhibited all these behaviors. So on top of everything else he is a liar. We don’t need anymore liars in the halls of Congress. They got that covered all over D.C.

Exactly! This is a perfect picture of Narcissism, accuse the other person of doing what you are in fact doing so that other person pays the penalty for what you did. He accused her of being on a power trip, lying and harrassing him. He claimed he was a victim of abuse of power. This was beyond “rude”, he was trying to destroy her life through lies.

It’s called ”gaslighting.”
Quang
March 2, 2022 at 6:12 pm
It’s called being a liar. “gaslighting” is not even a real word. Just a buzzword, too long and too many syllables to describe someone who is simply a liar. I don’t understand why people think they sound so cool when they use this made up word.
Ben
March 3, 2022 at 1:22 am
For some dumb reason I can’t reply to Quang but I can to Vivee. This is meant for Quang though.
You know, words have meaning. Liar is a generic term for someone who tells a falsehood. Gaslighting is a specific psychological attack, not just merely lying. If I call in sick when I’m not, I’m not gaslighting my employer lol. If you’re not capable of discerning the nuances of English, it’s OK. Not everyone is mentally astute enough. You can just use liar, not any scary big words like gaslighting, whatever makes you feel secure 😉
Graeme Mills

You are correct. It IS called gaslighting. Don’t listen to this person who says it’s not even a real word.
Roberto
March 3, 2022 at 8:37 pm
I’m with more with Quang than Ben. Martin Hyde is just a bully and a liar. I doubt he ever thought he could make the policewoman question the validity of her own thoughts and perception of reality leading to cofusion and uncertainty of one’s mental stability, which is what gaslighting entails. And even if he was, it would only be an attempt at gaslighting, as she was clearly having none of it. Lately the word has been sorely overused and misused.
Ben
March 7, 2022 at 1:40 pm
Auugh, this site’s reply system is horrid lol.
Roberto, my position isn’t that the guy WAS gaslighting the cop. Just that it’s silly to say that there is no such thing as “gaslighting” and it’s all just “liars”.

He flat out lied about the vehicle registration!! She asked him directly if he was going to give her the registration and he said “NO”! She wrote the ticket and then magically he found his registration. It was EXPIRED! So, no, he DID NOT have his VALID registration at any point in the interaction! The ticket stands! Abusing women and “non-white people” is absolutely disgusting. Does his immigration status count for nothing? I’d say send HIM back wherever HE came from but they wouldn’t take him!! Why does it not surprise me that he’s a twat-grabbing Trump supporter!

Trump has failed to endorse numerous GOP candidates in the past, and yet they still can’t stop kissing his ass. Considering his “consultant” is known criminal Roger Stone, I would suspect that Mr. Hyde will now take the tact that he needs to start kissing the Orange Con Man’s ass even harder.

I watched the whole video too, and I was shocked at Martin Hyde and his attitude and behaviour. He not only made false accusations about Police Officer Julia Beskin, he attacked her unrighteously, tried to defend a crime he committed, and then claimed there are shootings based on her, yet she was so professional and respectful and a true representation of a Police Officer. I am so happy Martin and his inflated unrighteous ego was exposed before he could get more power to bully and destroy more people. Thank goodness for video camera proof.

I watched the entire video. I was appalled by his behavior. He disparaged this police officer who, while he continually berated her during the entire traffic stop, was able to maintain her composure and treat him respectfully. There is no way this gentleman should receive a single vote in his electoral contest.
Felwin Silverman
February 27, 2022 at 3:43 pm
Oh he doesn’t huh Mr. Coady? How about on the campaign trail where he mouthed off to a worker and a voter, saying, “I don’t work for you.” What exactly would you call that? “C’mon man!” Biden and his son are the worst sort of elitist scum who won’t take responsibility for their wrongs, and people like you who won’t acknowledge his despicable behavior and incompetency and who either are liars yourselves or just believe all the lies being told by the left are pushing this country closer and closer to a cliff and are supporting the downfall of our country by being brainwashed yes men to whatever your party decides should be presented as the truth, concocted out of whole cloth.

I don’t know why praising Biden is as bad as praising Trump.. Biden’s, who wasn’t my first pick, has done a better job than Trump.. I actually wish there was a younger candidate that was available to vote for that would have stood a better chance at winning the 2020 election, but between the two, Biden’s WAY better than Trump. despite his flaws. If you look at all of the current investigations and court cases against Trump, which he does appear guilty (even the two impeachments) I don’t know why a single person would support Trump. He’s been a liar, a crook, and a pathetically bad pick for any Government office and I didn’t have to have ANY MSM tell me that. I knew back in the 80’s he was a BS artist.. How come you couldn’t tell?

I didn’t find her sergeant to be very supportive either. Yelling at her to stay in her car while Mr.Hyde was allowed to stand outside of his and walk around. You could tell he wanted to me a lot more chummy with the Sarge but realized they would be recorded. The sergent should be reprimanded.

That’s exactly what I thought!. The cop was so deferential to this asswipe I was afraid Hyde would get away with it. Especially after the cop muted his mike! That’s how I ended up on this site, looking to see the resolution of the stop. Was thrilled to see he might have given up on his congressional race. Thank God for public information. As far as all the Republican/Democratic bs, I’ve no doubt he was just as much of a ahole when he live in the UK.

The officer who responded should have
explained to this ranting idiot that he I can’t take sides instead of kissing up to this man who apparently has some unofficial relationship with the police. He should have told the man that he needs to view the video and see exactly what happened. The sergeant was also unnecessarily rude to the capable traffic officer just doing her job. Thank god for video as Hyde lied repeatedly about the whole interaction.

Well, here are two tidbits for entertainment purposes…..
Go back to the video, he raged and spewed his venom all the whole, his zipper on his pants was at half mast. After not getting his cop friend to shut off his camera – and when he was done with his temper tantrum – he hopped in his “luxury” car and then pulled a u-turn in front of the two officers (supervisor and buddy) as he blazed away from the scene. I hope he gets mailed a ticket for that one as it is evidenced on police body cam.

What also about when he commented stating her “Does your Russian imigrant status make you treat people like this”
Clearly this man is an abuser an overprivileged elitist narcissistic prick who thinks he is above the law and ultimately; a complete and utter nazi. White Supremacy at its best. I feel sorry for his family; his wife (if he has one) and his children, those who have to witness this abuse.
Great job by the police officer. Like many here have said, it’s clear that he was on a power trip, not the other way round. This is exactly the sort of s**t that England is known for, unwarrented racist remarks and sheer ignorance.
This was quite simply, racism at its best. F*** this guy.

I would honour Police Officer Julia Beskin, as she enforced the law no matter who you are!

I would have had his ample ass on the ground with cuffs on him, then beat his ass good and proper, that’s the only language dickheads like that understand. If his old man had put a boot in his ass when he was acting up when he was 10, he wouldn’t behave like this now.

That’s nonsense. Republicans aren’t supporting Putin.
There are some people who think we shouldn’t get involved. I disagree, but thinking we should stay out of their conflict is pretty much the OPPOSITE of throwing support behind either side.
The press is using edited versions (what else is new) of what Trump said to imply he is supporting Putin – just because Trump acknowledged that Putin is smart and did what he needed to do to achieve his goals. The press left off the part where Trump condemned those goals!
As I pointed out on another thread. Sioux warriors who were at Little Big Horn expressed admiration for Custer’s courage and fierceness in battle. Pretty sure they weren’t supporting his actions!

Not only from the piece of work, but whoever the supervisor with the PD acted to the office was way out of line also. I have been around law enforcement and EMS for for about 30 years and have never seen that approach to an officer doing their job. He was way out of line also and immediately took the crackheads side. He could have just as easily walked up to her squad and just said head on back and we will talk about this there.
Also, could not see the texting, but i wonder why his pants were unzipped the entire time he was out of his car. Hyde not the PD Supervisor.

As an Englishman, I am highly embarrassed by Hyde’s behavior. The fact that he, an immigrant, berated a fellow immigrant about how she conducted herself (which may I say was highly professional and a credit to her station) was nauseating to listen to.
There’s probably an underlying reason why he left England, as we are such a small island he quite possibly had upset too many people and had to get the hell out of Dodge! BTW, we don’t want him back he’s your problem now, (chuckles) and with regard to him being a pro footballer, he was garbage.

Shilts
March 1, 2022 at 5:12 pm
He was a 16 and 17 year old apprentice at Brighton, that means he couldn’t have signed a professional contract there. Apprentices don’t move between clubs (unless they are they are at some outstanding level and Manchester Utd or Liverpool wanted them).
My guess is that Hyde was released by Brighton and ran back to mummy and daddy in South London – that would mean the Southampton claim is complete bollocks. This seems likely as I can find no reference to Hyde EVER having been on the books at Southampton. BTW Southampton’s goalkeeper in 1983-84 (when Hyde claims to have been playing there) was Peter Shilton and he played every minute of every game that season!
Hyde turns up at the amateur Carlshalton Athletic in September 1984. Carlshalton is just down the road from mummy and daddy’s home.
A ‘professional footballer’ (goalkeeper, no less) dropping from the team that riding high in the old First Division to Carlshalton Athletic in the Isthmian Legue, is a ridiculous claim. Players that have been found guilty of henious crimes involving deaths by dangerous driving, rape and drug offences haven’t fallen that far down the football pyramid,
I call bullshit, Mr Hyde.

Thank God for the video. Without it, this disgusting, entitled cronyism elitist gets everything dismissed and the officer is probably written up. This situation should be used as a training opportunity for everyone involved, other than the officer issuing the citations, as she should be commended for her bravery. It makes me sick to think how many entitled politicians skate on traffic charges because they play the “Do you know who I am” card and a weak LEO caves under the pressure. The best outcome of this is the fact Mr. Hyde is no longer seeking office, and can work on finding and allowing the Dr. Jekyll side of his split personality to become more prevalent.

Thank goodness for video technology. Otherwise everyone would have believed his distorted explanation. That police officer did a fantastic job, without being rattled by the bully. Think about all the recent in incidents, primarily shootings, that were sorted out by videos that set the records straight.

im wondering how using a political status to get out of a ticket NOT against the law, seems it would fall under bribery or something similar. But i guess you have to protect yourself and not make laws to incriminate themselves but to incriminate others.

My friend showed me the video of the interaction with the Officer. I never heard of Hyde before so I didn’t know if he was a Republican or Democrat. I did tell my friend that whatever party he’s affiliated with should throw him out! The part of him showing “HYDE 2022” on his phone was suppose to influence the officer evidently!

Contrast the cops actions to cop that pulled his gun, pointed it several times at the woman (Jenice Hodge), threatening to rip her out of the car then tackled her at the end. This guy reaching all inside his car, gets out approaches officer etc. The cop that attacks Jenice claimed he saw a carry permit & got scared. Total BS.

When she had her door open, and was telling him to get back in the car AGAIN (or at least on the sidewalk) and he kept walking around, I immediately thought to myself “Hey asshole, that’s how people get shot! “(who knew if he packing?). He certainly wasn’t acting all that resonable. Also, notice the sgt never told him to get his ass out of the street and made it a point to call him Martin, as if they were buds.

Actually, Mr. Hyde is a well-known far right Republican here in Sarasot who has run for local office before. Now he’s running for Congress (til he apparently sorta dropped out) and note that. Roger Stone has been his key consultant lately. ROGER STONE. Nothing RINO here. Mr. Hyde was actually AT the Jan. 6 insurrection and called VP Pence a traitor. So, no, he’s always been on the right fringe of the fringe of the GOP.

Is it any wonder that his agent is. Roger Stone? I hope Americans memory does not fade in case this man should ever run again for public office. You are a pompous a – – and you are not about what this country is trying to achieve. I have dear friends across the Pond and they too would be ashamed to claim you as one of theirs.

As a citizen who lost their wife at age 21 a year after being married because an individual decided to use a mobile communication while driving I have no mercy for you actions. An apology is not enough and your money and reputation means nothing. you feel your better then others and in no way does this show leadership. You don’t care for the safety of your own community and showed no remorse. Even the officer stayed rational and calm, yet you continued to argue your innocents instead of owning up to your mistakes. I would like your head on my door step by midnight or I will have my team retrieve it for me. The only consequence a man like you can face is true reality and fear. Till then you are the lowest of low and use power to manipulate and cause evil. If you take your life you are nothing and show even more discuss then your apology. As a veteran of the United States of America I will stop at nothing to prosecute an unfaithful and evil threat to my community. Unfortunately relying on my local district attorneys office to execute a proper consequence would not make me feel safe sleeping tonight. I have made myself clear, DO NOT disappoint me.

Not for nothing, but Hyde already said he was ending his campaign back in 2019, after an altercation with a young man from Puerto Rico at his tennis club (Hyde was actually then barred from the club by the manager). And his website is still up and running – the man is obviously not going anywhere. I haven’t seen any suspension of his campaign – he’s just hoping people forget and check the “R” box on their ballots. Gross. Against elitism..as if.

Fair play to the female cop, who kept her calm throughout the ordeal she faced from this knob, she deserves a promotion. We need more people like her in this world. Hopefully she does make a career change and becomes a politician, I’m sure she’d get more votes than this arrogant imbecile.

Sarasota and the Republican party dodged a major black eye by this guy getting pulled over. The officer who cited this trash should get accommodations from the State of Florida for exposing him for what he is a lying Richard. I would not be surprised if he was a leftist RINO plant masquerading as A GOP to cast a liberal vote on a crucial issue and rob the GOP of a political victory, like others before. I am glad the video made it to UTUBE so his mug is seen everywhere and he never has a chance to run for any office.
Again, thank you officer for your professionalism and standing tall and stong to this pompous, sanctamonious egotistical PIG. GREAT JOB!

Martin Hyde deserves t lose all credit and any hopes of ever being elected in a public post again. He showed himself to be an egotist and a bully who believes he is entitled to different treatment than others due to his “position”. The female officer was outstanding in her composure, even whilst being threatened with her job etc. If Hyde manages to survive this then there is nothing that will save US politics.

I understand Hyde has boasted that he was formerly a professional footballer. It is claimed he played for Brighton and Hove Albion from 1982 to 1983 and for Southhampton F.C. from 1983 to 1984.
UK company records show Hyde was born in October 1965, so when he was supposedly a ‘professional footballer’ at Brighton and Hove Albion for the start of the 1982-3 season he was 16.
Records show Hyde was an Apprentice Footballer who played a handful of youth and second team games. He NEVER played for the first team. Hyde was NOT a on a professional contract, so he was NOT a professional footballer for Brighton and Hove Albion.
As for the Southampton FC claim, I can find no reference to him EVER having ANY association with this football club. A move from Brighton and Hove Albion to Southampton FC would have been a step up for Hyde as Brighton and Hove Albion was relegated to the second tier at the end of the 1982-3 season, but I can see no reason why Southampton would have signed an apprentice who had managed just a handful of seond team games. Hyde’s name doesn’t appear in any lists of player transfers (these include players that have switched teams with no fees payable).
He is also not included in any of the lists of Southampton FC players (this includes players who have played just one match for the first team).
I have found a newspaper reference to a Martin Hyde playing as goalkeeper for the AMATEUR team Carshalton Athletic in September 1984. A move from Southampton FC to Carshalton Athletic would represent a massive fall from grace and is hilariously improbable (it is a drop from a tier 1 team to a tier 7 one – a fall from a team that had finished 2nd in the county to one that finished 134th).
I don’t think Hyde was ever a professional footballer. That he boasts of his ‘football career’ (a couple of second team games 40 years ago) says a lot about this guy’s character.

Watching you people makes my intelligence go down the drain.
Instead of viewing every politician as a whole, you just see “Republican” or “Democrat”.
It is no wonder your country is eating so much shit. You basically have no unity anymore.
You the people of America are being used by power-hungry psychopaths, and you defend them!
Do you think Hyde was bad? This is how every politician with enough power acts! They do this all the time, in the shadows where they think nobody is looking.
You should judge every politician as a whole, Party means nothing. Political opinions can be different.
Personally I think your country was doomed the moment you decided that you have to be a “Democrat” or “Republican”. You should have maybe 10 political parties.
That is democracy. Instead, you have deluded yourselves into believing that having just two choices is a choice at all.
I wish I could live in America for a while, just so that I could try to raise awareness towards this issue. Sadly that is not easy.
Anyway, good a crook got caught, but you are still stuck with the ones that got through the net. Which I believe to be the greater majority.
Until you Americans do something about this yourself, your country will just continiue to decline.

Oh sod off Martin Hyde. You’re only sorry because the video got out and people are berating you. I saw the video and also read your pathetic post. Even in all this mess, you’re only writing one simple sorry for the officer and the rest is just lip service to garner more sympathy and praise for yourself. How much more pathetic can you get? How about going into detail about WHAT you’re sorry for.
You said you were verbally aggressive. Mate, that’s putting it lightly, isn’t it? You were being a complete bully. That’s what you should have been sorry for if you are even half human. Hope you pay for the counselling sessions to that officer, as many would have been broken to bullies like you halfway through the video.
Your post said you should have stopped after asking the question “do you know who I am?” and practiced some humility, but what the video shows is that even if you did, it would have been fake and insincere as obviously your true colours are about treating people beneath you – people you were supposed to be serving.
Hope a little person such as yourself will never find ANY position of power ever again, for the good of humanity.

I watched the video and listen to him berate the female officer and ask for her Russian immigration status, deny her his registration and lie about it later, among other things. He’s just a bad person all around. But he is a great representation of entitlement in America. When speaking to her supervisor, he actually was justifying shooting of people, when they act like her, all because she stopped him. He was caught, breaking all kinds of laws. Driving is a privilege. He is a pathetic person and it’s awful to see a politician push their weight around to get his way. What a bully. HE is what is wrong with American politicians. I was glad to find this article and read, he’s no longer in this political arena. Sadly, he’s not the only one that acts this way.
