The attack was reported to local authorities, and both perpetrators were quickly identified and questioned. Despite their confessions, Mahoney and Hoff attempted to dodge accountability, allegedly blaming Sani for “provoking” them.
Bodycam footage released by TPUSA Frontlines reporter Jonathan Choe shows both men admitting to the violence. The video ignited a firestorm on social media, with users across the country calling for their immediate removal from any academic positions.
Mahoney and Hoff were arrested and charged with assault.
As pressure mounted, Washington State University was forced to respond. By early March, Mahoney’s employment was officially terminated. Hoff was relieved of all teaching responsibilities.
Phil Weiler, WSU’s Vice President for Marketing and Communications, issued a public statement addressing the matter:
“Washington State University (WSU) is aware of an off-campus incident that occurred last February involving a WSU staff member and a graduate student. After an investigation conducted by the City of Pullman’s police department, and in accordance with WSU policies, the staff member’s employment has been terminated.”
“The second individual involved was a graduate student serving as a teaching assistant. He was not a Washington State University professor. This person has been relieved of all teaching responsibilities.”
“In compliance with federal privacy laws, no further details regarding the matter will be disclosed.”
“WSU remains committed to fostering a safe and supportive learning environment for all students. We take every complaint and concern seriously and will continue to address such matters with the utmost priority.”
This disturbing case highlights the escalating hostility faced by conservative students, especially those from minority backgrounds. The notion that a student can be beaten on the streets simply for wearing a pro-Trump cap should chill every American who believes in free expression.

What’s even more alarming is that this wasn’t carried out by random thugs—it was allegedly done by educators entrusted with shaping the next generation. If universities truly value “safe and supportive” environments, then there must be zero tolerance for politically motivated violence—especially when it comes from within the faculty.
This isn’t just a story about a student getting attacked. It’s about a toxic culture brewing on campus, one where some believe violence is justified if they disagree with your hat.
Washington State University acted—but only after public pressure and a viral video left them no choice. Had this not been caught on camera, would there have been accountability at all?
One thing is clear: political violence can no longer be excused or brushed aside, especially when it hides under the guise of higher education.
