Seattle Red Highlights AIM Confrontation With UW Researcher Over “Tyler Robinson” Post

March 4, 2026

By

Adam Guillette, from Accuracy in Media, confronted a University of Washington research scientist following a controversial social media post. He traveled to the Seattle campus to find the researcher after her online comments sparked a debate about safety and free speech.

The scientist, identified as Mara Maughan, gained national attention for a post that declared to conservative activist Corey DeAngelis, “may there be tyler robinsons for you all.” Robinson has been charged with the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“This kind of violent rhetoric from Mara Maughan and far too many others on the left — wishing for assassins to target conservatives like me and my family — absolutely concerns me, as it not only normalizes political violence but fuels a dangerous environment where radical ideologies in academia and beyond threaten our freedoms and safety without accountability,” DeAngelis told Fox News Digital in January.
