A Buffalo, NY journalist, Adam Zyglis, faced death threats following his editorial cartoon depicting a man in a MAGA hat being swept away by Texas floodwaters. The cartoon, published in The Buffalo News, sparked online outrage. Consequently, a planned event supporting local journalism, showcasing Zyglis' work, was postponed due to threats against the cartoonist and his family.
