Southwest Airlines flight attendant called for Trump’s assassination in sickening social media posts

· New York Post

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant prayed for President Trump’s assassination on social media after a gunman breached security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Michele Carpino made the perverse plea on her Facebook page just minutes after the news that would-be assassin Cole Allen stormed the annual black-tie Washington press bash last Saturday.

“Oh please sweet baby Jesus,” Carpino wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, Libs of TikTok reported.

“WE NEED BETTER ASSASSIN’S! [sic],” she commented following the news that shooter Allen’s alleged sick plot was thwarted by Secret Service agents.

Carpino has a history of posting disturbing anti-Trump screeds on social media. i

“One day we will wake up to his obituary,” read one post from July 10, 2024, just three days before the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt on Trump.

Another post uncovered by Libs of TikTok, Carpino posted the phrase “86 47”– a term used by the mafia to take a person eight miles out and bury them six feet deep.

That term was posted to social media by former FBI director James Comey on May 15, 2025, leading to his federal indictment April 28. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called Comey’s post an illegal threat to “take the life of” the president.

Elsewhere, Carpino referred to MAGA as “hillbilly ISIS” and had multiple Facebook posts using the phrase “F–K ICE.”

Potential Southwest customers were mortified by the posts.

“Southwest, I will cancel my CCs, I will cancel all upcoming trips. I will NOT fly your airline with people like this being responsible for us in the air. How am I supposed to expect fair treatment from someone like this?,” X-poster I Like Hats stated.

“[S]ure wouldn’t feel comfortable with her taking care of myself or my family. Do better watching socials and hiring,” one X-user wrote to Southwest.

“SW Air, you have a nut job flight attendant. Shame on her! Fire her,” one X-user posted.

Carpino has been a flight attendant with Southwest for 10 years, according to a LinkedIn profile.

A spokesperson for the airline told The Post: “Southwest is aware of these posts and we are addressing the situation. While we don’t comment on personnel matters, this content does not reflect our values and we take it seriously.”

Carpino could not be reached for comment.
