NCGOP Calls for State Rep. Julie von Haefen to Resign

June 17, 2025

RALEIGH - The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) is calling for Democratic State Rep. Julie von Haefen to resign following her shocking social media post indicating support for the assassination of President Donald Trump.

At a so-called “No Kings” Rally protesting the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday Celebration in Raleigh on Saturday, von Haefen shared a graphic photo showing President Trump being beheaded with a guillotine. 

Rep. von Heafen herself confirmed the posts and deleted her X account in response to widespread outrage.

That Rep. von Haefen posted the photos hours after two Minnesota state representatives were targeted in assassinations, with one of the victims being fatally shot, is shocking.

"The posts Rep. von Haefen shared do not show the judgement or temperament of someone to hold public office. For the good of her constituents to have effective representation, she should resign," said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons. 

Additionally, N.C. House Speaker Destin Hall wrote about the incident, saying,

"Her disgraceful behavior fails to meet the standards expected from House members and sets a dangerous precedent in an already volatile political climate. I am examining next steps with our legislative attorneys to ensure this behavior does not continue."
