Deena Zaru, Deputy Digital Editor for ABC News' Washington, D.C. bureau, where I manage social accounts, set strategy and coverage priorities by monitoring and analyzing digital trends and data.

​ I've been covering the intersection of pop culture and politics since 2015 for CNN and now, for ABC News.

My career at CNN began with an internship in 2009 and spans nearly seven years. I worked as a guest booker for CNN's "State of the Union," and a digital producer and writer for CNN Politics until 2018.

I am Palestinian-American and fluent in English and Arabic.

“Mob”?

[jdsteel]

You should’ve put on a “hurl alert”.

Trump won the election in an absolute landslide.

Antifa were let into the Capitol where they caused mayhem while clutching American flags.

Deena Zaru is really bad at this.

[shadeaud]

And she is dumb as a doorbell when seeking out the truth

FIXED: “They say attempts to unite those extremist elements fell apart after Charlottesville but gained renewed momentum after //successful leftist agitprop// in 2020, with racial unrest, the pandemic and most recently the unfounded controversy over the election.”

Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a sociology professor at American University who studies extremism and far-right movements, said that those who stormed the Capitol are a “loose coalition” of groups from across the far-right spectrum.

Like Antifa?

[DesertRhino]

The media and DC is infested with foreigners who despise everything Scott America. They are thrilled about the coup.

“He showed Americans that they can win!” (angry voice)

[DesertRhino]

I see the Palestinians have moved beyond the Olympic Games and hijacking airliners.

Oh good God-—How long do we have to put up with these propagandist lies. I’m tired of the “Nazi-—KKK” BS lie. The Democrat party and their platform are actually that of the Nazis/socialist party.

[bray]

Did she look into the Antifa involvement in the riot? Of course not, she is a tool for the Dems.

[HighSierra5]

She obviously has no clue about our heritage,patriotism and revulsion to tyranny. She’s ...... never mind.

[chajin]

Don’t need to read anything after “mob.”

BURNING DOWN A CITY IS A MOB. A HALF MILLION PEOPLE PEACEFULLY MARCHING IS AMERICA.

I never thought the Reichstag could happen here.

[TTFlyer]

Where’s your burqa, woman. Rag head women are to be little seen and never heard.

[cranked]

The Left’s delusional spin continues.......

[grobdriver]

Experts say

I almost always stop reading at those words.

People who use a straw man argument right out of the box to somehow legitimize their opinion tells me their opinion stinks.

[ConservativeInPA]

I am at a loss for words. Excuse me while I hurl.

[hawkaw]

I agree with just about everything in this article.

[Wonder Warthog]

"And Trump, unlike past presidents, gave these disparate groups a national platform unlike any they'd had in modern American history with the instantaneous recognition and feedback of social media."

Which the "progressives" have enjoyed since the Vietnam War. I guess that is why "demonstrations" by leftists are so "peaceful" by comparison (/sarc).

Midway through Trump’s speech I checked the news and saw that we had lost both Senate races in Georgia. After the speech, marching with everyone else toward the Capitol, I felt a feeling of despair.

I was not incited by the speech in any way shape or form. Like everyone else I had arrived in DC angry about an election being stolen. And we wanted an investigation into the matter that, until this day, has not occurred.

The Supreme Court washed it’s hands of the matter when they decided not to hear the Texas case concerning politicians and judges changing election laws without approval of state legislatures.

There’s a lot of incitement blame to place at the feet of those who willingly either participated in the fraud or turned a blind eye to it.

And President Trump hopefully addresses it during this disgrace of an impeachment hearing. Rub their faces in it!
