Michele Morrow is running for superintendent of K-12 public education in North Carolina .

In a deleted Facebook video from her hotel room, Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election.

CNN has seen no evidence that Morrow entered the Capitol building that day or engaged in violence.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy troops to an American state if requested by the governor or state legislature.

Using the Act to remain in office would be “tantamount to a military coup,” a professor says.

Morrow previously streamed videos of herself espousing extremist rhetoric on Facebook and YouTube .
