University of Louisville professor Ricky Jones wrote in an op-ed that Republicans should “be forced to shut the hell up” about the Capitol Hill attack unless they denounce their former support of President Donald Trump.
“Republicans, you should not be allowed to speak about being shocked by President Donald Trump or the recent right-wing raid in Washington, D.C., for your words ring hollow,” wrote Jones, who is the chair of the Pan-African Studies department.
“You all should be forced to shut the hell up unless whatever you have to say begins with, ‘I’m sorry.’ You should not be allowed to condemn Trump or attempt to distance yourselves from him unless you begin with, ‘I have helped him, and I’m sorry,’” he wrote.
Because of their support for their “lord and savior” Donald Trump, Jones demanded that Republicans admit their support and apologize.
“You ALL should apologize because you all are guilty,” he added.
After quoting University of Connecticut professor Jeffrey Ogbar’s assertion that Trump is a “pathological liar” who assembled “a collection of unqualified, corrupt and odious characters” into his administration, Jones added that “Trump is a liar, racist, demagogue and madman.”
“But you Republicans, you so-called conservatives, were just fine with it,” he commented. “You loved it all. Yes, you loved him deeply, supported him unfailingly, demonized anybody who opposed him and rode shotgun with that maniac for the last four years. Don’t stop now — KEEP RIDING!”
Jones blamed Republicans for gaslighting “those racist, neo-Confederate foot soldiers for years”: “You are their benefactors. You are their champions,” he said. “You are their friends. Their acts are your responsibility and your shame.”
Campus Reform reached out to Jones for comment; this article will be updated accordingly.

As a retired professor let me state this professor is an embarrassment to the profession and to the university. Let me state the obvious, : Professor Jones, no Mr. Jones as you do not warrant the distinguished title, heed your own advice and “shut the hell up”.
I agree with you!!! Mr. Jones Should Shut The Hell Up!!!!
Perhaps “pan Africa” would be a better place for this fascist to reside. In case he might’ve forgotten in all his blood lust over the cheat and win election, this is STILL America and we will always speak out. Our freedom to speak is not given by the government or by radical university professors with chips on their shoulders. It’s a God given right, and one my father died protecting.
The election was rigged in multiple states and by multiple tactics. Nobody in their right mind believes Joe Biden, dementia central, got over 80 million votes. Nobody.
AMEN!!!!
IT’S AMAZING HOW THE LEFT, can condemn the ONE, AND IT IS JUST ONE, BAD INCIDENT AT THE CAPITOL, BY OVER ZEALOUS REPUBS. YES, ONE!! THE VIDEO OF BLACK BUSINESS OWNERS CRYING IN THE STREETS BECAUSE OTHER BLACK ‘PEACEFUL PROTESTORS’ CAME INTO THEIR SHOPS AND STORES AND DESTROYED THEM, SHOULD WAKE UP MORE. ONE BLACK LADY, SAID FLOYD HAS GONE ON TO A BETTER WORLD, BUT THE BLM ARE COMING AFTER THE COMMUNITY, NOT THE POLICE, NOT THE LAW, BUT THEIR OWN!!! WHY??? THE BLM LEADERS GOT RICH, FROM DONATIONS, BUT THE MONEY, HASN’T HELPED THE COMMUNITIES ONE BIT!! PLEASE WAKE UP, THE LEFT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE USING THE YOUTH TO TEAR DOWN YOUR OWN AREAS. YOUR FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING THEIR WRATH, STILL ANTAGONIZED ON BY THE LEFT MACHINE WHOSE LEADERS ARE THE ONLY ONES TO PROFIT!!! BLM LEADERS DID. THE LITTLE GUYS PAY THE PRICE ONCE AGAIN. COMMUNITIES, FIGHT TO KEEP OUT THE RADICALS, THE ONES WHO DESTROYED THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS. FAMILIES TAKE BACK YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PROTECT YOUR OWN, YOUR KIDS, YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUR CHURCHES,
YOUR BUSINESSES, YOUR LIVLIHOODS. YOU WORKED HARD, ALL YOUR LIFE, FOR YOUR PLACE, AS AN AMERICAN, AND DESERVE TO BE ALLOWED TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL WHO WERE DAMAGED IN THE RIOTS, ALL RIOTS. WE NEED PEACE. NOW.
No reparations for him
He needs to shut the hell up..who the hell does he think he is..a lot more Republicans then he will ever know! A professor! You wonder who really is teaching our children..we don’t need hypocrites like him! He just doesn’t have a clue.. I would think that some of these Republicans would have the guts to stand up to these Democrats. Why haven’t they started impeachment’s on these Democrats. Boy they sure didn’t waste time on Trump over nothing! We have so much corruption on Biden and he and a lot other Democrats committed TREASON big time! Where are these Republicans..do your job ,you get paid to do instead of sitting on your asses and collecting your pay for doing nothing!
Because democrats run congress, and the whitehouse. I feel the same way you do.Its all talk no action on the republicans side so it seems.
My response is that ALL Democrats are responsible for the blatant cheating that put that bumbling puppet in the White House.
As as I just typed “White House”, the thought occurred to me how totally racist the term “White House” is. When will the woksters start clamoring to remove that term in the name of social correctness?
Don’t put any ideas in their warped little heads
A conservative professor, if one exists, would have been fired on the spot for such a view point.
Jones, who is the chair of the Pan-African Studies department.
That says it all, he’s one of those made up token BS departments to hit racial quotas. His PHD is worth about as much as a overnight stock checker at walmart….no offense to stock checkers…
Wasn’t at the capital, am a Republican, come make me you dirty lying jackass…
Hey now i see he put his feet (both of them) in his mouth before he knew the facts. Just like a boy in a sand box digging for kitty dropings.
This guy is the one who needs to shut the hell up. Only going to get his ppl in more trouble and more killings. Its ppl like him and the democratic party that is directly responsible for everything that happened this past 4 years for attacking and spying on an innocent man and still has not stopped. But they will only self destruct as we see here. Let them seof destruct. I see trump land sliding back in office real soon.
Ricky Jones is a “professor” of what? Another brainless academic trying to justify his employment for the fact he can’t do anything else. The sad part is, people will take his class and incur deeper debt to listen to this mindless prattle.
Trump for Florida US Senate in 2022! President in 2024! Hagerty and Blackburn are you loving Mitch McConnell trashing your Tennessee voters? Why aren’t you calling for Mitch to resign leadership as the gop leader? Graham has called Mitch out for making it hard on GOP candidates? Do you fear the Washington swamp and rino establishment more than voting for the hardworking Tennesseans? Does Mitch represent how Tennesseans feel about Trump? Please publicly explain yourself? MAGA!
I am surprised he would bring up the subject of force. Because there are a lot of things that need forced back into whatever hole they crawled out of. I think the government is woefully unprepared for the war these guys are attempting to start and it will make the war of the 1860’s pale in comparison. Heaven only knows who will survive but I’m betting on America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Not the communist utopia that these guys are trying to bring forth on this continent. Professors like this will have to find other work. Perhaps manual labor as befits the needs of the country since we will no longer need socialist teachers.
So I have one question Sir! Who is going to force me to shut up? I don’t think you have either the ability or the backbone.
You can put a cheap bigot full of hate in a $3,000 suit. He still reeks of his foul poison. This professor…stinks to high Heaven.
Really? How about you bring that alligator mouth to Tennessee and try to implement your idea.
A Racist was elected?Wonder how much the Marxist or are they Nazis,that bought/stole his election for him?
Casca, You mean the Soviet Socialists (Marxists)or the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazis)?
I wonder what Mitch McConnell has to say about his alma mater now.
Democrats are Responsible for everything that has happened for this last year Riots Looting Burning and Murders around those Outrageous Violent Lawlessness Times. Everyone in this Congress Should Be Fired and Thrown in Jail or Prison for Non-Performance During the Last Four Years. It is For Sure That the Congress Does Not Deserve a $57,000 Dollar Raise that Was Snuck into the COVID RELIEF Bill. And to be Honest EVERYONE SHOULD SHUT UP.
I agree with you 100%.
So are all Democrats responsible for the riots, burning, and killings in Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Indianapolis, Nashville, Minneapolis, etc., last year, and should “shut the hell up?”
Before my grandmother died she told me, “you would be a fool to send a kid to college these days. All you need to know is that you have a product or service minus expenses equals profit.”
Idiots come in all sizes, shapes and colors. An obviously “hate-filled” man.
Ricky- What the heck does Pan-African Studies do to enhance ones ability to hold gainful employment?
Fireguy – I can answer your question.. A degree in Pan-African Studies is not going to get a real job but it very well can secure a job in the Democrat party, Washington D.C. or a professorship in a liberal university. Wait…. I correct myself for being redundant when saying a “liberal university” as virtually all, especially state sponsored, universities are liberal.
You can use it to get a job teaching Pan-African Studies, of course.
I just sent the college President to email and ask if this was acceptable.
,
I call on the University of Louisville to fire this hate monger and racist. He hates America and he is against the Constitution.
Conservatives have hate to listen to the kind of crap and have been fire or threatened for just expressing their opinion.
This black racist needs to go as America has no place for people who act or speak this way!
No one spews hate more than the Democrats! A year long of violent protests and riots from antifa and BLM were on full display with the Democratic approval so don’t go there!
Still MORE proof of the takeover of education by liberals. To follow this line of thinking, all Liberals are responsable for the city takeovers, and destruction in those states and cities.
The fact that someone so disrespectful of others’ right of free speech is allowed to be a tenured professor does not speak very highly of the University of Louisville. While I firmly believe that free speech applies to everyone, regardless of how abhorrent their views are, when someone uses their right of free speech to advocate denying that same right to others with different views, that is where I have to draw the line. It’s been said that “your rights end at the tip of my nose”. That principle applies here: when you advocate denial of my right of free speech, I see absolutely nothing wrong with using any means necessary to silence such advocacy.
Well said.
If a child of mine attended any school that paid a professor to spew such nonsense, I would definitely pull her/hiim out of that University. Shame on him.
