GOP senator shuns candidate who demanded Obama's public execution: 'terrorist propaganda'

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is apparently drawing a line at being asked to endorse Republican North Carolina superintendent nominee Michele Morrow.

A spokesperson for Tillis offered a statement to WNCN reporter Michael Hyland in which he spoke in unsparing terms about the person whom North Carolina Republicans want to see run their state's school system.

"Highly unlikely he'd support her," the spokesperson said. "Spewing terrorist propaganda and calling for public executions of elected officials you disagree with are things we usually hear from radical fundamentalists in places like Iran, Afghanistan, and Russia, not candidates running for office in North Carolina."

Tillis' statement came just hours after CNN revealed that Morrow had called in 2020 for the public execution of former President Barack Obama.

“I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad," Morrow said of the possibility of killing America's first Black president. "I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.”

Morrow also reacted with violent rhetoric to President Joe Biden when he asked Americans to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic that killed over 1 million U.S. citizens.

"Never," she told Biden. "We need to follow the Constitution’s advice and KILL all TRAITORS!!!"

Morrow doesn't just limit her death wishes to elected officials, as she has also wished death upon Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, who has been a strong advocate for vaccines.

In response to reports on her past extremist statements, Morrow doubled down and restated her belief that Obama was a "treasonous" president.

"The insanity of the media demonstrates the need to teach K-12 students real history and critical thinking skills," she argued in a Twitter post.
