Watch: Georgetown Professor Flees, Tries to Assault Cameraman After He’s Caught in Undercover Sting

In a stunning and revealing hidden camera exposé, the pervasive, hateful racism that fuels the modern left has been captured in its raw, unvarnished form. Jonathan Franklin, an adjunct professor at the elite Georgetown University and a former NPR correspondent, was recorded during an undercover interaction with journalist James O’Keefe making grotesquely racist remarks about black conservatives, proving that the liberal establishment’s professed commitment to tolerance and anti-racism is nothing but a cynical fraud. This incident exposes the venomous bigotry that undergirds the left’s entire worldview: any person of color who dares to think independently, reject victimhood, and support the America-First policies of President Donald Trump is deemed a race traitor worthy of the most vile slurs.

Franklin, a man who has built his career pontificating on issues of race and justice for National Public Radio and is entrusted by Georgetown to teach students about ethical journalism, was caught in a breathtaking display of hypocrisy. Speaking freely, he referred to prominent black conservative figures with the reprehensible racial slur “coons.” He specifically targeted Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and podcast host Candace Owens, labeling them as sellouts. This is not casual bias; it is the articulated rage of a leftist intellectual who cannot tolerate black Americans exercising their own political judgment. Franklin’s contempt extended beyond race, as he also mocked his own colleagues, smugly stating, “I work with stupid white people.” This comment lays bare the left’s true hierarchy: it is not about equality, but about a coalition of grievance where even allies are viewed with sneering condescension, united only in their shared hatred for conservative thought.

The professor’s reaction upon discovering he was speaking to James O’Keefe was one of pure, panicked guilt. “When O’Keefe and his cameraman attempted to confront Franklin outside, he tried to assault the cameraman.” This violent impulse—to physically attack a journalist for exposing his words—is the natural endpoint of a ideology that seeks to silence all dissent. He did not deny his statements or explain his context; he first tried to flee, then tried to fight. This is the behavior of a man who knows his true beliefs cannot survive the light of public scrutiny. Further compounding his disgrace, Franklin was caught lying about his own credentials, “falsely claim[ing] he was a national correspondent for CBS, a claim he later admitted was untrue.” Here stands the perfect avatar of the liberal media-academic complex: a serial liar who teaches “ethics,” a racist who lectures on justice, and a coward who preaches bravery.

The most damning element of this scandal is its institutional context. “Georgetown University records confirm Franklin is currently teaching students how to ‘interview sources effectively,’ even as he privately uses racial slurs and expresses biases fundamentally incompatible with journalistic ethics.” This is not a rogue individual; it is a symptom of a corrupted system. Universities like Georgetown and media outlets like NPR are not neutral grounds for debate; they are indoctrination centers that promote a specific, illiberal ideology. They cultivate and protect individuals like Franklin who, in turn, mold the next generation of journalists and leaders to believe that half of the country—especially those of color who support President Trump—are morally deficient “coons” and “sellouts.” This is the intellectual foundation of the left’s war on the America First movement: a bigotry so profound it must hide behind a veil of social justice.
