North Carolina has an exremist nut as the GOP candidate for education superintendent

GOP education candidate urged Trump to suspend Constitution and declare military coup

North Carolina superintendent candidate Michele Morrow urged former President Donald Trump on January 6 to suspend the Constitution and use the military and martial law to stay in power, according to CNN's KFILE.

Morrow traveled to the Capitol on the day of the insurrection, wrote Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski, but there is no evidence she rioted at the complex or joined the crowd in breaking into the facility.


She did, however, post a Facebook Live stream from her hotel room in which she proclaimed anyone who helped certify the 2020 presidential election should be arrested.




“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.”



Among other things, Morrow suggested President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama should be executed for treason, with Obama's killing aired on pay-per-view; that the Chinese Communist Party stationed thousands of troops in Canada to steal the presidential election from Trump; and has endorsed conspiracy theories from the Nazi-influenced QAnon movement.

All of this comes as the North Carolina GOP also faces scrutiny over extremist views of their gubernatorial nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who has downplayed the Holocaust, said America was better back when women didn't have the right to vote, and proposed that elementary schoolers shouldn't be taught science or history.
