(Bloomberg) -- Twitter user Eylin Tabbert regularly lashed out against Hillary Clinton during the U.S. presidential campaign. Within hours of a truck plowing into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin, she turned her focus on a new target: Angela Merkel.
Blood on her hands: Merkels open borders blamed for refugee truck terrorist deaths, Tabbert posted on Twitter, above a manipulated picture showing the chancellor spattered in blood beside an image of the truck used in the attack.
Eylin Tabbert, who has about 4,000 followers and tweets dozens of times a day under the handle EylinHurt, is just one of multiple users now posting angry or abusive messages about Merkel.
Since Monday nights attack, the chancellors Facebook page has been flooded with hundreds of negative comments, many written by accounts with just a handful or no visible Facebook friends. On Twitter, dozens of users who backed Donald Trump are now posting identical text and images targeting Merkel, suggesting they are robotic accounts -- so-called bots -- waging a larger attack.
