CNN viewers are criticizing the network for a ‘crazy’ interview with a member of the Sinaloa Cartel.

The left-leaning news network interviewed an anonymous member of the cartel about President Donald Trump, leaving viewers outraged.

CNN’s international correspondent Isobel Yeung traveled to Sinaloa, Mexico, to sit down with the masked cartel member and interview him about the drug trafficking organization.

In a video clip of what one social media user called a “disgusting effort to generate sympathy” for the cartel, Yeung is seen meeting up with a man who is allegedly a part of helping the cartel produce fentanyl. 

When the interviewer asked whether the area was safe or dangerous, the man replied, “all areas are dangerous.”

“According to the Trump administration, you are a terrorist,” Yeung tells the interviewee.

“The cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. What do you make of that?”

The man, dressed entirely in black, wearing a ski mask, sunglasses, and a hat, called the situation “ugly.”

“The situation is ugly, but we have to eat,” he said.

Then the gangster surprisingly said he has “respect” for the president. 

“My respect. According to him, he’s looking out for his people,” the cartel member replied.

“But the problem is that the consumers are in the United States. If there weren’t any consumers, we would stop.”

Social media users were quick to call out the outlet for the question. 

“The focus here for me is what he said,” one user wrote on X.

“He gave Trump more respect than democrats and the media.”

Another user told the network to “sell crazy somewhere else.”

“Does CNN believe that Sinaloa is being mistreated by the American president,” the user asked.

“Are they trying to make them sympathetic figures who are just misunderstood?

“Sell crazy somewhere else CNN. We’ve got more than enough crazy here already.”

IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

The interview comes as Trump continues to ramp up his efforts to deport illegal immigrants and crack down on drug trafficking in the country.

Trump recently announced that any illegal immigrant who voluntarily identifies themself will be given $1,000 and a free flight back to their home country.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the self-deportation option is a “dignified way to leave the U.S. and will allow illegal aliens to avoid being encountered by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” 

“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.

The agency estimates that the self-deportation stipend will cut deportation costs by 70%.
