CNN Gets Called Out for Mocking Indian-American WH Official's Name

CNN has been hammering President Trump 24/7 since reports that he called Haiti, El Salvador and African nations "s***hole" countries. Multiple anchors, guests and analysts called Trump a racist live on air.

The context makes Chris Cuomo's comment about a White House official on Monday pretty hypocritical. During yet another segment about Trump's "s**hole" comments, the anchor thought it appropriate to mock Indian-American White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah by not even bothering to find out his full name.

“We went to the White House when it happened, Raj whatever-his-name-is didn’t back off the words,” Cuomo said.

Shah kindly informed them that he does indeed have a full name.

.@ChrisCuomo and CNN viewers, it's Raj Shah https://t.co/4kmYYrsHPX via @dailycaller— Raj Shah (@RajShah45) January 15, 2018

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wasn't so kind to the network - especially since they weren't first time offenders. In December, the outlet confused Shah with an Obama administration official.

Last month @CNN put up the wrong picture for WH Principal Deputy Press Secretary @RajShah45 & now they refer to him on air as "Raj whatever his name is." #ThisIsCNN https://t.co/PnkYDqoCpP— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) January 15, 2018

The Washington Free Beacon reported that later in the broadcast, Cuomo still hadn't bothered to find out the last name.

"If the White House wanted to deny the language, they could have done it from jump," Cuomo said. "Raj put out a statement that—when asked, he didn't say it was the wrong language."

Raj Shah? Isn’t that something like “Lord King” in English.

Cuomo couldn’t even master the Indian surname “Shah”. What would the dumbass have done with some of the ones that run four or five syllables?
