Every once in a while, a moment goes viral that possibly catches a person at a bad moment, or a wholesome one in less common occurrences, and people decide to handle the sudden onset of fame in different ways. Some people crash out, some get incredibly angry and start issuing threats, but sometimes, you have to laugh at yourself. We recently reported about a Washington DC reporter who had a scary-looking moment in a now-viral clip. Well, she has a name, and she has decided to laugh it off.
In a now-viral clip, which we and many other viral news sites reported, a blurry surveillance video seemed to showcase a reporter. Still, she appeared very scary due to the video’s low bitrate and artifacts, which made the conspiracy theorists go nuts with talks of lizard people, aliens, and good old-fashioned demonic possessions.
Well, her name is Molly Martinez, a DC press reporter with a hilarious sense of humor and some of the wittiest comebacks we’ve seen on X. Her post drove the internet wild, and the only thing funnier was her responses to some of the accusations. The bold quotes are from Molly responding to a random person’s often insane Tweet.
“Only Shape-shifting Aliens would use the word “objectively”. Where is your Mothership???”
“So true king!”
“Gee, you think you know someoneโฆ”
“Hahaha”
“Are you a swamp style reptilian or a cold cave type?”
“Waitโฆ is this a date??”
“Were you aware you had a nictitating membrane?”
“Thanks for letting me know Grand Spaghetti Wizard!”
Molly, as you can see, has a pretty great sense of humor, as the video shows, so it’s either fight against the tide or swim with it. She also frequently reports from Washington DC, sharing many adventures and detailed news reports on her X account.
