CNN apologized on air for using photos of Trump and conservative activist and personality Laura Loomer that had been “digitally changed.”
In an X post, Loomer shared a new video of CNN clarifying their mistake after hosts like Cooper used a “digitally changed” picture of Trump and Laura Loomer this weekend.
“On Friday night and Saturday, CNN showed a picture of Trump and Loomer from social media for a short time,” the CNN host said. “Upon review, it was found that a third party had digitally changed this picture, so it should not have been there. Sorry about the mistake.”
In a different post, Loomer said Cooper was wrong for “sending a female coworker” to say sorry for slandering her and Trump.

“I will sue you, just like I’m going to sue @billmaher,” Loomer wrote in her post. “If you do not do a written apology on X for showing fake pictures of me and Donald Trump in a push to spread a sick, sexist, and malicious attack against me. What kind of fool are you to use fake pictures to trash me and Trump and then not say sorry? If you don’t reverse what you said in writing and on radio, you will be sued.”
