The stunning display of America\u2019s military in flyovers celebrating the nation\u2019s 250th birthday set one New York Times<\/em> reporter on edge, igniting a different sort of fireworks on social media.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s made good on his promise to deliver epic America 250 Independence Day celebrations in Washington, D.C., including a historic procession of aircraft that roared over appreciative crowds. But for Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a podcaster for the Times<\/em>, it was too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are we having so many jets scorching over DC?\u201d the host of \u201cThe Interview\u201d asked in a post on X on July 3. \u201cNerve-wracking. I get 250 celebrations but it feels like the apocalypse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why are we having so many jets scorching over DC? Nerve-wracking. I get 250 celebrations but it feels like the apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Her post would go on to earn more than four thousand comments on X, where she was buried under criticism.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry America is happening to you<\/p>\n

I had to check to make sure this wasn\u2019t a parody account \"\ud83d\ude02\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sad the loud noises of Air Supremacy scare you,\u201d snarked the US Oil & Gas Association account.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome to American superiority. You have them to thank for being able to enjoy your soy latte and yoga pants in peace and security,\u201d wrote country music singer-songwriter John Rich.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can hope it\u2019s the apocalypse for the America-hating that your publication foments and spews,\u201d the Federalist\u2019s Mollie Hemingway wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be lonely being someone who absolutely loves America and lives in the DC area,\u201d Hemingway added in another post, calling out Garcia-Navarro as a \u201cpropagandist.\u201d<\/p>\n

It can be lonely being someone who absolutely loves America and lives in the DC area. Like this New York Times propagandist below, many neighbors also show no love. They have trans flags and USAID flags, but not American. It\u2019s almost like being in a foreign or occupied country. https:\/\/t.co\/7hIqrDS6OW<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTRIGGER WARNING: Well, Happy Independence Day. I don\u2019t like fireworks either! Why? I have PTSD from covering wars. Your body remembers the sounds of conflict even if you are past the effects,\u201d fired back Garcia-Navarro, the Peabody Award-winning journalist who spent time covering wars and international conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut also, lots of people don\u2019t like jets and fireworks! My niece who is with me has auditory processing disorder. There are lots of ways to love America and celebrate Independence Day. Enjoy yours!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

But the self-defense was not enough to shield Garcia-Navarro from the onslaught of criticism.<\/p>\n

\n

I work in a veterans home with men that have all fought in wars. They all just laughed at this post. \"\ud83d\ude44\"<\/p>\n

Well, give her credit for leaving the comments on. She\u2019s getting roasted. May even get PTSD<\/p>\n
