A librarian from Ripley, West Virginia, has been arrested after allegedly using social media to encourage violence against President Donald Trump, according to local authorities.
Social media recruitment
Morgan L. Morrow, 39, an employee of the Jackson County Public Library, has been charged with one count of making a terroristic threat, according to The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
”When you saddle up on the horse of stupidity, you have to be prepared for the ride that follows,” Sheriff Ross Mellinger told 13 News.
Investigators say the case came to light after Morrow posted a disturbing video on Instagram that authorities believe crossed the line from political rhetoric into criminal behavior.
In a statement released Sunday evening, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department said Morrow used “social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Trump.”
