White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders blasted CNN on Twitter for host Chris Cuomo disrespecting Principal Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah as “Raj Whatever his name is” Monday morning, and brought up CNN mistakenly using a photo of a different Raj Shah in a previous insulting episode.

Sanders was backing up Shah who tweeted out a Daily Caller article about the ‘Raj Whatever his name is’ incident which took place in the context of CNN still going on about the alleged ‘s***hole countries’ comment by President Trump.
Shah dryly chided Cuomo, “[email protected] and CNN viewers, it’s Raj Shah http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/15/chris-cuomo-calls-indian-american-trump-aide-raj-whatever-his-name-is-video/?utm_source=site-share … via @dailycaller”

Sanders followed with, “Last month @CNN put up the wrong picture for WH Principal Deputy Press Secretary @RajShah45 & now they refer to him on air as “Raj whatever his name is.” #ThisIsCNN”

The Daily Caller posted video of the insult by Cuomo.
Last month, as TGP reported, Sanders torched CNN for using the wrong photo for Shah when CNN used a photo of an Obama administration official also named Raj Shah.
