Connecticut police are investigating after a teacher vowed to “deal with” Trump supporters.

CHESHIRE, Conn. (CITC) — The Cheshire Police Department in Connecticut has launched an investigation after a local teacher’s anti-Trump rant went viral online.

The video allegedly shows Chapman School special education teacher Annie Dunleavy threatening to “handle” supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. As of Wednesday, X had over 7.5 million views.

“Just because you won doesn’t mean we don’t remember who the hell you voted for,” she says in the clip. “Please don’t test your gangster on me or you’ll end up on a stretcher and gone forever. So serious.”

“If you voted for Trump, please delete me, block me, remove everything from me, or stand up to me so I know what’s going on and can deal with you as I see fit,” she added. “Please just come forward, we fucking know.”

Cheshire Police wrote in a statement that the department was aware of the video and confirmed an ongoing investigation.

“This investigation is ongoing and no further information is available at this time,” the department wrote.

Connecticut state Sen. Rob Sampson, R-District 80, issued a statement condemning the video and saying the behavior was unbecoming of a public school teacher.

“Such behavior cannot be tolerated in any school system,” said Senator Sampson. “Education should enable students to think critically and independently, not impose personal political views on them.”

“Unfortunately, incidents like this reveal a worrying hypocrisy on the part of the radicalized political left, which often without evidence accuses the right of bigotry and intolerance,” he added.

Angry locals also raised concerns about the video during a Cheshire City Council meeting on Tuesday.

“What would have happened if someone hadn’t shared this video?” asked one speaker. “What if something had happened?”

The Connecticut Educator’s Association (CEA) called for a “civil” discussion about the election in a statement to the National News Desk (TNND) Wednesday morning.

“CEA values ​​the right to freedom of expression and respects the diverse opinions of our members,” it says. “We know emotions can run high after an election and we encourage everyone to engage in respectful conversations as part of our democratic process. To maintain a positive environment in our schools, it is important that we keep our discussions civil and purposeful.”

Cheshire Public Schools Superintendent Jeffrey Solan did not respond to a request for comment from TNND on Wednesday, although CT Insider reports that Dunleavy has been suspended.
