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.

Oh, yeah, blame it on the computer program...........................Like you didn’t see it when you were making the gif, a$$hole...................
And Jim Acosta still fears that Trump’s rhetoric endangers “reporters”.
The Secret Service must pay this hack a visit.
Then arrest him.
He undoubtedly saw what it looked like before he sent it out, but chose to go ahead. His claim that it was in error is BS. The only thing he regrets is that people called him on it.
Sarah Palin was practically LYNCHED for posting a similar picture of a DISTRICT!
Chris you LYING SOS! That was 100% intentional!
When will CNN fire him for instigating violence against the President of the United States?
Paragons of virtue. "CNN Blurs 'Trump 2016' Logo From Hero's T-Shirt":
Of course he is. This is CNN we're talking about. That deeyooosh will get a promotion.
Oh, I am suuuuuuuuuure that they'll get right on it. As soon as they're done leveling that mountain of damning evidence pointing to their own incompetence.
