Vice President Victoria Villarruel starred in a new crossover on social networks after receiving an offensive comment on Instagram. A user identified as Ernesto attacked her with the term “dyke,” an insult that derogatorily refers to her sexual orientation. This type of attack, which seeks to denigrate the person for aspects of their private life, is particularly serious because there is no public information to support the user’s insinuations, and, in any case, it should not be a cause for ridicule or offense.
In response, the politician did not remain silent and responded with a forceful message: “An older man pretending to be alive. Ernesto, despite having gray hair, you have the brain of a canary in a coma, please take care of being remembered for something more than writing nonsense on the networks.”
It should be noted that Villarruel is an active figure on social networks, where she maintains a constant and close presence with her followers. It is common to see her interact with those who express support, thanking them with cordial messages or highlighting initiatives that support her. However, he is also characterized by not letting aggressive or misplaced comments pass, responding with a tone that combines wit and firmness, as demonstrated in this episode. This attitude has turned her into a polarizing figure, admired by some for her frankness and criticized by others who believe that an official of her rank should avoid this type of public exchanges.
The incident takes place at a time of high political tension for Villarruel. Since the differences with President Javier Milei became public, the vice president has faced a growing wave of criticism and attacks, especially from libertarian sectors that support the president. Her strong character and her willingness to not back down in the face of attacks, both in Congress and in the networks, consolidate her as a figure that does not go unnoticed in the Argentine political scene.
