A faculty member at the University of Kansas has been placed on administrative leave following remarks suggesting that men who do not support Vice President Kamala Harris due to her gender should face violent consequences. “We could line all those guys up and shoot them,” he said in a recently leaked video.
What frustrates me [is] there are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president, because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president,” the University of Kansas professor said during a recently recorded lecture.
“We could line all those guys up and shoot them,” the professor continued. “They clearly don’t understand the way the world works.”
“Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording,” the professor added. “I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that.”
Watch:
🚨HOLY SHT!
A University of Kansas professor just blatantly said men “who won’t vote for Kamala” should be lined up and SH0T!
