Fischer, who was first elected to the Washington County School Board in 2002, and taught English and journalism at several Washington County schools shared multiple posts criticizing the President on social media.

“He could care less how many Americans die from this even if he is the one who exposed them. I hope he dies from it. That would solve a lot of America’s problems,” one post read.
