| Georgetown adviser resigns after wishing ‘#metoo moment' on female conservative |
| 2018-01-16 |
| A Georgetown University adviser has resigned after he tweeted that he wished a "#metoo moment" on conservative blogger Allie Stuckey. Georgetown said in a statement Monday that it had accepted Jeff Bernstein’s resignation from the Masters of Science in Foreign Service program advisory board over comments that were "deeply inconsistent" with the school’s values. "Encouraging, threatening or condoning violence and harassment against another person, in any form and on any format, is deeply inconsistent with the values of the program, our school and our university," the school said. Mr. Bernstein deleted his Twitter account after writing to Ms. Stuckey, founder of The Conservative Millennial and former TheBlaze TV host: "Wishing you a #metoo moment. Maybe then you won’t be so insensitive." |

| #7 The gig is to crescendo the metoo at the State of the Union deal; to weaponize it now is premature ejaculation. |

| #6 I bet this clown was spitting bile and hurling poo all over internet threads and then forget that their Twitter account is not anonymous. |

| #5 This is why good manners are important, especially when one is exercised, as Mr. Bernstein clearly was. As such, exquisite manners are a basic requirement for anyone in foreign service. |

| #4 Lost his sweet job too: "Bernstein was also fired from his job at Solebury Capital as a result of his conduct. Solebury learned of Bernstein’s conduct Sunday evening and “immediately investigated the matter,” according to Lisa Wolford, a spokeswoman for Solebury. “Based on that review, we promptly terminated his employment with Solebury,” Wolford wrote in an email to The Hoya." |

| #3 It's like the story I read somewhere about an old Nazi (party member from the beginning) who was transferred to Eastern front as a punishment. His crime: he had a cushy job collecting Jews for transfer to extermination camps - but he was nasty and didn't pretend that this is a temporary detention. |

| #1 I'm surprised he wasn't given tenure and a raise. |
