MAGA Extremist Superintendent Candidate Michele Morrow Threatens Violence Over Election, Says ‘This is War’

Source: Cardinal & Pine, WRAL

Michele Morrow, the right-wing extremist candidate for North Carolina state superintendent who has a history of violent and hateful rhetoric, has seemingly called for violence if Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, Cardinal & Pine reported.

Morrow is best known for her calls for the execution of Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Gov. Roy Cooper, and her attendance at the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the Capitol insurrection. Earlier this month she seemed to suggest that Republicans might need to use violence if Trump loses in November.

In a message to Wake County Republicans on Oct. 1, Morrow said that “we either willingly fight now, or we will be forced to fight on Nov 6th.”

Election Day is Nov. 5.

“This is war, ladies and gentlemen!” she wrote.

Whenever Morrow is questioned about her history of violent speech and writing she accuses the media of dredging up old news and taking her words “out of context.” She has deleted most of her old posts or deleted the accounts she used to post them – but they can still be found online.

Some of those deleted posts include the one where she said that Obama should be shot by a firing squad live on pay-per-view

“I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death,” she tweeted in 2020.

She also said that Biden and Cooper should be put to death because of their vaccine and mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the night of Jan. 6, 2021, after the violent attack on the Capitol had been quelled, Morrow took to Facebook to post a video where she said that the election was stolen and that Trump should enforce the Insurrection Act, “put the Constitution to the side,” and if necessary, use the U.S. military against American citizens to remain in power.

Her latest threat of violence was part of a message posted to the Wake Forest Republicans website. The message was meant to encourage Republicans to attend a school board meeting.

“If we lose NC, we lose the White House and our future,” Morrow wrote. “Our children are being attacked. This is the American Revolution 2.0!”

When questioned recently by WRAL about her latest comments, Morrow denied she was calling for violence and then dodged the TV station’s questions about her past comments and rhetoric.

Democrat Maurice “Mo” Green, who served as the superintendent of Guilford County Schools for more than seven years, said his opponent Morrow’s comments aren’t about education or students.

They’re about stoking fear, division, and an extreme political agenda,” Green told WRAL, adding, “Our children deserve leaders who will unite us and foster a safe, productive learning environment, not someone who calls for political violence over and over again.”

Green has been leading Morrow in the most recent polls, but only by a small margin.

Early voting is underway now and ends at 3 p.m. on Nov. 2. The deadline to register online to vote has passed, however, during the early voting period, you can register in person when you go to vote. ID is now required for voting in North Carolina, and you can view a list of approved IDs here.
