Harvard resident dean defended trolls who wished death on Trump, claimed ‘Whiteness’ is a ‘self-destructive’
A Harvard University resident dean defended sick trolls who wished death on President Trump and claimed that “Whiteness” is “a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone” in twisted social media posts.
“F— that guy,” Gregory Davis, now a Harvard resident dean, wrote on X in 2020 — one day after President Trump revealed he had contracted COVID-19.
“I don’t — at all — blame people wishing Trump ill,” he also wrote in the X thread.
Davis later reposted a gif of Ivan Drago from Rocky IV saying, “If he dies, he dies.”
The disturbing posts were uncovered by Yard Report, a conservative blog at Harvard, and are dated before Davis became a resident dean of Dunster House in July 2024.
Before that, Davis taught critical race theory at UCLA and “Gender Identity Law” at Southwestern Law School, according to his LinkedIn.
“It’s almost like Whiteness is a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it. By design,” Davis wrote on X in 2019.
As a resident advisor at Harvard, Davis is responsible for students personally or academically, according to his bio page. He is currently on parental leave.
Davis also encouraged students who are “Black or otherwise of color, queer, neurodivergent (ADHD), first-generation, a public high school graduate, from a low-income background, or from urban areas,” to reach out to him for advice.
Screenshots published by Yard Report from 2020 also show Davis encouraging violent riots and calling police officers “evil”.
“You should ask your cop friends to quit since they’re racist and evil,” he wrote on X.
“Rioting and looting are parts of democracy just like voting and marching,” he wrote in another post.
Davis has deleted his X and Instagram accounts and issued an apology.
“These posts do not reflect my current thinking or beliefs,” said Davis in an email sent to residents of Dunster House, acquired by the conservative substack The Harvard Salient.
“I apologize for this disruption,” Davis wrote, adding that he looks forward to returning in January.
