University Under Fire for Researcher Comment Calling for Assassination of Conservatives

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The University of Washington is investigating comments made by a researcher who posted on social media, allegedly calling for the assassination of conservative voices.

Mara Maughan, who uses she/they pronouns according to her bio on the UW Fuller Labs website, is labeled as an RSE1 under the Department of Microbiology’s “research and lab staff.”

“May there be tyler robinsons for you all,” Maughan posted on Facebook in a comment directed at Educational Freedom Institute Executive Director Corey DeAngelis. . .

DeAngelis had posted a clip of a Democratic state senator in Washington state with the caption, “he can’t acknowledge that there are biological differences between men and women.”

“This kind of violent rhetoric from Mara Maughan and far too many others on the left — wishing for assassins to target conservatives like me and my family — absolutely concerns me, as it not only normalizes political violence but fuels a dangerous environment where radical ideologies in academia and beyond threaten our freedoms and safety without accountability,” DeAngelis told Fox News Digital.

A new meta-analysis from the University of Washington suggests that no amount of processed food is safe to consume.

Researchers analyzed 77 different studies to gauge the link between certain amounts of these foods and common chronic diseases.

“Habitual consumption of even small amounts of processed meat, sugary drinks and trans fatty acids is linked to increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease and colorectal cancer,” lead study author Demewoz Haile, a research scientist at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, told Fox News Digital.

“There is no safe level of habitual consumption of these food groups, so they should not be included in our daily diet,” he stated.

For processed meats in particular, the researchers concluded that eating as little as 0.6 to 57 grams per day was linked to an 11% greater likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. (Read more from “Study Reveals How Eating One Hot Dog a Day Can Impact Your Health” HERE)
