Experiencing the Hate at Fox News
/Donald Trump supporters have turned on a Fox News host, after she let her feelings known.
FTVLive showed you the clip of Fox News host Kat Timpf's reaction moments after watching Trump say that were some nice people at the Nazi rally in Charlottesville. Timpf called Trump's news conference disgusting and said "I have too much eye makeup on to cry right now."
Timpf's reaction went viral and then the hate messages soon followed. Twitter hashtags called for her to be fired.
Wrote one critic on Twitter: "I thought I was watching MSNBC." Another suggested, "get rid of the snowflakes. Your (sic) turning into another liberal news channel." Some messages were unprintably vile; Timpf retweeted one.
Timpf, in an interview, said she was particularly chilled by one tweet that called her "a disgrace to the white race."
"I've gotten some positive things, but the negativity I've gotten is incredibly disturbing," she said. "I've seen enough to know just how disturbing the climate is right now. I'm fully aware of it and don't need any more bringing me down on a personal level."
She said that "it doesn't seem like it's too difficult to do the right thing and respond by saying 'Nazis are bad.' I can't believe that my stance is a controversial stance, or something you need to even take a stand on at all these days. It's really upsetting."
Timpf said she didn't care if she'd lost some support from Fox viewers.
"There's nothing in my head that has me even considering approaching things in any other way than I have approached it," she said.
