Death threats over Texas flooding cartoon force museum journalism event to be postponed

Adam Zyglis faced backlash for a Buffalo News cartoon depicting a MAGA hat-wearing man swept away by Texas floodwaters. The man is holding up a sign that says “Help” and a speech bubble floating downstream reads “Gov’t is the problem not the solution.” The Buffalo Newspaper Guild said Thursday’s event was postponed after threats against to the journalist and his family. The guild and Zyglis condemned the threats. The guild plans to reschedule the event.
