CNN anchor Brianna Keilar criticized President Joe Biden after he delivered his desperate ‘Anti-MAGA’ speech with Marines positioned behind him Thursday evening. During his speech, the president issued a warning about Make America Great Again (MAGA) Republicans threatening the democracy of America.
“Whatever you think of this speech, the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it,” Keilar said in a tweet on Thursday evening.
Others called out Biden for using Marines during the primetime address causing the hashtag #PedoHitler to trend on Twitter Friday.
“You are clearly a shill for the RNC,” one person whose Twitter bio includes a #BidenHarris2020 hashtag tweeted Zeleny just for saying that using the Marine Band was “a break with White House traditions.”
“Your sheets are showing.”
One minute later, the network’s chief national correspondent was even more measured, desperately pointing out “there’s nothing unusual or wrong with a president delivering a political speech —it’s inherent in the job description.”
However, Zeleny claimed, “doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions.”
Both were soon flooded by people (or bots) saying they had unfollowed them as well as calls to cancel CNN over the simple logical statements.
“Brianna Keilar has sold her soul,” one person told their more than 90,000 followers, while others said the tweet proved she is now “straight up MAGA.”
“You know CNNs transformation into Baby Fox News is officially complete when Brianna Keilar goes MAGA,” one “vote blue” supporter said.
“Uncovering The Truth” podcaster Dash Dobrofsky who seems to not understand the definition of fascism also told his 109,000 followers that Keilar’s criticism proved that “CNN stands against Biden and supports Fascism.”
Rodney Grim told his 7,000 followers that “Brianna Keilar is quiet quitting” in anger that “CNN is turning into Fox News.”
Former MSNBC host Keith Olberman told his 1 million followers that CNN staff “are living in dread of being Steltered” — referring to the recent axing of host Brian Stelter — “by the new right-wing management.”
“Having said that,” he wrote, Keilar and Zeleny “should be fired tonight. Sorry.”
Keilar, obviously feeling the heat responded to the backlash, tweeting, “It’s possible to agree with everything Biden said and still disagree with using Marines as backdrops for a political speech.”
