Prof. who called for senators’ ‘miserable death’ to take leave Professor Christine Fair

A Catholic university professor’s tweets that white Republican men should die a “miserable death” for supporting Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court are more than just about free speech, the head of Students for Life of America has warned.

“Recommending violence, death and mutilation for members of Congress is not a simple ‘free speech’ moment,” according to Kristan Hawkins. “It’s a debasement of our free market place of ideas and a recommendation for criminal conduct.”

In a tweet Georgetown University’s Christine Fair said that white Republican men deserve “miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps”. The university and Prof. Fair have now reportedly agreed to the academic taking leave.
