According to footage and photos obtained by The College Fix, Cornell University police were forced to forcibly remove a doctor after she repeatedly interrupted Ann Coulter’s host lecture at the Ivy League organization.
In a picture taken by Russ Nelson, a New York native who attended the chat, which was open to the public, two police officers instruct Monica Cornejo, an associate professor of social conversation, to get up and leave the place.
One of the officers in the 36-second video that Nelson posted on X shows him kissing Cornejo and telling her she is being detained for “disorderly conduct,” to which she repeatedly replies, “do n’t touch me — do not touch me,” and exclaiming that she is a faculty member. ”
It’s not clear if she was really cited after leaving the room.
