Cornell Prof: Blame Tea Party for Backlash Against Cartoons Depicting GOP as Terrorists, Molesters
Faculty at Cornell’s ILR School are really flexing their spin-doctor muscle here.
In a Cornell Sun article published Monday about the cartoons displayed in the ILR School depicting the GOP as ISIS terrorists and molesters, and one featuring a swastika, an ILR professors was quoted saying Republicans, and the Tea Party specifically, are at fault for infringing on freedom of speech because some students of unknown political leanings voiced complaints about the cartoons. The cartoon featuring the swastika was also ripped off the wall by an unknown person of unknown political leanings.
“We’ve invited people who’ve been much more provocative than the two we invited this time, but I think the times have changed so that people on the right are emboldened, because of perhaps by the Tea Party or others,” said ILR professor Kate Bronfenbrenner according to the Cornell Sun.
