CNN Didn't Call Boulder Shooter ‘Factually Arab, But Morally White’

An Instagram post from March 25, 2021 shows a screenshot from an interview between CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin and correspondent Lucy Kafanov about the Boulder, Colorado shooting. The photo shows a chyron that reads “shooter was factually Arab, but morally white.”

A similar photo was seen circulating on Facebook, but instead of “Arab” the chyron said “Arabic."

Users shared the photo and reacted by calling the caption racist and anti-white.
