What a horrible human being this person is. I'm positively fuming. How dare she!

Part of why a whole lot of people outside the US don't like people from the US.

Yes to retiring the word "influencer", but I accept the suggestion below to replace it with "influenzer".

And yes, she's an asshole and that video was atrocious.

Reserve for someone who gives you influenza?

That’s an influenzer. Of course.

Gili, dammit, allow the spelling joke!!

“Influenzer” is a fantastic word which I will use from now on, thanks to you. Which makes you an influenzer influencer. Tangentially, it also got me thinking how clever it was to call paper handkerchiefs “tissues”, because that way you literally ask for one when you sneeze. A-TISSue!

Well, she is a hunter. Callous disregard for the lives of wild animals is pretty much her thing.
