GREER, South Carolina (WYFF) — The Secret Service is investigating after a South Carolina woman allegedly threatened to harm President Donald Trump and his supporters in a post on social media.
On Wednesday, March 25, the York County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of multiple social media posts made by a woman from her home in Greer.
According to the sheriff’s office, in the aforementioned social media posts, the woman appeared to threaten Trump and members of MAGA.
York County detectives immediately launched an investigation and worked to verify the credibility of the information.
On Monday, March 30, investigators determined that there is no credible threat. The individual, who deputies say previously lived in Fort Mill, SC, recorded the video in Greer.
We are told that out of an abundance of caution, Secret Service members have been notified and are actively investigating the posts.
In the original post on TikTok, which has since been deleted, the woman allegedly told Trump supporters to “count their days.” She continued by threatening to harm the president himself if she was given the opportunity.
She later deleted the original post and addressed it in a post on Facebook, stating that the “threats were made in a rage-baiting gesture.” She also claimed that she had taken down most of her accounts on social media after receiving phone calls and emails of death threats.
No charges have currently been filed. No other details have been released at this time.
