US Professor Proposes Shooting Men Who Won't Vote for Kamala Harris

A University of Kansas professor is put on administrative leave after a video surfaced of him musing to a class about lining men who don’t want to vote for Kamala Harris up against a wall and executing them. 

 

“It’s what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president”, the lecturer in the Department of Health, Sport & Exercise Sciences, whom the university later identified as Phillip Lowcock (left), complained in the clip. 

 

“We can line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don’t understand the way the world works”.

 

Lowcock, who has lectured at the university since 1993, then appeared to realize that he was being recorded. “Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording, I don’t want the dean hearing that I said that”, he remarked.

 

It comes amid criticism about violent rhetoric during the presidential campaign, following two assassination attempts made on Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate.

 

Footage of the moment quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage, though the class had no audible reaction to the man’s comments. 

 

The University of Kansas said in an October 09, 2024 statement that it was “aware” of the video and said the instructor had “made an inappropriate reference to violence”.

 

Lowcock’s comments echo those made by Madeline Albright (left), the former secretary of state, when Hillary Clinton ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

 

“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other”, she had said.
