CNN analyst Chris Cillizza deletes tweet showing Trump in crosshairs
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/15/2018 | Eddie Scarry

Chris Cillizza, a political analyst for CNN, deleted a tweet he sent out Tuesday that included an image appearing to show President Trump in crosshairs.

In a separate tweet, Cillizza said the graphic was unintended and the result of a computer program he and his team used.

"I’ve deleted a GIF about President Trump," he wrote. "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."

A GIF is a type of digital graphic that sometimes show motion in the image.

Cillizza sent the initial tweet Tuesday morning using a photo of Trump, who spoke that day at the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in Washington.

"Donald Trump, pointing to heavens to commemorate police officers killed in the line of duty," Cillizza wrote in the since-deleted post.

There is no confusion, Chris.

I think it demonstrates EXACTLY how you feel.

Remember at the time of the Tucson shooting, liberals blame Sarah Palin in crosshairs on a map for that shooting? And the Liberals admonished us about using any violent imagery or words.

If if they are held to the Run criteria this dude needs to resign. This is completely unacceptable / liberals own criteria bye-bye Chris.

How can you show his face in public after this incident based on how the Liberals bitched at us about using violent imagery?

Imagine if someone had done that to Obama?

They would be arrested and the media would be covering their trial and conviction and hanging 24/7.

Will MSNBC and CNN bimbos be screeching for an ‘apology’?

Nope.

(Lefty bimbos don't care about 'apologies' WHEN the target's a Republican...unless the Republican's a quisling...)

Cilizza once has a smidgen of credibility due to his occasional decent reporting. All of that is gone now. The FBI needs to pay him a visit.

Didn't the Left wet their pants over something Palin did....only to be busted by nothing they had done a similar thing?

Imagine if Fox had done this....or el'Rushbo.

>>>Remember at the time of the Tucson shooting, liberals blame Sarah Palin in crosshairs on a map for that shooting?<<<

Liberals can’t tell the difference between Map Points and Crosshairs.

Magazine = Clip
Baby = Fetus
Murder= Choice
AR-15 = Weapon of War, Assault Rifle, Assault Weapon.
POTUS Trump = Nazi, Tyrant, anything they think up at the time.

She put targets on different areas of the US that needed our votes. They had a cow over that. Hardly close to what this asshat did.
