Whitworth Professor: Would Killing GOP Congressman Who Voted For Trumpcare Be ‘Self-Defense’?

A Communications Studies professor at Whitworth University suggested in a tweet Friday that murdering a GOP congressman who voted for Trumpcare could be considered “self-defense.”

The professor, James McPherson, linked to a piece from Buzzfeed reporting that on Monday a woman in Tennessee identified as Wendi Wright was allegedly following a car that contained Tennessee Republican Rep. David Kustoff (pictured above), who voted for Trumpcare. When the car pulled into a driveway, Wright approached and “began screaming and striking the windows,” per the report. She also allegedly tried to prevent Kustoff from exiting the car as she yelled and cussed incoherently.
