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. …

So Lars is not really sorry he said it, only that it got out into the ‘far-right’ news media.???

The 28 jerks he claims he directed his violent message to should also be investigated.

Its appalling to think there’d be even one person amenable to such a violent, disturbed message.

THE BASICS OF A LIBERAL EXISTENCE

- Fake Sensitivity To Almost Everything

- Fake Being Offended

- Fake Concern

- Fake News

- Fake Events (False Flag)

- Fake Sorrow When Caught At Anything


Excellent list!

Lecturer Salary history:
2011 39,843
2012 53,124
2013 84,087

Student reviews refer to his class as “an easy A.” A few complain about adjustment to his accent. A few warn that sometimes he takes attendance.

Typical Review:
“Such an easy class. Teacher is really care free about grades and stuff. Class is mostly online quiz & group essays. Lectures can be boring if you don’t care. He is liberal-minded so I liked his perspective but if you’re conservative he can be annoying. You don’t use any textbook as well. For GE requirement it doesn’t get any easier than this’

Over and over again the liberal pattern occurs: A peep says or does something that goes viral, bringing shame and disdain upon his/her name...then before a blink of an eye, they portray themselves as the victim...

Good. Let them hate, so long as they fear.

German accent. Reports I saw said he is now suspended from his position as a lecturer. I called him a Professor earlier, which appears not to be his title despite a doctorate.

I take it, that’s his ‘War Face’ !!! Look at them beady eyes, you can see this boy, he ain’t right in the head. A real SS would already know his 28 co-conspirators and would be pressing charges. My bet, there are plenty of these ‘comments’ they would all prefer to keep private. Twits in Twitland. smh.

Another dirtbag liberal who isn’t happy unless he starts insurrection with false narratives and lies. He can now go hug his Obama collector plates. They’ll be worth millions. In Zimbabwe dollars.
