Harvey victim Goes Off On CNN Reporter, For Taking Advantage of them

CNN Fail, CNN fake News, CNN interview, CNN interview Harvey victim

CNN wants to capitalized on the Houston hurricane coverage so they decided to set up shop in an evacuation center, interviewing those who have been picked up by rescuers from the rising waters. Unfortunately for them, a distraught Houston mother is not having it. She blast the reporter for putting a microphone in her face just moments after she arrived at a shelter with her two young children.

“Y’all trying to interview people during their worst times. Like, that’s not the smartest thing to do,” the shaken up parent, identified only as Danielle, told reporter Rosa Flores.

“People are really breaking down and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the f–k is wrong with us,” she seethed. “And you really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face! With me shivering cold, with my kids wet! And you’re still putting a microphone in my face!”

The interview happened a little before 1 p.m. central time at a shelter in Houston. Flores appeared to approach the woman at random just after she arrived there with her kids.

“We was waiting for the police for like 36 hours and they never came,” the mother said. “We did the white flags and everything — and nobody came.”

The woman went on to explain how she fled her home, walked to a nearby gas station, and remained there until someone picked her and her children up.

“We had been there for five days with no food, no lights,” she said. “We got through four feet of water to get them food on the first day…Yea, that’s a lot of s–t.”

During her outburst, Flores can be heard apologizing to the woman and her children.

“It sounds like you’ve got a very upset family there,” CNN anchor Jim Acosta tells Flores, before cutting away.
