On March 24, TV host-turned-politician Karla Estrada chided a VP Leni Robredo supporter that poked fun at a Bongbong Marcos supporter.
On her Twitter account, she condemned the actions of the netizen for poking fun at a person with a disability on social media.
She even posted a screenshot of an Instagram story calling out the insensitive comment of the VP Leni supporter.
“Hindi ko lang ito kaya kailangan ko lang magsalita, naawa ako sa kalagayan ni kuya na may kapansanan sa mata. Grabe naman ang comment na ito di na makatao.”
“Yan lang ang kaya mo mangutya??? Porke’t di kayo magkapareho ng pinaglalaban???? Pasalamat ka na lang at buo ang sanggkap ng mukha mo!”
Isa lang ito sa nagutya sa taong may kapansanan ng dahil hindi tayo magkakatugma ng pinaniniwalaan. Nakakasulasok na pamamaraan, hindi ka makakatulong sa sinusuportahan mo. pic.twitter.com/Ut1MHEqFEh

Her tweet seemed to backfire as it sparked reactions from netizens calling her out.
Some netizens shared screenshots of disturbing comments from BBM supporters, criticizing Estrada’s “double standard.”
So kayo lng pwede sa mga bomb threat at assassination attempts? Double standards ka din eh.

Others shared proof of how toxic BBM supporters are on social media.
Wag ka pavictim. Lahat ng grupo may toxic. Pero di namin makakalimutan yong sa pagsusuot ni Xyriel Manabat ng maiiksing damit at marami pang iba. pic.twitter.com/MXVVWxJwTZ

Omg Karla Estrada, have you seen kung paaano nilalait, minaliit at patuloy na binababoy ang pagkatao ni VP Leni. Kami lang as kakampink, grabe nalang din kami laitin at bastusin ng mga kapwa mo loyolist. What this kakampink did is so so wrong and we do not agree to it.

One netizen pointed out that VP Leni supporters have already chided the said netizen while challenging Estrada to call out fake news peddlers favoring BBM.

Other netizens recalled how Estrada used to bully her Magandang Buhay co-host Melai Cantiveros on live TV.
Ganyan din po ang nararamdaman namin sa araw-araw na pangungutya mo kay Melai. 😢
