‘To argue this is a threat against Trump is very dishonest,’ professor says
A climate professor from the University of Pennsylvania suggested the country is in “second amendment territory” if President Donald Trump does not comply with a federal judge’s ruling to halt the dismantling of the Education Department.
“If Trump doesn’t comply, we’re in second amendment territory,” Professor Michael Mann wrote on Bluesky on Thursday, prompting backlash.
Several high-profile observers took it to mean he was calling for armed resistance, and he has since deleted his post, Headline USA reported.
“The second amendment refers to the right of the people to rise up and defend democracy,” he wrote in a second post Friday. “To argue this is a threat against Trump is very dishonest.”
“Hi @FBI, this climate scientist and professor at @Penn appears to be calling to kiII Trump and Trump officials,” Libs of TikTok wrote on X in response to the post.
