Sarah Sanders Calls Out CNN for Using the Wrong Picture for WH Staffer Raj Shah

Sarah Huckabee Sanders called out CNN tonight after the network used the wrong photo while sharing a comment from Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah:

.@CNN this is definitely not @RajShah45 but it is #FakeNews pic.twitter.com/tS9QBndBw0

— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 9, 2017

Here is what presumably happened. There is, in fact, another individual by the name of Raj Shah who does look like that. This Raj Shah, however, is the President of the Rockefeller Foundation and not currently serving in the White House.

Per Google Images, this is not the first time this Raj Shah has been confused for the other Raj Shah.

Anderson Cooper briefly addressed the slip-up and said “we regret the error” after Huckabee Sanders mentioned it on Twitter.

Huckabee Sanders called out CNN for this hours after the network corrected a botched report on WikiLeaks emails.

You can watch the initial segment and Cooper’s follow-up above, via CNN.
