A professor at Georgia Southern University has declared that “people have already died” because of Donald Trump — adding that the media must pressure him to resign or else “dangerous individuals” will “kill and maim.”
A linguistics and writing professor, Jared Yates Sexton, made the comments on Twitter on Saturday, and screenshots of them were obtained by Campus Reform.
According to Sexton, the media “must push against that impulse to juice impeachment for profit,” and start pressuring Trump to resign instead — or else a bunch of bloodthirsty maniacs will be the end of us all.
“Trump is going to try everything, Fox is going to try everything, and they’re going to both further the injuring of societal reality and inspire dangerous individuals to kill and maim,” he stated.
“There’s a vast number of people in this, people who have been taught their whole lives that they might need to kill in case of a coup or corrupt takeover,” Sexton continued. “Trump and Republicans signal to them constantly. They’re more than ready to see this as the occasion.”
Sexton then reiterated the need for the media to “assert pressure” on Trump “to resign so we can avoid this story going to a place that risks lives.”
“People have already died,” he stated. “More will if this crisis isn’t dismantled carefully.”
Now, Campus Reform later interviewed Sexton, and his comments there perhaps (and only perhaps) seem like a bit (but only a bit) of a walkback from his original tweets — although he certainly did double down on his view that Trump is “dangerous.” In the interview, though, Sexton clarified that he doesn’t believe that people will “die simply because Trump remains in office,” but that he does “believe there is a danger in President Trump and Republicans continually mentioning coups and civil wars as history, both recent and past, shows that individuals do kill when rhetoric like this permeates media.”

Now this one is seriously unhinged.

And the state pays him to peddle his pablum to mush-heads?
A professor of linguistics (whatever that is) and he can't form a cogent, coherent, sentence.

Not if he's referring to antifa.

I have enough guns and ammo to arm several people. But where to find those who are reliable and not looking to turn you in to score points. ;)
