The hysterical video has been seen over 1 million times after it was tweeted out by President Trump. It was produced by a Reddit user who is private:
Soon after the CNN statement, twitter was abuzz over the fact that CNN was extorting this private citizen:
DONALD TRUMP JR RETWEETED THE THREAT:
CONGRESSMAN SCOTT TAYLOR TWEETED OUT:
@CNN U basically coerce apology & threaten release of identity if something changes? Pretty sure a line is crossed here. #CNNBlackmail https://t.co/k4W9AepP6W
