Raise your hand if you’re not surprised that the media is already playing the evil Trump supporter with this known Manafort juror.
But you know, they just wanted their information so they could interview them and ask questions.
Right.
“Every day when I drove, I had my Make America Great Again hat in the backseat,” said the juror who plans to vote for Trump again in 2020. “Just as a reminder.”https://t.co/6nuIIrvsRT

From FoxNews:
“Finding Mr. Manafort guilty was hard for me. I wanted him to be innocent, I really wanted him to be innocent, but he wasn’t,” Duncan said. “That’s the part of a juror, you have to have due diligence and deliberate and look at the evidence and come up with an informed and intelligent decision, which I did.”
So she found him guilty, which ultimately makes this a non-story BUT people on the Left will see Passantino’s tweet with the photos and they’ll target her. This is why CNN asking for their identities was so dangerous.
The same journalists who claimed “we just wanted to interview them” while trying to force their identities into the open are now going to go full Mean Girls on this juror. Watch (Yes you Buzzfeed, Politico, CNN)https://t.co/88F4xrLTM4 pic.twitter.com/1sFVjqUsop

Color us not shocked.
What are you talking about? She went public of her own free will. (And she's not the holdout.)
Geez.
— Cathy Young (@CathyYoung63) August 23, 2018
Fair point.
She’s not the holdout, but it won’t matter.
Yep and now watch how she’s treated. That’s kind of the point here.

Quoting someone's words from an article is "sending a lynch mob."
And I thought the left's caterwauling about "online harassment" every time someone says "jump off a cliff" to a feminist was ridiculous.

Why do you think Buzzfeed chose that particular quote?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 23, 2018
We know we know!
It's not the official Buzzfeed account, but whatever.
I assume Passantino found the quote pretty striking, considering Duncan voted to convict on all counts.
I do too.
The idea that this is some kind of retaliation (considering she voted to convict) is pretty far-fetched.

Cathy, what do you think is more visceral on Twitter? Her vote and 1,200 words about it or a picture of her in MAGA hat? Also I’m not anti-anti-Trump, whatever the hell that all is
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) August 23, 2018
The picture of her in the MAGA hat, absolutely.
OK, I apologize if I mischaracterized your position. I get a "Trump may be bad but the MSM is the real villain" vibe a lot of the time tbh (including here)

Full transparency, we included most of this back and forth because this is how adults disagree … we so rarely see it anymore.
Well done.

Nope, but they’ll see that picture of her in the MAGA hat and go postal.
If CNN ever finds that holdout, he/she better not have any untoward memes in their past.

HA!
Truth.
How quickly can KFILE get a camera crew to her house??
