TEARS FOR TERRORISTS?! CNN Has Totally Lost It, Interviews Cartel Member About Trump Labeling Him a Terrorist [WATCH]

Really, CNN? Like, really?!

CNN is facing serious backlash for airing a sympathetic interview with a Mexican Sinaloa cartel member—only for the gangbanger to say he respects President Trump, despite being labeled a terrorist by him.

The failing news network broadcast a masked cartel member’s remarks over the weekend, just after Trump vowed to crack down on the cartel and the deadly flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

“According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist …  What do you make of that?” CNN’s Isobel Yeung asked the cartel member.

“Well, the situation is ugly but we have to eat,” the terrorist responded.

Yeung, who noted the segment was filmed in a secret Mexican hideout, 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 that the consumers are in the United States. If there weren’t any consumers, we would stop.”

Watch the clip below:

“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.

“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.
