The Secret Service is investigating after a New Jersey teacher allegedly threatened President Trump on social media. Fred Wilson, a special education and social studies teacher at Egg Harbor Township High School, reportedly wrote, “I think we are at the moment where assassination is at least a talking point,” on Facebook, according to the Secret Service and reports.
The post first drew attention after a screenshot of his account was shared on the Libs of TikTok X account.
President Trump was grazed by a bullet fired at him during a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13, 2024.
The Secret Service stated, “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the incident involving comments made online by a teacher in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. The Secret Service takes all threats related to our protectees seriously.”
Another of Wilson’s social media posts reportedly read, “F–k Trump and F–k You for Voting for Him.”
Trump survived two assassination attempts prior to the November election.
Egg Harbor Township Schools are investigating the matter. Superintendent Kim Gruccio told the Press of Atlantic City, “The district is aware of the social media post that is circulating from one of our high school teachers. We take comments about and suggestions of violence very seriously. The district is cooperating with law enforcement and is conducting an investigation; however, as this is a personnel matter under New Jersey law, I cannot comment further at this time.”
Wilson, who deleted his Facebook account after the post surfaced, did not respond to requests for comment.
