CNN just had a Biden-level gaffe when they mixed up a former United States president and a terror leader.
If you smashed together the names of former President Barack Obama and deceased terrorist Osama bin Laden, what would you get? Well, ask no more, as CNN has provided us with the answer!
Watch:
CNN is out with reporting on Obama-bin-laden

If you guessed “Obama bin Laden” you would be correct!
The stunning error came as the network attempted to fearmonger over President Donald Trump’s plan to send some illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay. While anchor Boris Sanchez never actually uttered the words “Obama bin Laden” they did appear on the graphic he used to illustrate how horrible the conditions are at the detention center.
X users had a lot to say about the slip:
They shared an incredible hatred for our country; I can see how CNN got the two mixed up.

Looks like a nice freudian slip
Maybe they are connected?

CNN can’t help but fail.

It was probably written by some millennial who never heard of either one of them and has no idea how accurate their mistake was!

Holy shit. How does something like this happen

I’m old enough to remember when anyone who made this slip up was labeled a racist and had their lives destroyed.
