A routine political rallying post from the official Democrats account on X quickly turned into a heated online clash.
President Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, responded to the post, saying that Democrats had nominated their first transgender Senate candidate in Texas.
The Democrats account shot back with a derogatory comment, prompting Stephen Miller's wife, Katie Miller, to name the person behind the account, Paulina Mangubat, and post a series of personal attacks.
Mangubat, the Deputy Chief Mobilization Officer for the Democratic National Committee, was defended by users on X, who called out Katie Miller's behavior as 'evil' and 'miserable'.
Here are five key things to know about Paulina Mangubat:
Mangubat is the daughter of Filipino immigrants and graduated from Barnard College in 2017 with a degree in political science and East Asian studies.
She currently works as Deputy Chief Mobilization Officer for the Democratic National Committee and has previously worked as digital and creative director for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and a Washington DC-based political ad firm.
Mangubat is also a photographer, videographer, and designer, and has coined the term 'content amnesia' to describe how quickly creators forget their own work in the fast-moving world of digital media.
Amid the row with Miller, Mangubat took to X to share that she's getting married, posting a photo of herself in a wedding dress.
