Gee, I wonder who tattled on her.White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders late last week said that University of Nevada, Las Vegas administrators should “look into” a professor who said that “people will die” as a result of President Donald Trump’s election.
[...]
Reached for comment by the Review-Journal, Sanders said on Friday, “It is sad she is teaching students such divisive, inaccurate and irresponsible rhetoric.” Sanders added that Winkelmann “should be ashamed of herself, and the university should look into it. What a terrible example to set for students.”

A university spokesperson told the Review-Journal, referring to Winkelmann’s remarks, that “[w]hile we respect academic freedom in the classroom and the right to free speech, we believe the comments were insensitive, especially given the series of events this week and the healing process that has begun in the community.”
And Winkelmann herself said that she regretted “that my comments caused more pain during this difficult time. Emotions were running high and I wish I would have been more thoughtful in how I directed the conversation.”
TPM
And Trump wants NFL owners to fire players for silent protests. Can we make Hitler comparisons yet? How about Stalin? Kim Jong Un?Sanders has advocated for the firing of the President’s critics before. When ESPN anchor Jemele Hill called Trump a white supremacist, Sanders said from the White House briefing room podium that the remark was “a fireable offense by ESPN.” Two days later, she stood by that judgment.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
