An American history professor at Fresno State University in California apologized Thursday for a tweet that said President Donald Trump “must hang” to save American democracy.

The professor, Lars Maischak, said he has temporarily left Fresno while the university is on spring break, after receiving death threats and hundreds of hate emails since the tweet was highlighted by far-right websites such as Breitbart News.

“I regret making these tweets,” Maischak said. “I wrote them to an audience of 28 followers on Twitter under the assumption they would be read by people I know.”

Maischak said he sent the tweet in February to voice personal despair over comments by Trump and actions by the current U.S. government and was not trying to incite violence. …

Fresno has a University?”

Maybe it’s just my impression, but it seems like colleges and universities have been spreading like kudzu.

That look like an apology?

He doesn't mean it, but I wonder if the Secret Service made him a deal he couldn't pass up, like apologize, or we take it to the next level?

Apologizing is the liberals new buzz word to take the heat off........they are either saying it or demanding others say it. ...it has lost it’s true meaning as soon as they determined to start abusing it......Thus another social engineering trick...People need to stop apologizing ‘for everything’......it’s not necessary.

Of course it's not an apology.....the game for liberals is say what you want no matter how nasty it is ....and then just apologize after if someone makes a fuss....meanwhile it's out there which is the intention in the first place.

I graduated from FSU quit some time ago. And, not from the history dept.

Yes, Ca does indeed have some rock ribbed conservatives...many from in/around the Fresno area.

“Fresno has a University?”

Yes it does. Like many other California cities, Fresno has a State University Campus. There are 23 campuses with a total of nearly 500,000 students and 24,000 faculty members including this a$$hole.

There is no Kudzu in California. You will, however find it choking the $hit out of Georgia.

To save American democracy, hate-filled creeps like this must be hounded out of our culture.

"Get out, you creep."

The poor professor is described as just a little old “American History” teacher and a “communist” or “far left progressive”. Yet they refer to Breitbart as “far right” ... such bias.

The AP article conveniently didn’t mention that the fool used #hashtags. That takes away his defense for being stupid. The specific purpose of hashtags is to spread your message beyond. Nice try.
