Far-left Washington University instructor gets ''relieved of all teaching responsibilities'' after arrest footage leaks

[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Far-left Washington University instructor gets "relieved of all teaching responsibilities" after arrest footage leaks

Patrick Mahoney was seen on camera beating up an Indian-American student in a MAGA hat prior to his visit by police.
Tweet of the policeman’s bodycam footage. Almost half an hour, revealing the full breadth and depth of the WU instructor’s vicious idiocy, not to mention an awfully limited vocabulary for an academic, though he has all possible unimaginative variations of f*ck.
Background from the Post Millennial:
In February, WSU junior Jay Sani was getting takeout in Pullman, Washington’s historic College Hill district when he was allegedly ambushed and assaulted by Patrick Mahoney and Gerald Hoff.

Sani told The Discovery Institute’s Jonathan Choe that he doesn’t know Hoff but has a history with Mahoney, who is on the opposite end of the political spectrum. Sani is a Republican who volunteers with conservative groups on campus like Turning Point USA. Mahoney is a WSU graduate student and instructor who teaches political science classes.

Mahoney is a notorious far-left activist who hates conservative values and is a regular at pro-Hamas protests in the city. Recently, he was part of a group that was pressuring the Pullman City Council to pass a symbolic ceasefire resolution for the Israel-Hamas War. The proposal went nowhere. Mahoney also has strong ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and progressive labor groups and publicly touts his admiration for the communist party, including wearing a hammer and sickle pin in his official school portrait.

#4  His unemployment will be brief. Bet he doesn’t put his next gig on LinkedIn.

#2  It appears this was not tenure-track material. Poor guy, should have read the manual more closely for the part which says, "Don't get caught!"

#1  Ahem: That's Washington State University in, er, Washington state. Washington University is inexplicably in St. Louis.
