Cathy DiFilippo-Kiley worked as a payroll administrator for the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board in Ontario, Canada, until a video surfaced that made her continued employment impossible. In a TikTok rant that she has since deleted, as described in reports from social media users who viewed it, DiFilippo-Kiley laid out exactly how she wanted President Trump to die. She said, “I know we’re all waiting for it to happen,” before detailing her preferred scenario in the video, which involved a public, violent event while Trump was on stage at a rally or press conference, and she specified it shouldn’t be peaceful or quick.
This was not a joke or hyperbole in the heat of political debate, but a calculated fantasy about the assassination of a sitting president, shared on social media by someone in a position at a Catholic school. The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board fired her after the video went viral, as announced in their official statement. But in her subsequent apology, posted on social media, DiFilippo-Kiley blamed “social media obsession” for her words, claiming it “wasn’t good for my mental health” and insisting this is “not who I am.”
She portrayed herself as a victim of algorithms, a common excuse we’ve seen from leftist figures facing backlash, according to analyses by conservative commentators like those at Breitbart. And it’s the same playbook every time: when people on the left face consequences, they pivot to victimhood, blaming external factors rather than taking responsibility. Never mind that in the original video, she indicated she was “not sorry about it”; now she’s remorseful because her job is gone.
The real question here is not about one unhinged administrator but about how many people like her are working in our schools right now. It is about how many teachers, administrators, and staff members are posting similar content on private accounts or sharing these fantasies in faculty lounges. The mask slipped, and we should believe what we saw.
Providence watches over the bold.
