Former Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw did not hold back on her feelings about President Donald Trump, calling him a fascist and saying he needed to be removed from the White House.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Jan. 28, the two-time national champion coach blamed the administration for creating an environment in which law and justice no longer apply. Her remarks came four days after ICE agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Pretti had been trying to protect a woman who was being assaulted by ICE agents. Agents knocked the VA nurse to the ground, beat him and took the gun he had a license to carry before shooting him multiple times.
"We no longer believe in the rule of law, or in the principle that no one is above it — because under this administration, the opposite has proven true," McGraw wrote. "Justice is no longer blind; it is bought with money and protected by power."
"We need real change," she continued. "... What we need is a reckoning in Washington. Until we remove the fascist in the White House, we will continue to watch our democracy crumble."
