Ever since the assassination attempt on former President Trump's life, leftists have been coming out of the woodwork and claiming that the whole thing was staged to help Trump win the election - including, apparently, more than a few “educators.”
Uju Anya, an associate professor of second language acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University, suggested in a post on social media that the attempt on Trump’s life was “staged” and that the shooter was part of a “stupid show,” according to an article by Campus Reform.
Hours after the assassination attempt, Anya took to X to voice her opinion on what had happened, writing: “People dying doesn’t make the attack any less staged. Someone who thought the attack was real could’ve killed others trying to prevent harm. Also, someone could’ve shot the shooter to hide the plot.”

“They lie, and people die. That’s exactly what they do. That’s the record. Whatever ‘attack’ on him they set up to stoke his followers’ fears and sentiments, threat and persecution have now cost lives,” Anya continued.
The lack of respect and empathy shown in her comments is shocking - but not surprising, as many on the left have come out and disrespected Corey Comperatore, the Trump supporter who died during the shooting, while also downplaying a serious attempt on Trump’s life.
