A state legislator is urging the University of Iowa to dismiss a physician after the individual reportedly shared a controversial social media comment criticizing President-elect Donald Trump following Tuesday’s general election.

Mayank Sharma, a medical fellow at UI Health Care, reportedly responded Wednesday to a pro-Trump post with the following remark: “Well I hope you lose your kid in a school shooting. Already you have nothing to lose, it won’t matter to you anyways! Prepare for your kids funeral.”

Absolutely sick!

Reports are claiming this was the post (which has now been deleted and his entire X account has also apparently been deleted:

Memo to Dr. TDS: the Internet is written in ink and you don’t just get to delete you account and hope no one noticed….

Because many people noticed and many are extremely concerned that you ALLEGEDLY just told someone to “prepare for their kids funeral” while being…..wait for it….. a PEDIATRICIAN!

Would you send your children to this doctor?

Oh my….

Fellow physician Alan Nguyen, DO posted on Twitter that Sharma is a “Vile human being and a disgrace to the medical profession”:

Others are asking if this is a threat that should be investigated….

I mean, it sure doesn’t sound good!

The Des Moines Register reports the following additional details:

A pediatric cardiologist for University of Iowa Health Care is facing an internal probe over a social media post directed at a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.

Dr.Mayank Sharma engaged in a political conversation with a Trump supporter on X Wednesday morning. After the Trump supporter told him to “stay mad,”Dr. Sharma unleashed a graphic response.

“Well I hope you lose your kid in a school shoo[t]ing,” Dr. Sharma wrote. “Already you have nothing to lose, it won’t matter to you anyways! Prepare for your kids funeral.”

The post was deleted shortly thereafter. Dr. Sharma also deleted his X account, but anarchived version of the account reveals his bio identified him as a “pediatric cardiologist.”

Dr. Sharma was formerly listed as a pediatric cardiology fellow on the University of Iowa Health Care website. His name no longer appears on the fellowship’s website. The fellowship is based at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

University of Iowa Health Care confirmed in a statement to The National News Desk that the university is “aware of the situation and is reviewing the matter” in accordance with its policies.

“The University of Iowa strongly objects to violence,” the statement added.

Dr. Sharma did not respond to an email from The National News Desk sent Wednesday. He previously worked atSUNY Update Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y., where he completed his residency.

Iowa state Rep. Carter Nordman, R-Dallas Center, sent a letter Thursday toUniversity of Iowa President Barbara J. Wilson calling Dr. Sharma’s comments “repulsive, deeply unprofessional, and not representative of the world-class operations at UI Health Care.”

“I believe the University should terminate his employment to assure Iowans that they can receive proper care from our state hospital, no matter their personal political beliefs or who they voted for,” Rep. Nordman wrote. “Maintaining his employment sends the wrong message to Iowans, who have resoundingly voted for President Trump three times.”

I have a question….

Obviously, there is no defense of this behavior.  None.

But where does the fault truly lie here?

How about Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and countless others calling Trump supporters “literally Hitler” and “Garbage” and “dangerous”.

What responsibility do they bear?

How about the extreme Far-Left Universities that brainwash students to “Hate Trump” and “Hate Republicans”?

We send people like Dr. Sharma to countless years of Far-Left schooling to hear the brainwashing over and over and over, then people like Dr. Sharma tune in to channels like CNN and MSNBC who call Trump supporters “Literally Hitler”…..is it any wonder they finally start parroting back all the hate, exactly as they heard it?

I would say the surprise would be if things like this WEREN’T happening!

I’m not defending it at all, I’m just saying perhaps we need to cut off the poison at the ROOT.

How about Biden, Harris, Pelosi and all the rest stop with their dangerous rhetoric?

How about Far-Left Universities simply teach EDUCATION and not HATE?

How about we start there?

Enough with the hate.

Enough with inciting violence against Trump supporters.

Stop it.

What do you think?
