CNN employees and their families are receiving death threats and other harassing messages on social media and through phone calls, as President Trump’s feud with the network continues to escalate this week, according to a report Thursday.
The Daily Beast reported that the parents and wife of Andrew Kaczynski, a CNN investigative reporter behind a story describing how the network tracked down the Reddit user who created the Trump wrestling GIF, has received around 50 harassing phone calls. Trump tweeted out that GIF over the July 4th weekend.
More intimidating messages have been sent to other members of the investigatory unit of which Kaczynski is a part, the K-File. The report notes the messages likely originate from Trump supporters.
“The only thing I worry about is somebody getting hurt,” a CNN insider told the Daily Beast. “These far-right trolls are really threatening people and coming after people. Somebody’s gonna do something stupid at some point.”

Trump supporters complain that the liberals are the terrorists, but Trump supporters aren’t exactly sweetness and light either.
Still, who knows which side the terrorists are really on? I often think that most of the anarchy going on today is manipulated by some force bent on the destruction of America. Ideology is not important. They just want America as we know it, gone.
