Recently, the presenter marked a milestone by being, along with her colleague Angela Lerena, the first entirely female duo to report and comment on a World Cup. The news was very well received in the sports world and in the media, and even the president of the Nation himself Alberto Fernandez expressed his congratulations.
But the celebration for the conquest did not last long, when old tweets from Lola del Carrill, where he expressed himself with phrases that soon caused the outrage of a large number of users. “Blacks don’t go to heaven because if it doesn’t get cloudy”, “I see two blacks taking a shower and I swear it disgusts me” and “Please get these gays out of me” are just some of the violent messages that went viral.
At first, one of the arguments put forward by its defenders was that perhaps they were fake tweetsor from when she was younger: Del Carril is 23. However, some of those tweets date back five or six years, and were written between 2017 and 2019.
But the controversial tweets of the announcer are not only those with phrases focused on minorities. There were also several tweets against Kirchnerism and specifically against the current vice president, Cristina Kirchner.
“When is Kirchnerism going to disappear? My eyes cry”, “Che, we kill Cristina and sacrifice a person and save an entire country, are you doing?”, “there is no justificationthe head blacks are the majority, whatever we do, they vote for it”, are just some of the examples.
