A West Virginia librarian has been charged after she allegedly posted videos seeking to recruit assassins targeting President Donald Trump.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department in West Virginia announced Sunday evening that Morgan L. Morrow of Ripley, West Virginia, was charged with one count of making a terroristic threat.

The sheriff’s department said that Morrow, a librarian at the Jackson County Public Library, used “social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Trump.”

“Further details will be released as we continue to compile facts and further the investigation,” Jackson County Sheriff RH Mellinger said. “NOTE: This is not meant to be a political – oriented statement. This is an active criminal investigation with documented and troubling concerns.”

The announcement from the sheriff’s department came after Libs of TikTok posted a video that Morrow reportedly posted.

The video was captioned: “Surely a sniper with a terminal illness cannot be a big ask out of 343 million.”
