"this horrid creature"
That could refer to a few people.
She has a lot to answer for.
How many deaths could be traced back to her, for platforming anti-vaxxers?

Mayor: You're not doing enough to protect us from ICE.
Dems: You didn't do enough to protect yourselves from ICE.

"everywhere across media"
He's not on Fox.
If he's too embarrassing for Fox, then unmasking him is a good thing. Sane people are bewildered what drives MAGA to be so insane. This is part of helping them understand the cult.
