A teacher in Maine repeatedly called for the killing of President Trump and his supporters in a shocking slew of social media posts – even acknowledging that her boss ‘will have to fire me’ over the call to violence.
JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School, took to Facebook to share her inflammatory thoughts on how to ‘take out’ the president.
‘The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it,’ she wrote.
‘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.’
St. Germain wrote that she would not view the act as ‘assassinating a president,’ because ‘a president is a person duly elected by the American people.’
‘Trump has shamelessly bragged openly about stealing the election. He is making plans to give himself a third term,’ she wrote.
After her post sparked outrage online, the teacher doubled down by saying that she made the statements ‘knowing I’d likely lose my job and benefits,’ but went ahead regardless because she believes Trump is comparable to Adolf Hitler.
JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School in Maine, is facing backlash after calling for the killing of President Trump and his inner circle in a shocking slew of social media posts
The English teacher took to Facebook to share her inflammatory thoughts on how to take out the president, saying: ‘The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it’
In her original post, St. Germain said that she was urging the Secret Service to assassinate Trump and his team, but ‘if I had the skill set required, I would take them out myself.’
‘I’m making this post public for a reason, I promise you,’ she added.
In a follow-up Facebook post, the teacher attempted to clarify her remarks on killing Trump and his inner circle by saying she was not calling for the deaths of all Republicans.
‘I have no beef with Republicans, I have no beef with MAGA,’ she wrote.
‘I meant that those in the room with Trump, who are permitting and approving his egregious actions, need to be held accountable.
‘I love each and every one of you, and I understand why you’re angry with me… My love holds no quarter for people in power actively harming those I love.’
After sharing her explanation, St. Germain followed up with more calls for Trump’s killing, including one saying he ‘needs to have a conversation with Jesus.’

She went on to say she posted the remarks knowing she may lose her job, but insisted: ‘I have zero shame about what I’ve said.
‘I believe Trump and every sycophant he has surrounded himself with (this is not you – if you’re reading this, this doesn’t apply to you. You are beneath his notice and mine) needs to die,’ she wrote.
Comparing Trump’s orbit to the Nazis, she continued: ‘I believe this will the same forceful belief that Hitler and his sycophants needed to die, before they murdered six million innocent Jewish persons.’
After her comments circulated widely on social media, St. Germain added one more post insisting she doesn’t suffer from ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’
‘If you’re mad at this post, knowing that I just threw away a decade of experience teaching the truth, fully knowing that my superintendent will have to fire me?
‘If you’re mad that I’m speaking truth to power? F*** you. I’ll still take a bullet to keep your child safe.’
St. Germain wrote that she understood sharing her brazen social media posts could get her fired, but decided to proceed anyways
