University of Virginia medical school dean David Wilkes came under fire Tuesday after a group of congressmen criticized the school s 2018 expulsion of a student who questioned the validity of microaggressions.
Virginia Republicans Ben Cline, Bob Good, and Morgan Griffith and UVA alum Rep. Chip Roy (R., Texas) asked Wilkes to meet and discuss the punishment of former medical school student Kieran Bhattacharya, who critiqued a proposed definition of microaggressions in 2018. In the letter, the representatives called the university s expulsion of Bhattacharya incredibly concerning and worthy of examination and discussion.

Former President Donald Trump recently called the Republican governor of Arkansas a âRINOâ â âRepublican in name onlyâ â because he disagreed with something that Asa Hutchinson had done.
Hutchinson joins a long list of Republicans whom Trump has branded as âRINOsâ and an even longer list of other Republicans who have been called that.
Former Rep. Denver Riggleman of Nelson County got called that, even though he was endorsed by Trump (but did officiate at a same-sex wedding, which proved politically troublesome with 5th District Republicans who refused to renominate him).
Wyomingâs Liz Cheney has definitely been called RINO. As we comb through our archives, we find lots of Republicans who have been accused of being âRepublicans in name only.â

After years of encouraging Democrats and voters to take a meritocratic approach when evaluating candidates for office, Republicans are coming under fire for insisting that ousted House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney must be replaced by another woman.
Before the Wyoming congresswoman was booted from her leadership post in a vote on Wednesday, House Republicans had sent out clear signals that her successor would need to be a woman. Male members who had reportedly been interested in the role, such as Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks of Indiana, were quickly dismissed as the names of three women Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, Ann Wagner of Missouri and Jackie Walorksi of Indiana were circulated inside the conference.
