The president of the Cornell University College Republicans was shoved to the ground and called a “racist bitch” the night after the election, and campus officials are currently investigating the incident.
“I was actually assaulted on campus for being a Republican,” Olivia Corn told The Tab. “I had someone throw me to the ground and say: ‘[bleep] you, racist bitch, you support a racist party.”
Corn gave the same account to The Ithaca Voice.
“Out of nowhere I was on my phone and looking at my email and out of nowhere I felt two hands grab my shoulders and just sort of threw me to the ground, and they were yelling ‘Fuck you racist bitch, you support a racist party,'” Corn said.
She has reported the incident to Cornell police and the university’s Title IX office.
“I now walk with an alarm at all times. That’s pretty much my new normal. I don’t walk by myself after a certain time, once it gets dark. And that’s not something I should have to be concerned with,” Corn told The Tab. “I’m a college student, I’m just trying to get good grades, get to law school, keep my head down – besides being the head of an organization.
“It weighs in the back of my mind when I walk places now.”
She said it happened late at night and she never saw her attacker’s face, but that “I think the person knew who I was,” citing her position as president of the College Republicans, The Tab reports.
This incident also does not mark the first time she has been harassed for her Republican identity.
“People yell in my face all the time. I get random messages telling me what I should and should not be doing on Facebook, in my email,” Corn told the Voice. “I’ve had a history of people not liking me so much.”
She added that after she was quoted in a Cornell Daily Sun article in May saying she would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, she received death threats.
She’s tougher than a good number of GOP Senators.
She was being indoctrinated into the "diversity loving Libtards " who only speak of overcoming hate with 'Love'.
This is why the University should be renamed 'Mono-versity', since their love is predicated on you agreeing with their agenda.
Get a good lawyer, kid.
Won’t see this in the MSM. The reporters only tell us about “fake hate.”
Was she a #neverTrump er?
let’s wait a bit. This happened over a month ago and we are just recently getting the 411 ?
It would have served these people right if Hillary was elected and subsequently imported 1 million+ muslims posing as refugees.
In short order they all would have been enslaved, answering to Sharia law, wearing burkas, a gratuitous rape here and there, and having their butts high in the air five times a day.
They’ll never know how lucky they were.
The head of Cornell Repubs yet she wants to keep a low profile? Sorry, kid, life is tough. If you were assaulted, they should be prosecuted. However, if you want to get through life without any issues you should pick a different career. Also, walking alone after dark isn’t smart no matter who you are.
I attended a required sensitivity training course at a former company. We were warned about saying anything discriminatory with regards to race, sex, etc. I asked if these topics included discrimination against differing political viewpoints. The moderator had no answer for my question, as if this situation made no sense.
Coverage by MSM?
“let’s wait a bit. This happened over a month ago and we are just recently getting the 411 ?”
Yep. Hands down if she were a liberal the red flag hoax would go up. Just because she’s a republican the possibility is not fully discounted.
Isn’t tolerant Liberal so nice? New YorknTimes, will you report this?
The witchcraft of progressivism is to become the opposite of all that is good. But they cannot escape the mandate of language, which is truth.
Therefore, progressivism cannot state its intent without revealing inherent falsehood, and in every case it produces the opposite of its stated intent.
So that progressivism is the violent bigot claiming to be the altruistic liberator.
Progressivism is the thief claiming to be charitable.
The America of BHO. President Trump will not stand for this!
I’m hoping and praying that Trump does away with every one of these worthless sensitivity training courses.
Can you spell "Situational Awareness" children? Especially in a liberal environment.
Don't hold your breath. It was likely campus officials who assaulted her.
