CNN is in hot water after an interview with a Mexican drug cartel member took an unexpected turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interview, aired Saturday, featured CNN correspondent Isobel Yeung questioning a heavily disguised cartel member in an undisclosed hideout in Mexico, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump designated<\/a> the Mexico-based Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in a January 20 executive order, with the State Department writing<\/a> that the cartel is \u201cone of the largest producers and traffickers of fentanyl and other illicit drugs to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccording to the Trump administration, you are a terrorist. \u2026 What do you make of that?\u201d Yeung asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The masked gangster, wearing sunglasses and latex gloves to conceal his identity, initially responded<\/a>, \u201cWell, the situation is ugly, but we have to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked what he would say directly to Trump, the cartel member didn\u2019t take the bait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy respect. According to him, he\u2019s looking out for his people,\u201d the gangster stated, adding, \u201cBut the problem is the consumers are in the United States. If there weren\u2019t any consumers, we would stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
