ELKHORN — An Elkhorn associate principal says she and her family faced harassment after a social media post falsely connected her to comments about the death of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
West Side Elementary Associate Principal Cindy Rehberg said the calls began Friday afternoon.
“I answered the phone and someone was swearing on the other line — I knew right away something was wrong,” she said.
Over the weekend, the district had logged more than 800 voicemails, some of which were vulgar and threatening.
District leaders said someone lifted Rehberg’s photo and placed it under another person’s post that included critical comments about Charlie Kirk’s death, creating the impression she wrote the remarks.
Ryan Fournier, a conservative activist and co-founder of Students for Trump, then posted it to his page with nearly one million followers.
“Who is Cynthia Irene? That’s not me. I’m Cynthia Rose,” Rehberg said. “I had just learned who Charlie Kirk was two days prior — I said how sad for him and his family.”
