Florine Gruen Goldfarb, 76, never thought her Trump-inspired activism during the 2016 election would earn her infamy and ridicule – but that’s what happened thanks to CNN.

CNN correspondent Drew Griffin ambushed the Trump supporter outside her home earlier this week because she may have unwittingly promoted a Russian-coordinated event during the 2016 election. Now she's receiving threats on social media, and she lays the blame at the news network's feet.

Goldfarb had her full name plastered on the video that was tweeted out to CNN’s nearly 40 million followers. Her house number was also visible for much off the video. Her crime? Unknowingly organizing a pro-Trump event on Facebook that was influenced by the Russians, who are accused of meddling in the election.

Fox News reached Goldfarb, of Pembroke Pines, Fla., via Facebook Messenger and she declined a phone interview because she wants the “situation to go away.” She says she's been bombarded since Griffin showed up at her door.

"My phone is ringing off the hook and I can't keep up with the emails and Facebook messages. I am being trashed by anti-Trump trolls on Facebook. This would have never happened if Fake News CNN had not caught me at home and ambushed me trying to coerce me into giving them the answers they were looking for,” Goldfarb told Fox News via the messaging app. “CNN is doing a great job exposing themselves as Fake News."

CNN is exposing themselves as fake news - as well as being downright evil - going to a private residence like this and then sharing her name and address? Disgusting.

Did they confront themselves for the wall to wall, glowing coverage they gave to a Russian organized anti-Trump rally? None of their followers including those Hollywood elites retweeting this ambush video care anything about that fact.

Well, the Fascists (Democrats) are rising up. They see the Republicans as the “Modern Day Jews” that must be eradicated. the Fascists always need a new scapegoat to project their hate and bigotry onto

Hopefully, Goldfarb can find grounds to sue the pants off of CNN. I pray Fake News and slanderous libelous celebrities are sued into oblivion.

CNN posted anti trump rallies on tv, that had been sponsored by the Russians. They are incredible hypocrites.

Except this time there are no weimar gun laws or Nuremberg Laws. They ignore the law of unintended consequences at their own peril.

I think it’s time to start a public list of “journalists” with all of their contact and address info.

They knowingly put people in danger with their professional malpractice.

Thanks Republican Wildcat. Facebook trolling activity? She needs to report that. She needs to download her entire personal pile of files first, because FB's response will be some kind of nonsense form letter and her own ban.

Did the reporter have the intelligence to get an interview with the major celebrity involved in one of these false flag” demonstrations-—Like Michael Moore involvment in the NYC anti-Trump march.

Drew Griffin doesn’t even breathe unless a producer tells him to. Start at the top with Exec. Producer Patricia DiCarlo, or perhaps Senior Producer Scott Bronstein as the power behind this ambush journalism. They cut Griffen’s check to cover field operations.
