Fresno State University said they will fully cooperate with any federal investigation after a professor posted a series of Twitter messages calling for President Trump to be hanged and for Republicans to be executed.
To save American democracy, Trump must hang, Professor Lars Maischak wrote on his Twitter account in February. The sooner and the higher, the better.
Has anyone started soliciting money and design drafts for a monument honoring the Trump assassin, yet? the professor asked in an earlier tweet.
Fresno State President Joseph Castro said the professors comments, first reported by Breitbart News, warrant further review and consideration.
Professor Maischaks personal views and commentary, with its inclusion of violent and threatening language, is obviously inconsistent with the core values of our University, Castro wrote on the universitys website.
The review of these and any other statements will be conducted in the context of rights of free expression, but also for potential direct threats of violence that may violate the law, he added.
Maischak, who is a history lecturer, also went after Republicans tweeting, Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.
Maischak told Fox26 News he was appalled that the president of the university is allowing himself to be instrumentalized for a right-wing smear campaign.
Specifically, the suggestion that I had made potential direct threats of violence that may violate the law is unwarranted, he wrote. It constitutes an embrace by the university of the claims made by right-wing propaganda outlets.
The professor is not a big fan of the right-wing media.
The function of articles like the one produced by Breitbart and affiliates is to whip up a digital lynch-mob of people sending threats and insults to my email and Twitter accounts, with the ultimate goal of silencing dissenters, he told the newspaper.
He went on to say he does not condone violence even though thats exactly what he advocated in his Twitter feed.
From the context of the entirety of my tweets, this should be evident to anyone reading them in good faith (as opposed to malicious intent), he said.
In other words, hes taking the It all depends on what the definition of hang is defense.
To say the professor is a prolific tweeter might be an understatement. Consider these gems:

What would you do if your country has been hijacked by a gang of crazed homicidal fanatics? You storm the cockpit #Flight93
Mercy towards racists was always the fatal weakness of good Americans. 1865, 1965, they left too many of them alive.
If only Mary had had an abortion! We would have been spared this Clerical-Fascist crap. #His Glory my ass!
You Fascist Trump-voting white trash scum can wallow in your filthy hell-holes of flyover states. Enjoy.
Republican students at Fresno State have every right to be deeply concerned about their safety and well-being inside that mans classroom.
Thats why I believe Professor Maischak should be fired immediately.
And should Fresno State University decide to retain his services, we should call on the federal government to defund the school. Theres no good reason for our tax dollars to pay the salary of a man who wants to execute the president.
So Fresno State should be given a choice: either fire the professor or lose federal funding.
Fag
Why would they fire him? It’s not like he chewed a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun. /s
Looks like fascist white trash to me.
Does it have a pony tail?
Does it have a pony tail?
Fresno unlike a lot of Californicating cities is a conservative city.
May be Jim can have some fellow patriots visit the university in a peaceful manner and demand that this traitor be fired.
Letters from locals can have a big impact on the job future of this left wing hater.
If he just has a green card and is making threats, can he get sacked AND the boot back to Larsland?
He’s most likely Northern European, like Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. Lars are northern European names. He could also be from Northern Germany like the area below Denmark. They are quite known to be snobbish.
The far bigger problem is what this “professor” said about the Lord Jesus Christ and his mother.
I would Not want to be in his shoes come Judgment Day.
Now why do I doubt that that statement is anything but CYA?
This is Herbert Marcuse 101: standard operating procedure for graduates of The Frankfurt School.
I wonder what type of ‘history’ this delusional fool was teaching?
I just read what he said about our Lord Jesus and his mother. I have never read anything so evil.
I’ve read worse but not often
Bye bye to tenure for sure.
Made. An. Example.
Not clear. However...
It obviously is a horse's @$$.
