A cartoon from Adam Zyglis who came in The Buffalo News This week has led to indignation and even death threats.
In the image with one frame, a man who wears a Maga hat seems to drown in the flood water while holding up a sign with a message that a big government denies. People were angry because of the sentiment and aiming Trump supporters, but even more because so many people died as a result of the flood, including children.
A museum in Buffalo was planning to plan an event that would contain Zyglis’s work, but it was carefully postponed.
The corresponding press Reports:
Death threats about Texas Flooding Cartoon Force Museum Journalism event to postpone
An event to support the local report was postponed after death threats against a journalist for his newspaper editor about the catastrophic floods in Texas, according to a Union.
An online anger broke out this week about an editorial cartoon in the Buffalo News of Pulitzer Prize winner Adam Zyglis who showed a man in a Maga-Pet who was wiped out by the floods in Texas. Nose deep in the water, the man holds up a plate that reads ‘help’ and a speech bubble that floats downstream, says, “Gov’t the problem, not the solution.”
At least 120 people were killed in the floods of Texas and more than 170 were missing.
The Buffalo Newspaper Guild said that a Happy Hour event on Thursday in the Buffalo History Museum called “Drawing Support for Local Journalism” was postponed in the midst of the return. The free, public event was planned to emphasize the need for local journalism on a museum exhibition of the work of Zyglis.
You can see the cartoon and some angry comments below:
A special kind of evil is needed to mock victims of Kerrville Texas floods. The message from @adamzyglis and the @Thebuffalonews is clear: if you support @Potus Then you and your children deserve to die.
Now Zyglis is nagging because he received a recoil.

What’s wrong with left -wing? Why do so many of them seem to react with Glee to such situations?
