Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Credit: AP/Susan Walsh) White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wants the University of Las Vegas to investigate one of its professors after she strongly criticized President Donald Trump and the consequences of his election in the days after the city had went through a mass shooting. Recordings of assistant professor Tessa Winkelmann showed her speaking to her class where she explained the president’s violent rhetoric and the power of his words. “Right when he got elected, I told my classes, three semesters ago, that some of us won’t be affected by this presidency, but others are going to die,” Winkelmann said in the video, obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Other people will die because of this.” One student was “dumbfounded” and said the professor’s comments were “appalling,” in the wake of the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas, the Review-Journal reported. “He’s [Trump] threatened to declare violence against North Korea and other places,” the professor added.
