PSU associate professor Zach Furness hoped that Trump would be “Lincoln’d”
A Penn State associate professor reportedly called for the deaths of prominent right-wing voices, including President Trump, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson. The story was first reported by Andy Ngo of The Post Millennial, who shared screenshots of violent tweets allegedly sent by the professor.
Zach Furness, an associate professor of communications at Penn State, reportedly sent the tweets in question in reply to the popular “crazy a** moments in American history” Twitter account. On March 26, the account shared a photo of President Trump tossing out paper towels to Puerto Ricans whose community had been decimated by Hurricane Maria. Furness reportedly replied to the tweet saying that Trump should have been “Lincoln’d” moments after the photo, according to Ngo. The reply was in reference to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
