Extreme and Controversial Comments by North Carolina Republican Nominee for Superintendent – CNN Investigation
The Republican nominee for superintendent overseeing North Carolina’s public schools and its $11 billion budget has sparked controversy with her extreme and disturbing comments. Michele Morrow, a conservative activist who recently won the Republican primary, has a history of sharing baseless conspiracy theories and advocating for the execution of prominent Democrats.
Morrow’s past social media posts reveal her support for the televised execution of former President Barack Obama and the suggestion of killing then-President-elect Joe Biden. She has also made disturbing comments about executing other prominent Democrats such as Ilhan Omar, Roy Cooper, Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, and more.
In addition to her calls for violence against Democrats, Morrow has promoted QAnon slogans and conspiracy theories, including the false claim that Obama was Muslim and the belief that Chinese troops were stationed in Canada to help Joe Biden become president.
Despite her controversial statements, Morrow managed to defeat the incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction in the Republican primary. If elected, she would oversee North Carolina’s public school system and work with the state’s Board of Education to set curriculum standards.
Morrow’s extreme views and history of advocating for violence have raised concerns among many, prompting a closer look at her campaign and past statements. The story continues to develop as Morrow defends her previous tweets, claiming that Obama committed treason.
