U. Penn Prof Apologizes After Seemingly Praising Murder of Healthcare CEO

“I do not condone violence and I am genuinely regretful of any harm the posts have caused”

It’s astonishing how this story exposed the left as a bloodthirsty mob.

Celebrated UPenn professor apologizes for seemingly praising CEO’s murder

An English professor at the University of Pennsylvania apologized this week for creating social media posts that appeared to celebrate the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Professor Julia Alekseyeva (pictured), who recently received an award for teaching, issued the apology Tuesday on X.

“Late last night I posted a TikTok, as well as several stories on my Instagram. These were completely insensitive and inappropriate, and I retract them wholly. I do not condone violence and I am genuinely regretful of any harm the posts have caused,” the professor wrote.

The posts in question appeared to celebrate alleged murderer Luigi Mangione, 26, after reports identified him as a graduate of the Ivy League university. Mangione allegedly shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO last week outside of a New York City hotel.

In a series of now-deleted posts on Instagram and TikTok, Alekseyeva appeared to praise Mangione.

As USA Today reports:

In an Instagram story that went viral this week, [Alekseyeva] appears to refer to Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Penn grad, as the “icon we all need and deserve.” …

Alekseyeva also appears in a TikTok video next to the caption: “have never been prouder to be a professor at the University of P3nnsylvania.” On the video, she moves her finger to the beat of a song from “Les Miserables” about [“angry” revolutionaries] rising up in battle. Screenshots and recordings of the posts and videos were recirculated by a conservative account on X, formerly Twitter.

Sorry. Do college professors think at all, or at least before they post? I’ve known some who probably would. Some people in both parties are educated far beyond their intelligence.

In nature, oftentimes fauna will display colors or behavior to demonstrate dangerousness and unpredictability along with anti-social intent. It’s the same in Academia and human females
