Watch: Las Vegas professor blames shooting on Trump
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/10/17 | Guy Cohen

Posted on 10/08/2017 3:24:57 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

A lecturer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) explained on Thursday to her students that US President Donald Trump was to blame for the murderous shooting spree that took place in Las Vegas a week ago.

One of the students filmed her statements and passed the footage onto the group Campus Reform, which uploaded the footage.

“Right when he got elected, I told my classes, three semesters ago, that some of us won’t be affected by this presidency, but others are going to die,” the lecturer, Tessa Winkelmann, who teaches history, says. “Other people will die because of this. And we’ve seen this happen, right?”

Professor Winkelmann brought up Trump’s threats to use force against North Korea and explained, “Words, especially if they’re coming from someone who is the president, have consequences.”

“I don’t know that these events would have inevitably happened whether or not he got elected, but he has rhetorical powers every president has to encourage or to discourage. So far all he’s done is to encourage violence.”

According to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, one student present at the lecture said that Winkelmann’s comments polarized the classroom, and groups of students began shouting at one another.

UNLV said in response that Winkelmann’s comments were “insensitive, especially given the series of events this week and the healing process that has begun in the community.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: “It is sad she is teaching students such divisive, inaccurate and irresponsible rhetoric. She should be ashamed of herself, and the university should look into it. What a terrible example to set for students.”

She did a non-apology for predictably stupid remarks, and is still lecturing and still being taken seriously by her students and colleagues.

I guess she has no opinion on the hatred coming from the left wing media, 24/7 against our President. No one knows why Paddock decided to murder a bunch of conservative concert goers, but if I had to guess from the circumstances we know about, I would say he is someone whose values are close to the values of this woman. People like her are incredibly dishonest when they transfer blame for everything to President Trump. She should have been fired yesterday. Would anyone want their child drinking poison with meals. Well, she is poisoning their minds and it should be stopped.

Yet another self-hating leftist Jew who refuses to acknowledge Trump is the best friend Israel and Judaism have had in decades? Yet they love such as Obama, Rhodes, ValJar, Kerry, and Clinton who sold them down the river to the Muzzie terrorists. Death wish.

Another reason why this profession is as credible as the Nobel peace prize that was as good as a prize in the crackerjack box when they gave it to obama for doing nothing

It would be more accurate to say that Black Lies Matter is directly responsible for the executions of police officers, seeing as they chanted such things as “ death to pigs” and “What do we want? Dead cops When do we want them? Now!”

The left must be beside itself with happiness over this shooting, as it is taking away from the developing story of unprovoked violence by antifa, which is the left’s baby, whether or not they admit it.

I notice that everyone, both sides, seem to have forgotten a movie made about the execution by decapitation which was made about George W. That’s back when they still pretended to believe in free speech, free for them to spew all the hatred they can summon, but not free for conservatives, especially those who point out “hate facts”, otherwise known as statistics.

Statistics? Logical THINKING? What do you want from these people, REAL academic effort?

Woulda, coulda, shoulda never wrote ANY master’s or doctorate’s thesis.

Show us the will, the can, the shall. And no mincing around commas or spelling.

The hatred coming from the Left is his fault, too, because he is provoking it by disagreeing with them, and claiming that America has some connection to greatness, which it never deserved, and insisting on America defending its borders and sovereignty. That is violent because it provokes violence from the Left, which HAS to destroy America, to put paid to racism and slavery and bigotry, which only exist in America, which invented them, along with the lightbulb and television and moving pictures and gatling guns. So those trailer trash bumpkins deserved to be shot, except not with a gun, because guns are bad, because they are used to kill people, including innocent blacks who are being shot indiscriminately by policemen ever day, by the millions. So that’s why the shooting was Trump’s fault. He hates women, which is why he won’t fund abortions, too./any tabs needed to clarify?

"Another loony professor?"

Yes, and loony like a fox. These over-educated America-haters work relentlessly on young minds as they know the older, more conservative generations are not as easily persuaded and controlled.

At the University of Nevada, this fifth-columnist works assiduously, among other things, in instructing students on "U.S. Foreign Relations" plus "Women and Gender History in a Global Perspective".

PMS and cramps. Women had them before Trump was born, so it’s not his fault.

And these kids are getting into G-d knows how much loan debt to hear this B.S.?

Go look into a well-paying trade; people will always need plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc.

This professor is a complete idiot and if I were paying the tuition for my son or daughter in that class, I would stop immediately.

Why not just teach “history” and stop subjecting your students to your stupid political opinions.

Given them enough time and decreased mental capacity and they can tie Trump blame into just about anything. Keep watching......

To do that, she’d have to know history, and to know history, she’d have to unlearn all that she has been mis-taught.
