(LEX 18) — A TikTok video of a Woodford County teacher expressing her political views has prompted Kentucky Rep. Andy Barr to ask the Secret Service to investigate what he called a threat against President Trump and Republicans.
In one video the woman states, "I know you guys are planners.. How about not attacking a random city and civilians but maybe just like going straight for the heart of America, straight for our f****** juggler. The White House obviously the Capitol, I know that is very well protected. Have you ever heard of Mar-A-Lago?"
In another video one the woman expresses, "Apparently a lot of you did not like my video asking countries like Iran that they knew our President spent a lot of time at Mar-A-Lago. You guys reported it enough to get it taken down. I'm gonna repeat it. Have they checked Mar-A-Lago?"
"I taught social studies one year — hated it...because most of you all teach your kids, not right," the woman adds in a different TikTok post. "And then I got your kids coming into social studies telling me that the President has f****** unlimited power..."
Barr's post on X read: "This is disgusting. I urge Woodford County High School to ensure this woman is nowhere near children..."
Woodford County Public School released the following statement:
Woodford County Public Schools is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. We have been made aware of a serious situation that may have violated this commitment.
