They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter.

Remember when Obama cancelled funds for NJ after Christie won governorship in 2009? Or when Biden cancelled funds for VA after Youngkin won in 2021?
You can’t remember that, because those things never happened.
What Trump threatens—cancelling funds because of election results—is unprecedented.
