A Canadian biology professor shocked social media with their comment on the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who shot Donald Trump, opened fire at the former president with an AR-style rifle from a roof 130 yards from the rally stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday at 6.15pm.
Many have used the attempt on a former president's life to ask for toned down rhetoric from both sides of the political spectrum.
Shoshanna Jacobs, a biology professor at Ontario's University of Guelph, received condemnation from all sides after quote-tweeting a video of the shooting, when noting how nearly Trump missed being directly hit.
Jacobs - a professor of integrative biology - wrote on the social media platform X: 'When 4 inches really matters'. The professor, who has taught at the school since 2012 and uses they/them pronouns, was quickly vilified for her joke.
'Wow, you really are an awful person,' wrote one X user. 'People died today. But hey, you've got jokes.'
Another succinctly added: 'This only makes you look evil.'
More social media users tagged Jacobs' employers and asked them to be fired.
'Do you support assassinations and murders @uofg? Why do you have professor supporting criminality teaching at University of Guelph?'
Another wrote: 'Educator? I seriously hope your vile nasty take gets you fired'.
Donald Trump's family and supporters have slammed the liberal media for downplaying Saturday evening's assassination attempt - and for running tone-deaf opinion pieces in the wake of the atrocity.

I would imagine that's some where up there with “Interpretive Afro-Haitian Dance Theory. There's great need across the spectrum for scholars in this field.
From Berzerkeley, and for anyone else curious, on what the bleep is “integrative biology”...

Explains a lot.
"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."

Another naïve Bolshevik JINO, who thinks will be spared by the Muslim hordes when Islam takes over Canada. That is the freaks well deserved destiny. /spit
What is integrative biology? Another phony degree to attract lesbians into the sciences?
The left has managed to make themselves look worse than ANYTHING the right could have done or said.
Indeed. Starbuck's all need these scholars.
Most likely it’s pronouns are “I...Am...Crazy”.
Think local, act local:
Thank you for such a well researched post.
The drivel and word salad bs that spews from this person outshines anything the propagandists in Stalin’s Kremlin of Hitler’s Third Reich could ever have come up with.
This is the kind of bulls**t they read to you just as they’re putting the pistol to the nape of your neck.
