Although Harrison retired in 2020, he held Emeritus status at the university.The post credited to Harrison read, “There is a lot of commentary about Charlie Kirk. It’s not that complicated. He was [an] evil person [spouting] all kinds of hateful messages. I did not want him to die. I reserve that wish for Trump. But let’s face it, even members of the Gestapo and guards at the concentration camps had children. That does not make them [heroes], nor does it make Charlie Kirk someone to be admired.”X post allegedly made by Jeffery Harrison./ Image courtesy of @Scottpresler/XActivist Scott Pressler, who has been at the forefront of exposing the vile reactions of leftists to the politically motivated assassination of Kirk, shared Harrison’s vile commentary.Meet Jeffrey Harrison.He’s an emeritus professor at the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law.“I did not want him [Charlie Kirk] to die.
