This woman seems unhinged.

The Georgetown University professor who got white nationalist Richard Spencer booted from his gym last last week is not shy about going after people she disagrees with, and not all of them are as socially unsympathetic as the man who created the term "alt-right."

C. Christine Fair, an associate professor at the Center for Peace and Security Studies at Georgetown vented her anger on social media back in 2016 when she went after a former friend, Asra Nomani, a "lifelong liberal" who wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post about her decision, as a Muslim immigrant, to vote for Donald Trump.

That conservative Daily Caller said that led Fair to go "on a 31-day screed against Nomani spanning across Twitter and Facebook."

"I've written you off as a human being," Fair wrote in one message, according to The Washington Post. "Your vote helped normalize Nazis in D.C. What don't you understand, you clueless dolt?" Later adding: "YOU publicly voted for a sex assailant." She went on to say that Nomani "pimped herself out to all media outlets because she was a 'Muslim woman who voted for Trump.'"

Nomani replied that she "condemns all hate" and called Fair's attacks against her "unfortunate," the report said. After another series of exchanges, Nomani told Fair to "take a deep breath & step away from the keyboard."

Fair then called her former friend a "fame-mongering clown show" and a "fraud."

In a complaint to Georgetown, Nomani said that Fair had used profanity and called her names in English and in her native language of Urdu.

In her op-ed, Nomani seemed to puncture key ideas of Fair's stereotypes of Trump supporters:

"This is my confession -- and explanation: I -- a 51-year-old, a Muslim, an immigrant woman "of color" -- am one of those silent voters for Donald Trump," Nomani wrote. "And I'm not a 'bigot,' 'racist,' 'chauvinist' or 'white supremacist,' as Trump voters are being called, nor part of some 'whitelash.'"

Nomani, who was born in India and is a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement, is certainly not an extreme right winger.

"Are you Richard Spencer?" she asked him, describing the encounter in an online post. "No. I am not," he replied.

Fair is being widely lauded for going after Spencer, who is president of the white-nationalist National Policy Institute. He has denied being a Nazi, but was seen on video shouting "Hail Trump!" as crowd members replied with Nazi salutes.

Nomani is the author of two books: "Standing Alone in Mecca: An American Woman's Struggle for the Soul of Islam" and "Tantrika: Traveling the Road of Divine Love."

Fair said in an online post that she approached Spencer in the gym and asked, "Are you Richard Spencer?" And that he denied it.

"I said, 'Of course you are, so not only are you a Nazi -- you are a cowardly Nazi,'" Fair said in an interview. "I just want to say to you, I'm sick of your crap -- that this country belongs [to people like you.] ... As a woman, I find your statements to be particularly odious; moreover, I find your presence in this gym to be unacceptable, your presence in this town to be unacceptable."

Fair said she expected to be tossed out of the gym, but instead the Old Town Sport & Health club sent a notice to Spencer that his membership is being revoked.

As a private organization, Old Town Sport & Health, has every right to make the decision that Spencer's political beliefs and activities might be too disruptive for its business. But it seems Fair has problems with anyone who doesn't fall into line with her political beliefs.

Peace and Security Studies? No wonder college is so damn expensive.

These 'C Howitt Fealz' jokes are starting to go too far.

I won't vote democrat again until these people are stripped of their control over the party and ostracized socially by the more sane people on the left. These are the types of people that secure Trump a second term.

The 'regressive left' is worse that the 'alt right'.

Those groups are the same. They both crave a totalitarian government.

Because you are a Republican? They are essentially the same.

That was my initial thought as well. Fuck all these universities...even Carbondale is almost 30k for in-state students. What a joke.
