University of Virginia Assistant Professor Sethunya Mokoko took a break from teaching students to get the word out this week that the entire assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump was a staged event for suckers. Mokoko explained that it was just a ploy to get the votes of “idiots.” He, however, is available to offer sage-like clarity that the Secret Service, local police, and the Trump campaign conspired to fake the assassination, kill a bystander, and seriously wound others to get the sucker vote. He is not alone in this theory while others on the left are simply bemoaning that Thomas Matthew Crooks missed.
In his tweet, Mokoko said that security ”ignored [Crooks] because trump & secrete service staged theatrics to win idiots’ vote.”
So let me get the conspiracy down. The Secret Service allowed a kid who flunked out of the high school shooting club as a bad shot to fire multiple rounds at the former president from a sloped roof at 130 yards in the hope that he would only wing him?
Mokoko previously taught at Clemson University, Gold West College, Long Beach City College and University of California, Long Beach, according to his Linkedin page.
His faculty bio states that Mokoko teaches “Race, Rhetoric, and Social Justice” and “Writing about Culture and Society.” His focus is “teaching students to appreciate and value social justice rhetorics across media; to become rhetorically listening writers, readers, and viewers; and to understand how global rhetorics shape and define agency and identification.”
He is not alone. Within minutes of the assassination attempt, the staging theory was going viral and has been picked up by many on the left. For example, actress Amanda Seales took to social media to claim that Trump used fake stage blood and sound effects to stage his assassination attempt.
“That sh** was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of Madea Runs for President. I lived in Harlem long enough to know that gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove.”
She does not explain how local fireman Corey Comperatore died from the fake bullets.
Others fueled the stage conspiracy theory.
Tennessee state Rep. Antonio Parkinson posted a statement that “I certainly hope this is not a staged act. But.”
Colorado state Rep. Steve Woodrow, D-Denver, declared “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.”
Aberdeen, Wash., Mayor Douglas Orr declared “The shooter is dead so we will never know if this was staged. I hope I’m wrong, but because of his record of deceit, that’s the first thing that came to mind.”
Still others accepted that the shooting was real, but complain that Crooks should not have missed. Bellarmine University English instructor John James posted on Instagram: “If you’re gonna shoot, man, don’t miss.”
Jack Black’s Tenacious D partner Kyle Gass made a wish while performing with Black that the next assassination would not miss. Various people joined in on regretting that the assassination was not successful.
This is the very face of the age of rage and shows how it is both addictive and contagious.
Universities have become the central cesspool for indoctrination.
Some people make outrageous, unbelievable comments just to stir the pot. Others make comments that they do not consider to be outrageous because they believe them. It’s hard to say which category Mokoko is in, but in my book, he/she/they/it Mokoko is meshuga
Alter kocker.
I don’t buy that for a minute. This is a false situation to make “light” of a fact that was off by less than an inch. I am NOT ruling out Administration Suspicion, not unlike the now-known facts about the death of JFK.
This “person” is making me embarrassed to be a Wahoo. I was a Poli Sci major at UVA (yes, 3 decades ago) and loved my profs even if I didn’t agree with them. Their ideas weren’t absurd.
In my day, we certainly didn’t have idiot profs like this! The Left and Democrats are bordering on insane, yet we can’t put them in an asylum and instead our universities are paying them.
And the left says that Conservatives are low information voters. The left are the ones who “elected Joe Biden’ who is about as low information as you can get. Not even sterling academics from kindergarten on up and now what brain he did have has either been removed by his neurosurgery or has ceased functioning. I think his brain just simply quit as it felt it was no longer useful to him. His body is on cruise control. You know he sort of walks like a marionette. Is it Parkinson’s or the invisible wires that occasionally get crossed up. The mouth opens and closes and noises come out. Sometimes they are understandable words but rarely sentences. “Battle Box”? How appropriate!

Is that cultural appropriation by the Soviet Democrats and their Marxist Useful Idiot apparatchiks?
Because it was a signature line of Rush Limbaugh to call Soviet Democrats, “progressives”, socialists, Marxists, communists (but like Mark Twain I repeat myself) to call them low information voters.
These people are just sick!
Jonathan: As a prelude to Dennis McIntyre arriving at work today to use your comments section for his off topic personal blog, a question:
When will Dennis McIntyre explain to us why we should feel comfortable with Biden using “the smartest guy I know”, his drug addict, pervert felon son, as his closest Oval Office advisor?
When Biden was sentient, he shared the classified information he stole over 40 years with his crackhead kid and their ChiCom and Russian customers. Now that he is only just barely sentient, why should we feel confident that Biden won’t share the nuclear codes with his primary advisor the same as he’s shared stolen classified documents previously?
We are a country currently being run by a corrupt duo of sexual perverts whose business customers are ChiComs and Russians, one a convicted felon and the other an unindicted felon found guilty but given a pass by his own hand picked prosecutor from his own DoJ.

Joe Biden stating that someone is the “smartest person he knows” is an incredibly low bar. “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” would be high art if we used Joe Biden’s criteria of measuring or assessing anything.
Alex Jones was ruined – $1,000,000,000.00 civil judgement for saying the Sandy Hook shooting was staged. Of course, as all Democrats know, some people are above the law.
The victims of this shooting should sue the so-called professor.

“Despite public reports of a gunman, despite snipers seeing him, despite law enforcement identifying and photographing the shooter, the Secret Service kept Trump on the stage and didn’t lift a finger until after he was shot and an innocent man was dead.
Who gave the order to do nothing until after the gunman fired multiple rounds?”
____________
Why, when SS and local LE knew there was a gunman ON the roof, did SS not immediately get Trump off the stage?
Did they fail at protecting Trump?
Or did they fail at assassinating Trump, his brains blown out of his head on live TV?
The Deep State is real, folks.
Re: “The Deep State is real, folks…” ….and, if one consider the border policies of the current administration, and the smug, self-satisfied look on the face of the DHS Secretary when he tell the citizenry that the border is secure, as he oversees its re-making, one becomes convinced that ‘The Deep State’ protects its own as Schumer tossed the House impeachment. .
It’s clear why ‘the nutty professor’ has not returned to South Africa to make them the beneficiaries of his profound understanding of the universe and how it works. There’s no money in it outside the ivory tower walls.
From Kamala Harris speaking about the BLM/Antifa riots. “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up—and they should not. And we should not.” Thirty five people dead, 1500 police officers injured, a burned courthouse, businesses destroyed, an historical church set on fire and the Whitehouse grounds breached by rioters. Kamala declared that it must continue and she promised that bail for the perpetrators would be forthcoming. But, but, but January 6 they bellow. First they tell us that the whole thing was staged and in the next breath they say they wished the shooter hadn’t missed. Who’s the danger to democracy?
Incredibly disturbing to understand that there are people with definite brain damage inflates and jobs that affect other people. Comments such as Jack Blacks should be actionable as crimes. There’s where free speech ends. It ends with the images and words produced by homicidal maniacs.
Mr. Turley, the standard is: If you’ve said it you’ve done it. This includes so called comedy. Kathy Griffen should have been prosecuted and others also. The subconscious doesn’t have humor. Griffen’s subconscious and those she affected actually believe in the bloody beheading whether they know it or not.
Sleepy joe and little Marco chiding is a far cry from the violence perpetrated by the progressive extremists and it includes death to America incendiary rhetoric.
That is the standard.
I must concur with your report. It seems one huge difference in America in the last two decades is our apparent immunity to the finality of death. Not that long ago, the near death of any person of high political stature would create a pause in vitriol for weeks, at least. Now, the pause is measured in hours, and not many of those. Even the language has changed. A conspiracy now implies acceptance of murdering a supporter, and a bullseye now means a focus of attention. Freedom of speech has been given waivers for some special groups while denied to others.
So, they staged it to get sucker votes, and just ignore the retired Firefighter who used his own body to protect his wife and daughter who died and injured two others?
I would call that a Blue anaon conspiracy theory.
Sue this guy for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
It’s the face of rage, but also the face of gullibility and ignorance. The Democrats seem to have a penchant for falling for conspiracy theories, Russiagate being only the most blatant…at least until now. To even toy with the notion that this assassination attempt was staged reveals such a low level of intelligence, and such a lack of understanding about current events that, in this age of information, boggles the mind. Yet, these are the same people who are in denial about Biden’s failures as a president and his cognitive disease. Maybe they’re waiting for JFK to return and save the party at the convention — since, by their own logic, his assassination could have been staged also.
Democrats seem to have perfected the craft of group-think. They may offer various routes to their shared “truth” but the end result is a unified stand and to hell with facts.
And this individual believes, fervently I assume, that we are the idiots. This is what happens to academics when they wallow in their own self-indulgences and induced hypocrisy…
(and/or self-images of grandiosity to “save Democracy [sic]”
They saw this “kid” aka “terrorist” long time before he started shooting. After he started shooting he took him out. The SS-snipers had him in the cross-hairs when he pulled the trigger. Stupidity? FBI conspiracy? Local police conspiracy? Looks a bit like JFK-shooting.
The deep state is running out of options. Expect more BS.
doesn’t sound like this guy is in his right mind if you ask me. First of all, Trump would never do that. Second of all I don’t think the SS would nor the local police either.
Nice piece today at boriquagato.substack.com addresses the assassination attempt and the likelihood that this was simply a security failure… https://open.substack.com/pub/boriquagato/p/hanlons-razor-unpacking-plotlines?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=12u2f7
Calling all idiots, new post, so let loose, show us how stupid you are.
