'Pay-per-view in front of firing squad': GOP candidate called for Obama's public execution

The Republican candidate to oversee schools in North Carolina has repeatedly called for executing Democratic presidents, a CNN report claimed.

According to an investigation by CNN's KFILE, "Michele Morrow, a conservative activist who last week upset the incumbent Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina’s Republican primary, expressed support in 2020 for the televised execution of former President Barack Obama and suggested killing then-President-elect Joe Biden."

This comes after an exclusive Raw Story investigation that exposed some of her other extremist social media postings, including wishing death on tech billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates.

In one tweet, she replied to a commenter saying Obama should be sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,

“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.” In another, she proclaimed, “Death to ALL traitors!!” in response to a photoshopped image of Obama sitting in an electric chair.

Morrow, a homeschooling advocate and registered nurse, also called for Biden's death in response to his advocacy that people wear masks at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading with no vaccine available, the report claimed.

She has also promoted slogans from the QAnon conspiracy theory, a Nazi-linked ideology which holds that a Satanic group of elites are sex-trafficking children and consuming their blood to achieve immortality; falsely claimed that Obama was Muslim; and that the Chinese Communist Party stationed thousands of soldiers in Canada to steal the election for Biden.

North Carolina Republicans face similar controversy over their gubernatorial nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who has promoted Holocaust denial and waxed nostalgic for the era when women couldn't vote.
