A non-binary researcher at the University of Washington is under investigation after she allegedly called for conservatives to be assassinated like Charlie Kirk in disturbing social media posts.

Staffer Mara Maughan, who uses she/they pronouns, made the sick comment on a Facebook post from the executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute, Corey DeAngelis, who had shared a clip of Democratic Washington state Sen. Jamie Pedersen refusing to acknowledge biological advantages men have over women in sport, Fox News Digital reported.

“May there be Tyler Robinsons for you all,” Maughan wrote in the comment, in response to the clip, in which DeAngelis had written, “he can’t acknowledge that there are biological differences between men and women.”

Robinson is on trial for assassinating the conservative activist during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.

Maughan is labeled as an RSE1 under the Department of Microbiology’s “research and lab staff” on the UW Fuller Labs website.

She is employed through a union-based position at the university, and has her own office space listed on the department’s website on its South Lake Union campus.

We are reviewing the specifics of this situation — including a detailed review of the facts, university policy and the law — and will determine next steps,” a UW spokesperson told Fox.
