Phillip Lowcock, a member of the Department of Health, \u2063Sport and Exercise Science, was\u200b placed on administrative\u200d leave after a video emerged in \u2064which he suggested shooting male opponents \u2063of Vice President Kamala Harris.

The remarks were widely condemned, particularly by Senator Roger Marshall, who called \u200dfor Lowcock&#8217;s immediate dismissal, \u200blabeling his comments as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/right-and-left-alike-slam-eric-greitens-for-begging-for-political-violence-with-rino-hunting-ad\/\" title=\"Right And Left Alike Slam Eric Greitens For \u2018Begging For Political Violence\u2019 With \u2018RINO Hunting\u2019 Ad\">promoting political violence<\/a> and \u200dunfit\u2064 for an\u200d academic environment.
