A Florida woman who ran a pro-Trump Facebook group was tracked down by a CNN reporter and put on television Tuesday night — and now she’s facing vicious threats and harassment.

CNN’s Drew Griffin went to the home of Florine Gruen Goldfarb, who ran a Facebook page called Team Trump Broward County. The page was apparently targeted by Russian internet accounts, something that Goldfarb did not know and had no way of knowing.

She said, “Those people weren’t Russians. I don’t go with Russians.”

WATCH:

The CNN report clearly showed her home and published her name, something that has now resulted in vicious harassment.

Judicial Watch’s Jerry Dunleavy wrote a series of tweets outlining the harassment received by Goldfarb:

Some Facebook users called her a “treasonous hillbilly” and “racist trash.”

She was also threatened with violence by a Facebook user who told her, “You have problems Flo, btw stay in Florida, you come to NY and I’ll kick your Russian bot ass!”

CNN targeting random private citizens who unknowingly were duped by Russians is especially absurd because the network unknowingly promoted an anti-Trump rally organized by Russians in the days after the election. (RELATED: CNN, MSNBC Glowingly Promoted Russian-Organized Anti-Trump Rally)
