CNN editor at large Chris Cillizza tweeted out a picture of POTUS Trump appearing in gun crosshairs with the wording “police officers killed” then deleted it after receiving backlash for what looked to be an assassination threat against Trump. Imagine if anyone at Fox News ever tweet such an image with Hussein Obama’s face in the crosshairs and talking about those “killed.” Screen shots of Cillizza’s now deleted tweet are all over the Internet in case he thinks people will forget this disgusting tweet. This is CNN:

After the backlash, Cillizza tried to blame a GIF editor as the reason tweeting out the photo of Trump in crosshairs:
I’ve deleted a GIF about President Trump. We use @GifGrabber to make our GIFs and it defaults to the image below as a first frame. To clear up any unintended confusion, I’ve removed the tweet. pic.twitter.com/x6PCKoiW16

Yea, sure Chrissy boy. Because whenever I tweet GIFs with my phone, I always get that “error” too. This is CNN. This is exactly what the network is, hoping for the death of a president. Can’t wait until the Secret Service pays Chris Cillizza a visit.
