CNN’s Chris Cillizza deleted a tweet a few minutes ago that accidentally put “green crosshairs” over an image of President Donald Trump:
Um, why is there green crosshairs over trump? https://t.co/CSFsvfIkk0

According to Cillizza, the software program he used to make the GIF is to blame:
I’ve deleted a GIF about President Trump. We use @GifGrabber to make our GIFs and it defaults to the image below as a first frame. To clear up any unintended confusion, I’ve removed the tweet. pic.twitter.com/x6PCKoiW16
