Lucian B. Wintrich, White House reporter for the bizarre and often inaccurate Gateway Pundit blog, tweeted out a curious meme depicting President Donald Trump as one of the hijacked planes flying into the World Trade Center, shown with the CNN logo.

Wintrich, who gained prominence in right wing circles after organizing the “Twinks for Trump” art show — which featured Milo Yiannopoulos bathing in pig’s blood — reveled in Trump’s tweet of the CNN-bodyslam video — a nod to the meme-inclined circles of the pro-Trump internet that he inhabits.

But the young White House reporter apparently got a little carried away Wednesday, tweeting out a meme depicting Trump as one of the planes flying into the World Trade Center, a terror attack that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people. The tweet was swiftly deleted by Wintrich following a backlash — but not before it was screenshotted by a number of hawk-eyed Twitter users.

As Newsweek points out, Wintrich defended his posting of the tweet in response to criticism, apparently attempting to lay the blame for the meme on his “friend in the Marines”:

1. Not only are you a cheat, Mr. Wintrich; you're a gutless cheat

Gee Lucian, if a sight gag built on the corpses of the victims of 9/11 is so rib-ticklingly hilarious, why take it down? Who are the snowflakes who requested you take it down?
