CNN is being mocked for sympathetically asking a Mexican cartel gangbanger how he felt about President Trump branding them as terrorists — only for him to say he respects the commander in chief.
The lefty outlet aired the beautiful interview with the masked Sinaloa Cartel gangster on Saturday after Trump vowed to clamp down on the murderous drug trafficking group and the stream of fentanyl at the moment pouring into the US.
“According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist … What do you make of that?” CNN’s Isobel Yeung requested the cartel member.
The gangster — who closely shielded his identification with a face masking, sun shades and even latex gloves — responded: “Well, the situation is ugly but we have to eat.”
The reporter, who famous the section was filmed in a secret Mexican hideout, then pressed the gangster on what he would say to Trump — with an sudden response.
“My respect. According to him, he’s looking out for his people.,” the cartel member replied.
“But the problem is the consumers are in the United States If there weren’t any consumers we would stop.”
The outlet was instantly ridiculed on social media with many accusing the reporter of making an attempt to bait the gangbanger into giving a Trump-bashing reply.
“CNN is in full meltdown mode. All their usual smear tactics have failed—again. So what’s their next brilliant move? Interviewing the freaking Sinaloa Cartel,” one individual posted on X. “They were clearly hoping for a “Trump is evil” soundbite. As a substitute? Complete backfire.”
“Not the answer the Communist News Network wanted,” one other X person stated mockingly.
Others, in the meantime, brutally ripped the community for making an attempt to color the cartel in a sympathetic gentle.
“So CNN is concerned about hurting the cartel’s feelings? This isn’t the flex they think it is. It’s offensive to Americans,” one individual tweeted.
“Unbelievably, CNN gives Sinaloa cartel member a chance to throw a pity party about being labeled a terrorist, but the cartel member tells them President Trump is just rightly ‘looking after his people’,” one person wrote.
