Maine High School Teacher Says Trump And His Supporters ‘Need To Die’ In Unhinged Facebook Meltdown

A Maine high school teacher is under investigation after posting an unhinged, profanity-laced Facebook rant in which she called for the deaths of President Donald Trump and his supporters — even invoking the Secret Service to “take them out.”

JoAnna St. Germain, an English teacher at Waterville Senior High School, published a series of public posts this week advocating political violence, according to the New York Post. In one message, she wrote, “Trump and his cronies need to die.” St. Germain also openly fantasized about the Secret Service targeting Trump supporters. Her Facebook page currently cannot be accessed.

“The Secret Service has the perfect opportunity, if they choose to step up and take it,” she wrote. “Coordinate. Take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts.”

St. Germain insisted she wasn’t calling for the assassination of a president — only because she doesn’t consider Trump a legitimate one. In a follow-up comment, she doubled down: “When I say that Trump and all the sycophants he’s surrounded himself with need to die, I mean that s–t. I’ll die on that hill, happily.”

The posts, which remained public on her Facebook page, sparked immediate outrage. But instead of apologizing, St. Germain dared critics to come after her. “I have zero shame about what I’ve said,” she wrote. “I’m not backtracking a single thing.”

She said she expected to be fired, saying, “I posted [this] knowing I’d likely lose my job and benefits.”

Waterville Public Schools Superintendent Peter Hallen publicly responded, saying the district had “taken steps to ensure everyone’s safety” and that the matter was being actively investigated in coordination with authorities. “While I cannot comment on personal matters, I assure you that due process and the safety of our students and staff are my highest priority,” he wrote, The Maine Wire reported.

St. Germain fired back.

“If you’re mad that I’m speaking truth to power? F–k you,” she wrote, lashing out at anyone critical of her comments.

St. Germain later reposted Hallen’s full statement on her page, showing zero signs of remorse as the school district and law enforcement continue looking into her conduct.

As of now, no disciplinary action has been announced, but the district has remained quiet about the next steps.
