CNN commentator and TV host Marc Lamont Hill put a message on Twitter and Instagram this morning saying “Happy Veterans Day.” The problem was his accompanying photo was a picture of Cuban soldiers. Hill said he realized he’d made a mistake and deleted the posts after plenty of criticism. But was it really just a mistake?

@20committee Proof he actually was serious about the post. Not a mistake. Wowzers pic.twitter.com/WcKm9bx5ih

Hill tweeted to The Blaze:

@theblaze I wanted to give love to freedom fighters around the globe, especially women. Plus the image was beautiful!
