HLN is apologizing after it blurred out the shirt of a man the interviewed who was credited with being a good Samaritan after he used a sledgehammer to rescue a baby from a hot car.
The man interviewed was Steve Eckel, who used a sledgehammer to rescue a baby left in a hot car Monday.
The Wrap reported that the retired police officer was wearing a Trump 2016 shirt while being interviewed on HLN Wednesday for his good deed.

The first airing of the interview showed his "Trump for president 2016" shirt plainly.
An hour later, when the interview aired again, the shirt was blurred out.
Conservative-leaning bloggers and news outlets accused the network of censorship, saying the network is biased.
But the network said that is not the case. In a statement to The Hill, an HLN spokesperson said, "We blurred the logo and shouldn't have; it was done in error."
