Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry's office called the bosses of a University of Nebraska-Lincoln associate professor for liking a photo on Facebook of a picture of Fortenberry that was vandalized w/googly eyes and the caption "Jeff Fartenberry."

ETA the follow-up:

Fortenberry's chief of staff emailed the school's dean to speak about it.

To be clear, the professor was not involved in the vandalism of the sign. The congressman and his chief of staff are trying to get him in trouble for liking the photo on Facebook. That's it.
