The professor whose words and actions played a significant role in provoking the protests and the occupation of the college president's office appeared on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News, and claimed, falsely that the students had taken over the entire campus and threatened to use violence-claims that led to death threats from Fox viewers to various students of color on campus.
