A former adjunct professor at George Mason University ignited a backlash on Twitter this week when he argued that Americans need to “actively topple” the government if Donald Trump wins November’s presidential election.
Former George Mason University instructor and academic David A. Walsh came under fire this week for a series of tweets in which he called on Americans to take down the government if President Trump wins reelection next week.
“Here’s the thing: if the worst-case scenario happens next week, Americans don’t need to just “protest.” They need to actively try to topple the government,” Walsh wrote in a tweet.
“Also worth noting that the military has already made it clear that in such a scenario, they’re not going to back Trump,” Walsh added.
Walsh’s faculty profile page is no longer active on George Mason’s website. In a cached version of Walsh’s faculty profile from October 10, he is listed as an adjunct faculty member. His faculty profile claims that he did his dissertation on the “far right and the origins of the American conservative movement.
In a tweet, George Mason Univesity said that Walsh no longer teaches at the university. Moreover, the university wrote that they don’t agree with Walsh’s statements.
“Contrary to earlier reports, @DavidAstinWalsh does not teach for @GeorgeMasonU nor is he a Mason faculty member,” the university wrote in a tweet. “He did teach one class as a part-time instructor last year, but he is no longer an employee of the University. That said, we do not agree with his statement.”

A civil war? Sounds good, it could be the only thing to get the country back on track. No doubt who’ll win.
LOL!!!!
So Twitter won’t censor that huh? But they censored the head of the border guard today for hateful speech when he talked about the new border wall
He needs to be removed along with his pension
Former and adjunct are about as much distance as you can get.
That’s part of a convoy of 100+ Trump vehicles that have been following the Biden Bus of Doomage *all day long* in Dallas — the bus was even running red lights to try to shake them off.
WOW, such a pretty sounding name. I expected a pleasant looking individual, instead;
That’s like calling a skunk’s defensive fluid, Muguet Des Bois.
Look up the words, “topple the government”.
Shouldn’t Twitter ban him for promoting the overthrow of the government?
Shutdown DC? I am totally ok with that.
since they have a website, they are NOT LEADERLESS... RICO THEIR AZZ!!!
These guys all have the same look.
Pencil-necked soy based life forms.
Sure, but there are still plenty of tenured professors there who agree with him; they’re just smart enough not to say it out loud to the general public.
Adjuncts tend to be low-paid and don’t get ‘pensions’.
They don’t even necessarily have a PhD.
Professor...University....nough said.
Wow. I recall that 30 or so years ago, George Mason was considered a conservative school.
George Mason refused to sign the Constitution so maybe George Mason University doesn't care if its faculty support the American constitutional system.
Imagine the strength of his principles given how he has exposed himself to possible attack by his enemies if hostility should break out. He will be on the front lines, proudly proclaiming his allegiance to a different system and ignoring the many armed people who might oppose him.
In case a new system is actually imposed on the American people, there will be statues erected to those like David Walsh who put themselves in immediate jeopardy and absorbed the anger and hatred of his enemies.
His epitaph may well read, "Here lies the bravest of the brave who sought to overthrow the government and gave his life in support of his principles. He will be an inspiration to others who may be less willing to be so open about their willingness to kill or be killed in a Second American Revolution.
Will David Walsh fire the first shot? Only time will tell. If David wishes to earn this distinction he may have to act quickly after having so clearly identified himself to his enemies. What a proud moment for him.
PAM !!! WE NEED MORE PAM !!
