The New York Post Wants you to Know AMLO is El Chapo’s Son

On the heels of yet another international embarassment, Mexico made headlines (again) on Friday, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced the extradition of Ovidio Guzmán López, a son of former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, to the United States.

“This action is the most recent step in the Justice Department’s effort to attack every aspect of the cartel’s operations,” Garland said, according to the AP.

So far so good, but it looks like New York City tabloid The New York Post seems to have “otros datos” as they are reporting that El Chapo’s son is – in fact – Andrés Manuel López Obrador (!) Or at least one can deduct that from the above photo caption.

Huge if true, as the kids say…
