In one of her tweets, Jarrar said she is a tenured professor and makes $100,000 a year. “I will never be fired,” Jarrar tweeted.

Asked at the news conference about that tweet, Zelezny said: "To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no."

quote:
New York state resident Maria Angelini said Jarrar was once married to Angelini's brother, and that her comments Tuesday were shocking to her former in-laws.

"It's disgusting," Angelini said. "She was not this way when we knew her."

Angelini learned of the comments when news started to break online. She has not spoken to Jarrar in years.

Ari Cohn of FIRE, an organization that advocates for free speech on university campuses, said Jarrar’s initial tweet was clearly protected speech under the First Amendment.

Even subsequent tweets in which Jarrar tagged the official Fresno State account and President Joseph Castro do not indicate that she was speaking on behalf of her employer rather than as a private citizen, he said.

Instead he believes she was reacting to the mob that wanted to see her fired, a trend that he said is growing in the last year.

“The desire to see someone fired because they said something you disagree with or was offensive to you is childish and unproductive and it needs to stop,” Cohn said. “It can so easily be turned around on someone you agree with so it's ultimately self-defeating.”

Does he not realize that this is exactly what is happening here? The left has long demonized and tried to ruin anyone on the right who dared speak their minds, and now he and the other prog filth are the ones not liking it.
