School Official Resigns after Alleged ‘Shoot Republicans’ Message Resurfaces

A local Kentucky school board chairman resigned after a social media post resurfaced of him allegedly calling to “shoot Republicans.”

Jeffrey Miller, who had served as chairman of Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District since 2016, resigned Thursday, the newly-elected chairperson, Sara Shackelford-Ross, announced.

Miller’s social media post, reacting to a mass shooting that took place in Jacksonville, Florida in 2018, reportedly said, “i’d be ok with the NRA if these psychos were just once the victims of a mass shooting. WINK WINK: please shoot republicans.”

Kentucky Republican state representative Steven Doan said the social media comment resurfaced after he received complaints from his constituents this spring.

“This began with a request that the school reopen a track at the High School. I made a post about it on my Facebook page to see where the community stood. This is when I began receiving social media messages from community members. They said that they wanted to publicly support me and my position, but they feared retaliation,” Doan told Fox News Digital.
