Local news anchor Whitney Burney in Grand Rapids, Michigan shared with her Twitter followers an abusive email she received from a viewer.

“The kinds of emails you get when you work in news,” she tweeted on Saturday, including a screenshot of the email. “He even had the nerve to leave his cell phone, address and occupation in the email signature. And said if I’m the wrong person please forward this message. Huh?? LMAO.”

The email appeared to be from a local doctor. His contact information had been redacted in the screenshot shared on Twitter by Ms Burney.

1. She is a lot nicer than I would have been

I would have not redacted his contact information.

3. AMEN!

[madaboutharry]

2. What?

She is beautiful.

I think he must be a racist misogynist.

23. That, along with being in the cess pool that is social media.

Trump isn't the only one who has emboldened all the assholes out there to come out from under their rocks and treat people like shit. Twitter, Facebook, and the rest make it easy for them, too. I'm surprised this scumbag used his real name. Most of 'em don't have the guts, and spew their hate anonymously.

And, yes. She's gorgeous. The giggling couch tumors on Fox"News" wear far more make-up than this woman.

5. This was about HER?

I thought it was about the cast of Fox and Frauds

6. this guy against makeup or something?

looks fine to me

21. A lot of people are

When my niece got married, she had me do hers. We did a “trial run” the day before, and my mom just went apeshit over the fact that her granddaughter was going to wear makeup at her wedding.

By this point in the wedding preparations niece was completely over Mom’s shit, so when we got away from her, my niece asked for “a lot more makeup tomorrow.” Can do easy, GI.

7. Um ... um ... how would HE know?

[Takket]

8. I'd like to see a follow up with the "attacker"

Before this guy gets destroyed, small people attacking public women ANONYMOUSLY is common, but doesn’t seem right a “doctor” is stupid enough to do it with his name and phone number.

I would entertain the possibility he was hacked by someone and that message sent to try and make him look bad knowing it would go public. Worth asking him that question before he is completely cancelled.

If it was really him then, ruin him.

10. .

but doesn’t seem right a “doctor” is stupid enough to do it with his name and phone number.

People who put their name and contact info on emails like this aren't stupid. They're just that secure in their opinions that they don't care who knows it.

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Really? Remember that stupid lawyer and his wife holding weapons outside their house in MO?

Remember that doctor who said tfg was a fine physical specimen?

Remember all those doctors lying outside of Walter Reed when tfg was there?

Remember that doctor who claimed Covid was the result of demons in dreams?

No reason a doctor or any other professional is less stupid than any other rando.

[Takket]

28. you sited 4 nice examples. and how many people in the USA have a Doctorate?

[FM123]

9. Wow, and this is someone's doctor......

a person who took an oath to do no harm, and he has this kind of abusive and harmful mindset. I wouldn't let him treat my daughter (or any of my family members for that matter).

[Tommymac]

16. And an Expert Witness to boot.

Wonder if he will be running for Senator in his state now.

Fucking racists and misogynists.

[FM123]

26. Expert witness? Maybe in trumpy's world....

[JanMichael]

27. Looks like typical douchy dude with a dead caterpillar stash and flowery short sleeve shirt.

Probably steps on peoples flower gardens while walking his designer miniature goldenpoo and pretending to pick up its shit.

KKK loving asshat.

11. I watch her all the time

Wood is the good local news that I trust. And race is almost assuredly the factor here.

The conservative FOX17 local news is the other option, they used be be good, but when Sinclair took them over they fired all the normal looking hosts and hired only skinny model looking women who wear a ton of makeup. They sure are pretty, but a couple of them can’t even read the news. And they spun everything during the Trump years, it was subtle and sickening. The local news is trusted and FOX17 was distorting everything.

So for this doctor to target one of the black hosts from the less conservative station while ignoring the hosts on FOX17 who wear more makeup tells me race is probably at play. What a creep.

17. One of the Fox station's hosts claims that this guy has harassed them, too:

12. Bad grammar, too.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. Something very wrong with that man.

I find that scary.

[Mr. Ected]

14. Physician, fuck thyself

You no-good heel.

Sorry. I'm venting by proxy as the young lady who was targeted was far too refined to do so.

[jmowreader]

15. How many "whores" does this doctor know?

If it was me he sent this to, I’d have the overwhelming urge to go on camera tomorrow night in even more makeup than usual just to piss this guy off.

[ificandream]

20. Probably quite a few. Very very well, I suspect.

[Corgigal]

18. Sounds like a man

finding a woman attractive, and blaming her for it.

Tale as old as time.

[tblue37]

19. You beat me to it.

[tishaLA]

24. Reminds me of this story from New Orleans

https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/new-orleans-anchor-told-africa-pendant-un-american/238538/

A black anchor who wore a (very tasteful FWIW) pendant of Africa received an email saying she should stop wearing it because “you are an American first and should be proud of that.”

She replied to him via twitter with a succinct message: "Nah."

25. double standard. Italian Americans proudly show Italian flags and accessories, Irish Americans, etc
