I think it's more likely that Fukumoto has a target on her back nationally in the eyes of lunatic fringe Republicans, and all Trumpians.

Don't know for sure but I assume she's at least a minor cause-celebre on right wing, White Supremacist, Trumpian websites.

Look at the venom that's spewed against her here.  "Conspiracy" theories (fabrication, fake news, splitting hairs spin on the lack of verifiable identity), her leaving the GOP, all became a focal point for and from those you would expect, as well as others who obviously have her in their sites.  

All the usual right wing, White Supremacist, Trumpian tactics, approaches, thought processes and bile just comes spewing out.
