Speaker Destin Hall Leads GOP Charge: NC Democrat Slammed for Posting Severed Trump Head Image

North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall is joining GOP leaders in calling for the resignation of Democratic State Rep. Julie von Haefen after she posted — and later deleted — a video showing a protest sign featuring severed heads, including one resembling former President Donald Trump. Von Haefen has since denounced the image and condemned political violence, but Hall says her behavior “sets a dangerous precedent” in an already volatile political climate. The post surfaced just hours after the fatal shootings of Minnesota lawmakers, intensifying concerns over the normalization of violent political rhetoric.
