Stunning Unearthed Video Shows GOP Nominee to Run North Carolina’s Schools Calling on Trump to Enact Military Coup to Stay In Office

By News Here - 12:07

The Republican nominee running to become North Carolina’s top educator who said she wanted to see former President Barack Obama executed also called for a military coup to keep President Donald Trump in office, according to a report.

Michele Morrow, a right-wing political activist, won the North Carolina Republican primary for Superintendent of Public Instruction earlier this year, unseating incumbent Republican Catherine Truitt in the race.

It was quickly discovered she attended the rally on Jan.6 that saw rioters breach the U.S. Capitol resulting in the deaths of numerous police officers and the delay of the certification of the 2020 election results.

There was no proof Morrow attempted to enter the building and she was never charged with a crime. CNN unearthed social media posts in which Morrow shared a desire to see Obama executed. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck reported that the time the network confronted Morrow about her comments.

On Friday, the duo reported Morrow had called on Trump to use the military to stay in power after he lost the 2020 election. KFILE reported:

On the night of January 6, Morrow posted a since-removed livestream on her friend’s Facebook account advocating for a military coup. In a video since-removed from YouTube in December 2020, Morrow said she had been locked out of her Facebook page for being “naughty” until January 23, 2021 – according to a copy archived by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

“President Trump is still president until the 20th,” Morrow said in the video streamed from her hotel room on the night of January 6, 2021. “So he can still invoke the executive order against voter fraud. And now he has every player that participated in his sights, and they can all be arrested for treason. And if the police won’t do it and the Department of Justice won’t do it, then he will have to enact the Insurrection Act. In which case the Insurrection Act completely puts the Constitution to the side and says, now the military rules all. Okay?

“And let me tell you, President Trump, President Trump has the military on his side because the military and many leaders in the military who love this nation and who love our Constitution and who have put their life on the line to protect the freedoms of people in the United States that they will never meet, they chose President Trump to be their candidate,” she added. “So as long as he invokes the Insurrection Act before the inauguration, then he’s going to be re-inaugurated. He’s going to be put back in.”

Per CNN, Morrow live-streamed earlier in the day where she said she and others marched on the Capitol because “our president asked us to come.”

“We are here to take back America. We are here to stop the steal. We are here to ensure that President Trump gets four more years,” she said in the video. “If you’re gonna commit treason, if you are going to, if you’re gonna participate in fraud in the United States election, we’re coming after you.”

In March, CNN confronted Morrow over comments posted on a now-deleted X account in January 2021 in which she said, “I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad. I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.”

Morrow will face Democrat Mo Green on Nov. 5.
