FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>A college professor who gave a full-throated endorsement to embattled Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones also targeted Charlie Kirk<\/a> and Turning Point USA in the immediate aftermath of the conservative titan’s assassination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matthew Gabriele is a professor in the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech<\/a>. On his profanity-laced @profgabriele.com profile on the social media platform Bluesky, he has also cursed out Republicans and advocated against open debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Delighted to have met Virginia’s next Attorney General today \u2014 Jay Jones!” Gabriele said in a March post with a smiling photo with the candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second photo embedded into the post shows Jones speaking<\/a> at an intimate get-together with only a few other people in attendance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“F— this s—, we fight,” Gabriele said in a follow-up post. “We’ve beaten fascists before and we’re gonna do it again.”<\/p>\n

Jones has been embroiled in scandal since a text message conversation from 2022 emerged in which he fantasized about killing then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.<\/p>\n

“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” one text said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves,” Jones continued. “Send them out awash in something.”<\/p>\n

He also accused Gilbert and his wife of “breeding little fascists.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sept. 11, the day after Kirk was assassinated by an alleged left-wing radical, Gabriele slammed Kirk and the group for its “Professor Watchlist,” which he is on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Responding to another Bluesky user who claimed TPUSA was not a “free speech” organization, he said, “Charlie Kirk and his organization were directly responsible for colleagues going into hiding because of harassment.”<\/p>\n

“I personally received death threats, as well as bull—- anonymous complaints to my university, because I’m on their list,” his post continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He did not provide specific evidence of the threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Sept. 19, he attacked Kirk again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s true! Kirk was and TPUSA is a harassment machine,” he said.<\/p>\n

In several posts, he has also appeared to advocate against political debate on campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In August, when Pulitzer Prize-winning Yale Professor David Blight announced he would debate Heritage Foundation’s president Kevin Roberts, Gabriele expressed disgust.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is such a bad idea,” he responded to Blight. “You’re just legitimizing a fascist, helping spread hate.”<\/p>\n

He followed that post with another, which said, “The f— is it with people and \u2018debate?'”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a four-post September rant, Gabriele attacked the idea of diversity of opinions on college campuses.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“[N]o one should\u2019ve ever fretted about political homogeneity on college campuses, and if you did you were the f—— one living in a bubble and you were a f—— idiot,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS HAVE A VIOLENCE PROBLEM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“[I] am absolutely f—— exhausted by white guys \u2014 both those who haven\u2019t set foot on a f—— campus in decades, and my colleagues who read a f—— Atlantic article by those same bozos \u2014 hand-wringing about \u2018self-censorship\u2019 and the lack of right wing ideas,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“[W]hat you f—— clowns have always been ignorant about is that the hand-wringing right-wingers were smuggling in racism & fascism,” he said a third follow-up post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriele also made a blanket statement about his political opponents in response to a school shooting in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“[F]— Republicans and all those who perpetuate this preventable violence,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital asked Gabriele whether he still supports Jones, among other questions, but he did not respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Virginia Tech also did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
