Maine high school teacher calls for deaths of Trump and his supporters in Facebook posts --Teacher stood by her comments in multiple follow-up posts | 1 May 2025 | A Maine high school English teacher's Facebook posts went viral after she called on the U.S. Secret Service to "take out" people who support President Donald Trump's "illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts" and also called for the president's death. "The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it," Waterville Senior High School teacher JoAnna St. Germain wrote on Tuesday. "You are the ones with power. Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts. Look at the sycophants and give them what they're asking for. Every other country sees what's happening and they are taking stands. If you step up, we can avoid a civil war." She added that she was "not talking about assassinating a president" because a president is "a person duly elected" while Trump is heading "a fascist dictatorship."
