Less than 24 hours after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University, a furious left-wing professor took to social media to criticize the slain conservative leader.
Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire. She is also a core faculty member in women’s studies.
In a response to an opinion column penned by Ezra Klein in The New York Times titled “Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way,” in which Klein highlighted that Kirk engaged with people who disagreed with his political views, Prescod-Weinstein unloaded on both Klein and Kirk.
“Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics,” she said in a Sept. 11 post on Bluesky. “I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total f—ing ghoul.”

“See the other thing about working for the New York Times is that means not having a real editor who will say ‘are you sure you wanna do that?’ And actually, editors are good,” she said in a following post. “Anyway, Ezra Klein now on record saying one of the 21st century’s most ardent white supremacists did politics the right way.”
Prescod-Weinstein continuously shares her open anti-conservative bias on Bluesky.
After news of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s death on Monday, she amplified a post by another Bluesky user claiming Republicans are cult members. She also frequently reposts vocal supporters of socialist New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
UCHICAGO SILENT ON ANTI-ICE PROFESSOR’S EMPLOYMENT STATUS MONTH AFTER ARREST ON VIOLENT FELONIES
In response to the 2020 murder of George Floyd, Prescod-Weinstein and a fellow professor at the University of Chicago, Brian Nord, organized a “#StrikeforBlackLives,” encouraging scientists worldwide to pause their work, cancel classes and reschedule meetings in order to spend the day taking action against racism.
“This is not about identifying with a minority or marginalized group or diversity and inclusion,” Prescod-Weinstein and Nord explained in a letter about the strike’s purpose. “This moment is about Black people and the conditions under which we live and work. It is about how white supremacy pervades my professional spaces as well as my life outside of them.”
The University of New Hampshire and Prescod-Weinstein did not return requests for comment.
