00:00President Donald Trump is drawing criticism for sharing a cartoon photo of a Trump train
00:05running over a man meant to represent a CNN reporter.
00:10Early Tuesday morning, as seen in this screenshot shared by MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin, the
00:15president retweeted an image posted by a Trump supporter that shows a train bearing the Trump
00:20label barreling into an image of a CNN journalist.
00:24The president then quickly deleted the post.
00:27Post retweet comes just days after Saturday's deadly Charlottesville, Virginia clashes when
00:32a white nationalist rammed his car into a crowd of protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather
00:37Heyer.
00:38Trump came under fire for how he responded to the tragedy over the weekend.
00:42Initially, the president failed to denounce the groups by name, instead condemning the
00:46violence on many sides.
00:49On many sides.
00:50On many sides.
00:51Not until a televised follow-up statement Monday did he officially denounce the KKK, neo-Nazis,
00:56and white supremacist groups involved in the rally.
01:00Also on Tuesday, Trump mistakenly retweeted a message from one of his critics calling him
01:04a fascist.
01:05It appears Trump was intending to share a Fox News story, which you can see here above
01:09the fascist comment.
01:10The user shared the story to his Twitter, but the president must have missed that one
01:14little part.
01:15After five minutes, Trump removed the retweet.
