When Republican Karen Handel beat Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff in a special race in Georgia, it was a huge victory for the GOP and a huge loss for the Democrats. But it was also a financial loss to many professors around the nation. The College Fix reported that professors from across the United States sent money to Ossoff to try to help him win:

A bevy of professors at the top universities nationwide have made campaign donations to a liberal congressional candidate whose candidacy has become a flashpoint of resistance against President Donald Trump and his administration.

A review of donations listed at the Center for Responsive Politics shows that at least one professor at each of the top 15 universities, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, has donated money to Jon Ossoff, the Democrat candidate in a special election in the Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. The analysis turned up no employees or professors at those same schools donating to Ossoff’s opponent, Republican Karen Handel.

“I was also influenced by a desire to resist Trump’s plan to defer to Russia and make America insecure,” Rega Wood, a Stanford philosophy professor and Ossoff donor, said in an email to The College Fix.

Hundreds of dollars from multiple professors and employees at all eight Ivy League institutions have been received by Ossoff through his campaign. All of the Ivy League schools, ranked amongst the top 15 universities, are located in the East Coast and are hundreds of miles away from Georgia’s 6th District.

Something about that is really, really funny... that all of these professors would be united with one voice that just wasn't strong enough. Donald Trump Jr. savagely tweeted:

They might be smart, but these professors don't know how to make a good investment.
