A Michigan registered nurse has become the focus of a growing online controversy after she was identified as the woman seen in a video making violent remarks about President Donald Trump.
The clip showed the woman saying she would travel to Washington, DC, and ‘take a knife’ to Trump’s throat.
Conservative social media accounts identified the woman as Rhonda Lee, alleging that she works as a nurse providing in-home care to elderly patients in Michigan.
The controversy emerged after conservative news and commentary accounts shared clips that allegedly showed Lee discussing violent actions against Trump.
However, at no point in the footage does she explicitly seem to mention President Donald Trump by name.
The video sparked strong reactions online, with many users arguing that healthcare professionals should be held to high standards regarding public conduct and threats of violence.
