It Can Happen to You As Well

Yesterday, FTVLive told you how the MAGA crowd turned on KSAT (San Antonio) Reporter Daniela Ibarra after she did a story about the pardons of the January 6th protestors.

Ibarra’s story was reported fairly, as she covered all sides of the issue. That did not stop Trump supporters for leveling attacks on her across social media.

She received dozens of death threats, threatened her family and posted her home address. Ibarra found herself not going to her home, due to the seriousness of the situation. Insiders say she was terrified, and rightfully so.

Management at KSAT have been supportive and did assign her security.

Ibarra has handled this situation very well, including not taking anytime off work, because she isn’t about to let the trolls win. Many have targeted her because she’s Hispanic.

It’s hard to believe that this is happening in the United States, but this is now where we are. When you have a President who has been attacking the media for well over a decade, it’s not surprising that his supporters will pull stuff like this.

If it happened to a Reporter in San Antonio, it can easily happen to you.

It is a different time and sadly, I think this will get worse before it gets better.

Big shout out to Daniela Ibarra, for being so strong in a difficult situation. You didn’t deserve this, but you’re handling like the professional you are.
