On Monday, Georgetown University released a statement regarding a member of their board of advisors who had tweeted that he hoped CRTV host Allie Stuckey would have a “#MeToo moment,” implying that she should be the victim of sexual harassment or assault.

The hostility displayed by Jeff Bernstein had been catalyzed by Stuckey retweeting a user who claimed sexual harassment was “a symptom of a broken legal system.” Stuckey pointed out gently:

False. The #metoo moment is a symptom of a broken world. https://t.co/xEtJVasdsN

Bernstein then tweeted:

After a firestorm broke out following Bernstein’s tweet, he removed his name from his Twitter account, changed his profile and covered photos so that they did not show his face, and erased his bio that said he was a board of director for Georgetown, according to Independent Journal Review.

Meanwhile, Stuckey tweeted:

Hi @Georgetown — someone on your MSFS board just told me he hopes I get sexually harassed or assaulted. Is this the kind of standard your university holds for your advisors? pic.twitter.com/O2CLUkYvcR

First: I have NEVER mocked assault. Second: I said it’s a symptom of a broken world, which means I take it much more seriously than someone saying it’s simply a “legal” problem to try to gain political points. Third: You just said you hope I get raped. You’re screwed.

@Georgetown @GeorgetownPD @msfsinfo Just so you guys are caught up on the conversation with the guy who wished that I would get raped or assaulted.

Also, let me get this straight: because I have different opinions this you I deserve you telling me you hope I get assaulted? I was asking for it, you’re saying? Wow. Sounds a lot like the abusers we’ve been hearing about lately.

Bernstein was initially defiant:

[[{“fid”:”29166″,”view_mode”:”default”,”fields”:{“format”:”default”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:false,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”screenshot from Twitter”},”type”:”media”,”field_deltas”:{“5”:{“format”:”default”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:false,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”screenshot from Twitter”}},”attributes”:{“title”:”screenshot from Twitter”,”class”:”media-element file-default”,”data-delta”:”5″}}]]

Bernstein finally apologized:

[[{“fid”:”29163″,”view_mode”:”default”,”fields”:{“format”:”default”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:false,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”screenshot from Twitter”},”type”:”media”,”field_deltas”:{“2”:{“format”:”default”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:false,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”screenshot from Twitter”}},”attributes”:{“title”:”screenshot from Twitter”,”class”:”media-element file-default”,”data-delta”:”2″}}]]

In the end, Stuckey tweeted:

This is the first time you’ve apologized for wishing me assault without a caveat, and only after being dragged through the mud. But I do forgive you. https://t.co/Qx5o819wpa
— Allie Beth Stuckey (@conservmillen) January 14, 2018

Mistakes happen, and I forgive you for this. But, you should learn your lesson. This is not the first time you’ve made comments like this. You are constantly trolling conservatives and called Lauren Southern “lucky sperm.” Take your own advice: words matter.

But Georgetown University’s statement read:

The Masters of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) program at Georgetown University is deeply committed to fostering the role of women in international affairs and promoting respectful dialogue and debate on the critical issues facing our world.
Encouraging, threatening or condoning violence and harassment against another person, in any form and on any format, is deeply inconsistent with the values of the program, our school and our university.
We appreciate Mr. Bernstein’s efforts to apologize for recent comments deeply inconsistent with our values and mission and have accepted his resignation from the MSFS Board of Advisors. MSFS will continue its dedication to preparing women and men for leadership roles in global affairs.
