Widow shames Donald Trump Jr. over picture

The wife of CNN crew member Douglas Thomas has slammed the the US president's son for using an old image of her deceased husband to push right-wing propaganda.

The 10-year-old picture, taken when Hurricane Ike hit Texas in 2008, was posted by Trump Jr. in an attempt to discredit the news network.

Presenter Anderson Cooper can be seen standing in deep flood water several feet in front crew member Thomas, who is in much shallower water.

Trump Jr. accused the network of "lying" about the severity of Hurricane Florence to make his father "look bad".

Thomas's wife said that using this image was "disrespectful", explaining that her husband, who worked for CNN for 26 years, had passed away last year.
