Social media erupted Saturday over a CNN anchor’s bizarre description of a man who attacked the Dallas police headquarters early Saturday, using automatic weapons and pipe bombs in an all-out effort to kill as many police officers as he could.
The man was reportedly angry over a custody matter he blamed on Dallas police officers.
During an interview with CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway, network anchor Fredricka Whitfield described the lone gunman’s actions in words normally reserved for recipients of the Medal of Honor: “very courageous and brave,” though she also called the attacker “crazy.”
Holloway didn’t react to Whitfield’s description, but Twitter users did — with disgust and disbelief.
Conservative author and columnist Michelle Malkin tweeted:

And she had plenty of company, including these folks:
@michellemalkin @toddstarnes Yeah Michelle, what the hell?!? Courageous and brave?!?

@PruPaine @michellemalkin Shes encouraging and glorifying terrorist attacks on police. There is no context where that is permissible.

@michellemalkin Since when did being a domestic terrorist become courageous and brave? Have they lost what little minds they had???

@michellemalkin I’d act shocked, but this is the same network which kept Piers Morgan around as their firearms expert. @johncardillo

@michellemalkin This fundamental transformation is coming along nicely.

@michellemalkin @johncardillo @TwitchyTeam @CNN @FWhitfield , The Onion is more credible at this point.

The police even weighed in:
@CNN & @FWhitfield should apologize immediately for this outlandish commentary in the #DallasPDShooting https://t.co/Z3a68Kk2va

And finally:
@michellemalkin @johncardillo @TwitchyTeam @CNN @FWhitfield This…is CNN.
