Curses and Death Threats Rain Down on Hillary-Backing Republican Newspapers

Editors and journalists from Republican-leaning newspapers describe the sometimes menacing pushback they’ve received after backing the Democrat candidate.

As Election Day looms, it’s ugly out there—uglier, in fact, than anyone can remember as reliably Republican newspapers absorb readers’ abuse, vitriol and even vows of violence for endorsing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

The Arizona Republic, which broke with 126 years of tradition to support Clinton for president instead of the GOP nominee, might be unique in having to grapple with death threats from apparently enraged Trump supporters—a circumstance that has attracted international media as well serious attention from law enforcement authorities—but it’s hardly unique in fielding curses, insults and foul language from a mob wielding the internet equivalent of torches and pitchforks.

Indeed, in mid-September, after The Dallas Morning News recommended Clinton—and slammed Trump for “an astounding absence of preparedness” and “exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny”—top editor Mike Wilson found himself confronting a crowd of angry, screaming Trump supporters who had marched on the paper’s headquarters across from Dealey Plaza.
. . .

A Daily Beast survey of six Clinton-backing Republican dailies in Texas, Michigan, Arizona and Ohio—all states, except Texas, in which various public opinion polls have indicated a close race between the major-party contenders—suggests a season of unprecedented rage.

“In this era, you get used to people’s lack of restraint or incivility,” said Peter Bhatia, top editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which endorsed Clinton in late September. “But certainly our endorsement has brought out the worst in a lot of people.”

Bhatia, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, added: “This election has provoked passions of a sort unlike any other I’ve seen in the 40 years I’ve been doing this…Curse words, really nasty personal comments, wishing ill on either the institution or members of the editorial board or me personally.

Phil Boas, editorial page editor of the Arizona Republic—which noted in its Clinton endorsement that “we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never”—said of the death threats, “We took some measures to protect our employees. We’ve had detectives in here interviewing some of our folks who got the phone calls.”

. . .

Boas said that after the Clinton endorsement, “the phones were ringing off the hook with angry callers. One of the death threats was harkening back to Bolles, and blowing up things. How unusual it is in America to have journalists killed. Right across the border in Mexico, it’s so common that dozens are dying every year.”

. . .

A reader engagement employee at the Republican-leaning Grand Rapids Press meanwhile, has coped with more than 100 nasty letters, phone calls and emails since the paper’s print edition endorsed Clinton this past Sunday and on Oct. 27 on the web. . .

So far only one response to the Clinton endorsement—which was signed apparently by a real person—caused the employee enough concern to alert top MLive Media Groups executives. “Fuck you, Murderer!” the letter advised.
