A Washington County Board of Education member from Maryland has said she will resign after she published a post on her personal Facebook page saying that she wished President Donald Trump would die from COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.

Longtime educator Jacqueline Fischer, who has since retracted her comments, was also criticized for sharing a series of posts that criticized the president and his administration.
