Infamous climate scientist Michael Mann resigns Penn role after Charlie Kirk 'Hitler' posts

Climate scientist Michael Mann has resigned from the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) after fallout from controversial comments he posted following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Mann went on a social media spree in the wake of the murder, sarcastically describing the assassination as "white on white violence" and reposting multiple inflammatory remarks about the conservative leader, including one that referred to Kirk as the "head of Trump's Hitler Youth." Despite later attempting to backtrack, Mann has now resigned from his role as Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action.

"I have reluctantly come to the position that the science policy advocacy work I am doing … at times feels in conflict with the nonpartisan role demanded of me as an administrator at a university with an established institutional neutrality policy," Mann wrote in a statement on his personal website. "Particularly at this moment in time, I don't feel that I can forsake the public scholarship and advocacy that I am doing and have thus decided to step down from the VPC role."

WOW! A 2X POS. False hocky sticks to not really caring much for Christians. I'm sure he's comfortable regardless of the path he goes down.

“Mann was previously sanctioned by a judge for knowingly providing misleading information to a jury in a defamation case against his conservative critics.”

Yet Penn still allowed him to work...

The clown is one of the most famous liars in the history of mankind.

The fact that any university would employ him is a condemnation of our entire education system.

This part of the operation is called, “Take the Money and Run.”

Charlie’s murder was the rip-cord for the bail-out of a lot of Lefty Libs.

Now, Trump just has to stabilize the dollar...

Translation: (at least IMHO) The Trump admin has been scaling back funding on climate “research” and UPenn was already looking for an excuse to cut the bloat. Mann’s posts about Kirk gave UPenn the excuse they needed.

Another leftist activist posing as a scientist. There is no shortage of these haters and liars, they supported the ridiculous climate hoax for decades and kept themselves in a paycheck because of their lies.

Excess is its own reward...

Over-the-top ad hominem attacks deserve all the opprobrium that it is possible to heap upon them.

Commie standard operating procedure. Lying is expected, but never make the cause look bad, and never trip over which way the political wind blows.

Did he bother to point out Trump’s concentration camps or Jewish Ghettoes?

Mann has destroyed more of the world than Hitler and Stalin combined.
