CNN reporter Drew Griffin actually went to the home of a woman yesterday and harassed her for promoting an event that Mueller said the Russians organized.
Watch:
A Florida woman who ran a Trump supporters page that unwittingly promoted a Russian-coordinated event on Facebook says she doesn’t believe that she was influenced by Kremlin-linked trolls https://t.co/DmgDRFRwyn pic.twitter.com/OAz5julCyA

How despicable. We know from the indictment that the Russians went to great pains to hide their true identity, masking themselves to look like normal grassroots Americans. So there’s no way the woman could have known she was unwittingly working with the Russians, so what’s the damn point of harassing her about it?
THIS. IS. CNN.
This didn’t go well on Twitter at all, with many users accusing CNN of harassment:
I know Florine.

She is one of the most patriotic, sweetest, hardest working campaign volunteers you’ll ever meet.
What @CNN did to her here is shameful. However, she held her own and beat back their #FakeNews. https://t.co/608qFWJW3J
Congrats to CNN for tracking down and harassing this random grandma at her house. You guys are real heroes. https://t.co/aodapZ7FNN

CNN breathlessly covered anti-Trump rallies organized by Kremiln -linked trolls.

This is why people hate the media. https://t.co/9Y1DXJEHoz
In case anyone was wondering why unprecedented numbers of Americans distrust and despise corporate mainstream media and are disengaging from party politics, here’s a vivid illustration https://t.co/l36bHm8iUN

THIS is why @CNN is a rag. Invaded her privacy, confronted her on camera and published her name. She needs to sue.

Even @brianstelter admitted he was duped by a bot.
Shame on you @CNN!!! https://t.co/09sc3aOAAz
I hope she does sue CNN and takes them for as much as she can.
There’s one point I neglected to make. The reason I didn’t cover how Michael Moore marched in New York anti-Trump rally that was organized by the Russians was that I failed to see the point. Just like this woman, he would have had no way of knowing that it was organized by the Russians. He was duped just like everyone else. Which makes it more absurd that CNN targeted and harassed this poor woman.
