As if the good people of North Carolina haven’t suffered enough lately, they also have to worry about this: a network of child traffickers and pedophiles that tortures and kills children to harvest their blood for an anti-aging elixir known as adrenochrome.

Or so believes the Republican candidate to be the state’s superintendent of public instruction, Michele Morrow.
“The evil, demon-possessed people who worship Satan have been using this to try to keep their youth,” Morrow said in a video she posted on Facebook in 2020. “They’ve been using it as a drug that is more powerful than street drugs. … It is gotten through children who are being tortured and know that they are about to die. Guys, this is deep, it is evil, and it is real. It is truly happening, and we have got to stop it.” Among those she has identified as adrenochrome users is the actor Jim Carrey.
And this is not the only shocking discovery made by Morrow. Just a couple of weeks ago, she informed the public that the plus sign in LGBTQ+ “includes PEDOPH*L*A!!”

She previously proposed a “Pay Per View” of Barack Obama “in front of the firing squad” because “I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.” She also called for the executions of President Joe Biden, Bill Gates and several others.
She has posted QAnon slogans and called Islam a “political cult.” She has called for surveillance cameras in school bathrooms and discourages parents from sending their kids to public schools, which she refers to as “indoctrination centers” and “socialism centers.” Her own kids were home-schooled. She was on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and proposed at the time that President Donald Trump invoke the Insurrection Act, which, she said, “completely puts the Constitution to the side and says, ‘Now the military rules all.’”
She has asserted that the World Health Organization has been using vaccines to sterilize people and kill children, which is “their intention, because that is who Satan is.” And she argued that Satan is “in cahoots” with Democrats, globalists, the “one world order,” the United Nations, China and Russia “to take down the United States of America.”
But here’s the truly crazy thing: Morrow has an even chance to become the state’s top educator. A poll by Raleigh-based WRAL last month found that she is in a statistical tie with her Democratic opponent.
She’ll be on the Republican ticket next month with gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson, the man who, CNN reported, referred to himself as a “black NAZI” and a “perv,” expressed support for reinstating slavery, and said he watched transgender pornography. Robinson denies all this, but he is well known for his incendiary remarks, calling homosexuality “filth” and the Holocaust “hogwash,” and saying that “some folks need killing.” Robinson badly trails Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the state’s attorney general — as well he should. Yet he still commands the support of 63 percent of Republicans, according to an East Carolina University poll released Wednesday.
It’s a story often told, from coast to coast: Republican primaries bring out the far-right faithful, who reward the most extreme candidate in the race. Then party loyalty kicks in, and ordinary Republican voters rally behind the nominee, no matter how exotic. In Morrow’s case, she won the primary with 457,000 votes — or about 20 percent of the state’s registered Republicans. She beat the incumbent, a normal Republican, by 37,000 votes. Now millions may vote for her, simply because she’s the Republican nominee.
The poll showing a dead heat comes despite extensive reporting by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski (who also broke the “black NAZI” story), Media Matters and others on Morrow’s extensive and outlandish social media history. Her campaign didn’t respond to inquiries about whether she has updated any of her previously expressed views, which include claims that Obama is a Muslim and a “puppet for the Deep State and the Muslim movement”; that transgender therapy is “a disgusting plan of Big Pharma to make our children unable to reproduce”; and that “tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers” were mustering in Canada to install Biden as president.
She likened mask mandates during the pandemic to Nazis telling Jews to “just wear the yellow star.” She took issue with “everybody who thinks it’s so great to have somebody that’s Black in the White House.” She complained about hearing foreign languages spoken at her local Dollar Tree: “Did these people just get bused here from the border?” She has also attempted to get certain books banned from schools, she has called for abolishing the state’s board of education, and she has made noises about rejecting federal education funds.
Now, North Carolinians will decide whether to sacrifice the state’s 1.4 million public schoolchildren to this conspiracy theorist. To do so would be, well, satanic.
