A Pennsylvania congressman has sent a strongly worded letter to the University of Pennsylvania's president, urging the dismissal of a left-wing professor for her controversial social media activity. The congressman, GOP Rep. Dan Meuser, specifically targeted Cinema & Media Studies professor Julia Alekseyeva for her online posts that seemingly praised Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Meuser's letter highlighted Alekseyeva's remarks connecting Mangione to the university and her description of him as 'the icon we all need and deserve.' The congressman expressed deep concern over the professor's actions, labeling them as 'outrageous' and contrary to the values of a civilized society.
