An instructor at Washington State University who is a self-described communist allegedly physically attacked a student, along with an accomplice, for the crime of wearing a Trump themed baseball cap.
This happened in February but the victim is speaking out about the incident now because the instructor, who has been on leave, is set to return to the classroom.

Washington State Instructor Arrested for Brutally Attacking Pro-Trump StudentA Washington State instructor has been arrested after allegedly assaulting a student over their pro-Trump views—yet another disturbing example of the radical intolerance festering on college campuses. While the left preaches “tolerance” and “inclusion,” this incident exposes the growing hypocrisy in academia, where conservative voices are not just silenced but also attacked.Washington State student Jay Sani was reportedly assaulted outside a popular campus bar by instructor Patrick Mahoney and a PhD student, Gerald Hoff, for wearing a “Take America Back” supporting President Donald Trump.Sani claims that Mahoney ripped the hat off his head and mocked him by saying “Go get it, b***h,” before punching him in the back several times. Hoff then reportedly kicked Sani several times, while Mahoney grabbed him by the chest and pushed him to the ground. A police report obtained by The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH indicated that Sani was left with bruises and tried to defend himself.“Once on the ground, Mahoney grabbed Sani’s head and slammed it into the ground. Sani then moved his hands to approximately shoulder height and said something to the effect of he put his hands up to not make the fight worse. Mahoney then said ‘F**k you or f**k off’ to Sani before walking away,” the police report reads.

Despite their admissions, Mahoney claimed he did not hit Sani and said he didn’t believe he had done anything illegal. Police, however, emphasized that the incident involved unwanted physical contact. Mahoney also blamed Sani, telling officers he “got what’s coming to him.”Both Mahoney and Hoff were arrested and charged with fourth-degree misdemeanor assault.Sani said he did not know Hoff prior to the attack, but said past encounters with Mahoney may have contributed to the assault.Sani is involved with conservative student groups on campus, including Turning Point USA, while Mahoney is described as a far-left graduate student who teaches a freshman political science course. Mahoney has been active in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the city and is linked to the Democratic Socialists of America and other progressive labor groups.Mahoney also appears to be a public supporter of communism, as his official university photo includes him wearing a hammer and sickle pin.“Mahoney’s goal is to turn this country into a communist dictatorship or a communist authoritarian system,” Sani explained.

Assaulting a student should be (and is in most places) immediate grounds for dismissal for anyone in a teaching position. This instructor doesn’t belong anywhere near a college campus.
