ELMER -- A borough police lieutenant's online activity is under review after posts on social media appeared to show his strong support of President Donald Trump while taking aim at a variety of Democrats and national news figures.

Steven Felice, whose Twitter account has since been deleted, is a lieutenant with the Elmer Police Department, according to the borough's website. He is one of seven officers serving in the department, according to the website.

"We're aware of it and the matter is under internal review by the Elmer Police Department," Salem County Prosecutor John Lenahan said Saturday.

Elmer police Chief Pat Bryan did not immediately respond to a request for comment left Saturday at department headquarters. No one from the department or prosecutor's office was able to to say what Felice's duty status will be during the review process.

Screenshots of Felice's Twitter postings made throughout February show he tags President Trump in one tweet, saying that he knows the president "will Make America Great Again!"

In other tweets, Felice calls former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather a "scumbag liar," tells former ABC Nightline co-host Terry Moran to "watch his back" and tells Hillary Clinton that she is "corrupt."

According to the Boston Globe, one of Felice's Twitter targets was Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, an Iraq war veteran whom Felice allegedly called a "scumbag" and was told to "watch your back at every turn."

The report adds that U.S. Capitol Police were alerted to the online activity.

Felice was promoted to lieutenant in January 2014, according to previous reports. According to an online law enforcement profile, Felice began his career in 1990 as an officer in Millville, Cumberland County, before joining Elmer in 2004.

"My first glimpse of law enforcement was watching my father, who was a New York City police officer, come home in uniform. I couldn't help but think, 'That's my hero, that's my dad,'" he told NJ Advance Media at the time.
