CNN "yearnalist" makes fun of polio survivor McConnell for needing Trump’s help to climb steps
CNN political journalist Daniella Diaz tweeted a video on Twitter Monday afternoon mocking President Trump helping Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) up the steps after concluding their joint Rose Garden news conference.
“That hand-lock between Trump and McConnell, though,” Diaz tweeted out alongside a short video clip of the two men.
If Daniella Diaz didn’t know before her tweet, she absolutely knows now, as many Twitter users were quick to point out to Diaz that the 75-year-old McConnell was a polio survivor who sometimes needed assistance. But more than 24 hours later, the tweet had not been retracted and Diaz had not acknowledged the blunder.
Even CNN colleagues called out Diaz, quoting her tweet and explaining the situation. At the time this article was published, Diaz had not deleted the tweet.
Daily Beast Senior Editor Andrew Kirell also asked what the fuck she was thinking in a since-deleted response.
“McConnell is a polio survivor, a reason why stairs can be tricky at times,” CNN’s Senior Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju wrote. “McConnell often goes up a step at a time, sometimes needs railing for assistance. This time, he used Trump for balance.”
Many Twitter users commented on Diaz’s tweet, saying it needs to be removed and criticizing the CNN "reporter" for the message. “You’re making fun of the President of the United States helping a polio survivor that stumbled,” one user responded.
