CNN roasted for interviewing Sinaloa Cartel gangster, asking how he felt about Trump labeling him a terrorist
CNN is being mocked for sympathetically asking a Mexican cartel gangbanger how he felt about President Trump branding them as terrorists — just for him to say he respects the commander in chief. The lefty outlet aired the stunning 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 currently pouring into the US. 'According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist … What do you make of that?' CNN's Isobel Yeung asked the cartel member. 4 CNN reporter Isobel Yeung spoke to the cartel gangbanger. CNN 4 Trump has vowed to crack down on drug cartels. Getty Images The gangster — who heavily shielded his identity with a face covering, sunglasses and even latex gloves — responded: 'Well, the situation is ugly but we have to eat.' The reporter, who noted the segment was filmed in a secret Mexican hideout, then pressed the gangster on what he would say to Trump — with an unexpected 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 immediately ridiculed on social media with many accusing the reporter of trying to bait the gangbanger into giving a Trump-bashing answer. 4 The gangbanger had an unexpected response when asked what he would say to the commander in chief. CNN '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 person posted on X. 'They were clearly hoping for a 'Trump is evil' soundbite. Instead? Total backfire.' 'Not the answer the Communist News Network wanted,' another X user said mockingly. Others, meanwhile, brutally ripped the network for trying to paint the cartel in a sympathetic light. 4 A suspected drug vessel burns in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, Feb. 1, 2025. The U.S. Coast Guard has seized $509.9 million in suspected cartel drugs. CPO Nicole Groll/USCG / SWNS '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 person 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 user wrote.
