A university professor in Las Vegas was filmed in class this week suggesting President Trump deserves some blame for the city’s shooting massacre because “all he’s done” is “encourage violence.”
“Right when he got elected, I told my classes, three semesters ago, that some of us won’t be affected by this presidency, but others are going to die,” UNLV history professor Tessa Winkelmann said Thursday, according to video obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Other people will die because of this. And we’ve seen this happen, right?”
Winkelmann cited Trump’s comments threatening military action against North Korea and argued “words, especially if they’re coming from someone who is the president, have consequences.”
“I don’t know that these events would have inevitably happened whether or not he got elected, but he has rhetorical powers every president has to encourage or to discourage,” she said of the Las Vegas shooting. “So far all he’s done is to encourage violence.”
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that a student told them Winkelmann’s comments polarized the classroom and students began shouting at each other.
The comments have since been criticized by both the university and the White House. Winkelmann has also issued an apology.
“It is sad she is teaching students such divisive, inaccurate and irresponsible rhetoric,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “She should be ashamed of herself, and the university should look into it. What a terrible example to set for students.”
Winkelmann expressed regret about her comments to the newspaper.

Blame? I’d bet globull warming, but it could be Russian collusion. Or most likely the NRA.

A White Liberal Elite Monster shoots up hundreds of Trump supporters and this idiot wants to blame Trump?
Does the professor believe all those women who kept silent about Weinstein are to blame?
so by this idiots logic I guess Obama is to blame for Orlando, Sandy Hook, Washington Navy Yard, Boston marathon, etc etc..cant have it both ways Looney tune
And here we have today’s classic example of another insane lib of it’s meds. Dangerous, very dangerous. Children and students should not be allowed anywhere near this one.
There was a similar incident earlier this year, at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA (a community college). The student who made the recording was disciplined.
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” - President Barack Obama.
Having it both ways only applies to conservatives. Liberals, who CARE, have their illogical statements protected by the dishonest media.
Liberals don’t care about anything, that is why they can slaughter babies and smile while its being done. Liberals are happy this happened, after all, this ISIS inspired jerk off targeted Conservatives
Fitst thing that popped into my head...
Funny how left wing rhetoric never gets anybody shot or killed...
Oh’ Wait....
Too bad a pussy like 0bama has protection. Otherwise his pussy little ass would have been beaten long ago. What a cowardly pussy 0bama is. I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.
Yep. He’s another one on my, ‘Pi*ss On Their Graves’ List!
