San Antonio Reporter Target of Racist Harassment While On Assignment
On Tuesday evening {January 23}, Ashlei King, a reporter for KABB Fox29 and News4SA, was setting up in front of a school in San Antonio, getting ready to go live on the 10 o'clock show.
But minutes before her segment was set to air, King found herself in the midst of a racist outburst from complete strangers.
“They drove by and they yelled ‘F the government. You effing fake news. F you, you n-word.’ And they kept saying it, like you n-word, you n-word, you n-word,” King described in a Facebook Live video about the incident.
King said it wasn’t the first time people have yelled while she’s been filming a segment — but “this time, it was different.” She said at first, she decided to let it go, thinking maybe they were “some young punks.” Then, the car came back around a second time.
“They were like, f you you n-word, you effing n-word, f-you f-you you n-word n-word n-word. And at that time, I’m kind of angry, because you know, I’m like how, why would somebody do this? And I couldn’t really understand it,” King said.
