Illini Republicans At U of I Under Fire Over Social Media Post

The Illini Republicans club at the University of Illinois faces backlash following a controversial social media post. The message featured an image of a masked gunman threatening a kneeling individual, with the caption, “Only traitors help invaders.” The post referenced Alex Pretti and Renée Good, stating they “voided their liberties the moment they decided they were above the law.” Pretti and Good were fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis last month. University officials and student groups are condemning the post, calling it inflammatory. The club has yet to issue a public response amid mounting criticism and calls for accountability.
