The Reddit user who apparently created the anti-CNN wrestling meme retweeted by President Donald Trump this morning has a tawdry, racist social media history, including joking about putting a cat in a blender and carrying “punch blades” on trips to Paris to protect himself from Muslim men.
The Washington Post is reporting that a Reddit user whose screen name is HanAssholeSolo apparently is responsible for superimposing the CNN logo over the face of WWE exec Vince McMahon as Donald Trump fake-pummels him at a 2007 pro-wrestling event.
“The Washington Post couldn’t find any version of the CNN-pummeling clip before Han——-Solo’s post last week,” writes the Post‘s Avi Selk. “And the user took credit for it, while noting that someone added sound and made other alterations to the version Trump tweeted.”
The Reddit user earlier today wrote, “Wow! I never expected my meme to be retweeted by the God Emporer (sic) Himself!!!”
A search of HanAssholeSolo’s comment history is a disturbing read. “That cat would be in a blender if it did that to me,” he writes on one thread, and in another boasts about visiting Paris armed with a “punch blade” in case “Islamic f*cks” attacked him. Other threads include racist and homophobic discussions.
In retweeting, Trump did not indicate how he or his staff discovered the meme, who found it or where it was found.
Ah, welcome to Trump’s America….if Washington, Jefferson etc could see this is what America would become I think they would have just let the British stay. Maybe they should have.
“And the user took credit for it, while noting that someone added sound and made other alterations to the version Trump tweeted.”
If Trump had a government employee alter the original posting that is even more pathetic – and definitely not how I want my tax dollars spent.
Yes..but your adultering President is ok?? what a putz you are
Who would that be, JFK?
How many wives has Trump had? How many women has he sexually harassed? How anyone can counter any criticisms of Trump is mind-blowing and quite frankly, weak and embarrassing at this point. There is no excuse for any of his behavior. He has taken every other President’s mistakes and transgressions and exceeded them. There’s nothing great about that.
I know you are but what am I?!?
Nailed it. Their mouth was open.
Lol.
Let’s stop thinking hat there’s more to Trump than what we see; he’s a sad, old, scared, D List celebrity. It’s time to 2545.
“and in another boasts about visiting Paris armed with a “punch blade” in case “Islamic f*cks” attacked him.”
nothing wrong with this. fake headline by DEADline.
and what racist and homophobic discussions? can you quote them pls?
Do the work yourself lazy.
Not a fan of trump, the meme, Han***Solo or John, but is a reader lazy if he asks that a story be expanded?
Nell, that response you’re commenting on was sent by a trump troll who never leaves his name. He comments all over this site. He’s as ignorant as trump himself. Don’t waste your time.
Someone not leaving there “name” is no different than posting as “trumps minion”
Sexist to assume it’s a man and not a woman.
Gee, an American who complain about the peaceful Muslims….off with his head
Meanwhile in China and Russia, they are laughing.
Love it. Best punch from left is a smattering of toothless russia bot remarks and 3rd party meme maker hate
Typical Trumpie.
Trump and his idiot son have been caught on multiple occasions retweeting material from racist accounts. Clearly they both follow a lot of them.
The people who voted for Trump are either incredibly stupid,or more likely, racist and sexist themselves. Knowing that, why be surprised they still defend him?
So true. Hows the antifa staff meeting at Berkeley going?
U stay classy, san diego
You really don’t know much about the geography of California.
Otherwise you would have known that San Diego is close to the Mexican Border and Berkeley is a stone’s throw from San Francisco.

Your implication and accusation without evidence is libelous. Good luck with that.
Trump would have to sue millions of people for libel then. Good luck with that.
“Johnny did it so I’m going to do it.”
So obvious when the little children are commenting.
Or..maybe its a racist russian? Hmmmmmmmm
On the next ep of maddow, we will investigate the racist russian investigation er i meant to say MATTER
Darn me. I fell for the clickbait
