The journalist, known for seeking impact, ended up being questioned by her own colleagues. Her stance was seen as a way of minimizing the violence suffered by Robertito.

Yanina Latorre replied directly: "Are you justifying the aggression? Hatred has blinded you". With this statement, the panelist exposed Pazos's contradiction and received support from many users.
Far from de-escalating, Pazos doubled down and blamed Milei's voters for encouraging violence.
