I am about as "give every student the benefit of the doubt" as you can be, but eff this student. Willfully setting up a TA and professor; nakedly lying to destroy others' careers; shamelessly cashing in with the right-wing grievance complex. What a miserable person. I hope she never graduates.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

As this article (defector.com/the-conserva...) points out, the student had a high GPA before this point. That is evidence she knows how to write a decent assay and chose not to.
