How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
Communist News Network ^ | July 4, 2017 | Andrew Kaczynski

(CNN) The Reddit user who initially claimed credit for President Donald Trump's tweet that showed Trump tackling CNN issued an apology Tuesday for the video and other offensive content he posted -- one day after CNN identified the man behind the account and attempted to make contact with him.

Reddit user "HanA**holeSolo" first shared the GIF last Wednesday of Trump pummeling a wrestler with CNN's logo imposed on his face. CNN could find no earlier instance of the GIF. The GIF was later edited into a video with sound and tweeted by the President on Sunday. On Reddit, "HanA**holeSolo" took credit for inspiring the tweet. Soon after, "HanA**holeSolo's" other posts on Reddit, some of which included racist and anti-Semitic imagery, quickly circulated on social media.

Now the user is apologizing, writing in a lengthy post on Reddit that he does not advocate violence against the press and expressing remorse there and in an interview with CNN for other posts he made that were racist and anti-Semitic.

I just went there. Wiki must have deleted the edit. It seems rather normal and tame.

Thank all of you for the information on Kaczynski. Oh man, if he really wrote that, he's toast. CNN will fire him and no one else will hire him. If he is not terminated, it will destroy the credibility of the network. Either way, we win. It is unbelievable that he posted THAT.

Just as I posted some days ago, the media (CNN in particular) now HAS to find information leading to the impeachment of Trump or their organizations are finished. The people will rise up and find a way to target their advertisers to bring their businesses to bankruptcy over all of this.

Sent CNN my 2 cents. Signed the petition to my representatives asking for no more funding to show CNN at airports.

Needs to be cut off from all of the Federal agencies too. It plays there 24/7.

About an hour ago, 4chan/pol posted screen shots of KFIle Andrew Kaczynski’s computer...a listing of videos...he’s got one on how to watch porn on your XBox.

Another one of those progressives "just doing research" on porn

CNN’s competitors should take advantage of this opportunity to stick it to CNN and force CNN out of business. I would.

“I can’t emphasize how bad this is on CNN’s part,” wrote German Lopez, a reporter for liberal website Vox. “This is basically ‘don’t post stuff we don’t like or we’ll dox you.’ Extremely unethical.”

If I understand correctly, they posted this article claiming his deleted posts were anti-semitic and racist AFTER he had deleted everything and couldn’t even defend himself from any lie they wanted to claim about him. Am I getting that right?

CNN and the deep state are not just in bed with each other; they are cut from the same bolt of fabric.

Ever see The Killing Fields? CNN has become the Khmer Rouge of the media: demanding that “old people” come forward to confess their “crimes” before being destroyed.

That took them about 15 minutes. They’re quite impressive.
