CNN blurs out migrant mugshots on White House lawn, but never did for US citizen suspects

CNN went out of its way to edit photos of illegal alien mugshots on White House lawn signs, blurring the faces and their alleged crimes.

The display was so offensive to leftists that MSNBC guest Maria Teresa Kumar said that the media should “blur” the faces out because those on the posters may not have had their due process yet. It didn’t take CNN long to fall in line and do just that, opting to alter Getty images of the lawn display to protect the identities of those featured.

Look:

CNN and Fake Tapper actually BLURRED OUT the mugshots of the criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, drug traffickers, and other scumbags displayed on the White House lawn. Sick! pic.twitter.com/m3W0cQtDCp

The official rapid response account of the Trump administration caught wind of the report and posted a clip on X, calling CNN’s decision “sick.”

“CNN and Fake Tapper actually BLURRED OUT the mugshots of the criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, drug traffickers, and other scumbags displayed on the White House lawn. Sick!” the account captioned the video.

X users were not pleased by the outlet’s idea of journalism:

When CNN blurs the faces of criminals but demands crystal-clear footage of January 6th grandmas, you realize it was never about justice. It was always about control.

Of course the MSM loves to protect criminals, their mugshots should be plastered all over the news but it won’t be.

They literally said this weekend that this kind of stuff is why their ratings and trust are in the toilet. They just can’t help themselves even though the know it’s putting them out of business.

They had no problem showing the Trump mugshot.

This makes zero sense. Mugshots are public anyway.
