CNN Anchor Slams Trump's 'Mean Girl Group Chat' With Hannity—but Notes One Important Silver Lining

CNN Anchor Slams Trump's 'Mean Girl Group Chat' With Hannity—but Notes One Important Silver Lining
CNN // Fox News

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar has earned widespread notoriety for her meticulous critiques of right-wing disinformation, usually broadcast from the conservative Fox News networks to millions of viewers.

Keilar recently targeted far-right Fox host Sean Hannity and his recent interview with former President Donald Trump.


Throughout the interview, Trump recycled his all too familiar talking points, such as decrying both of his impeachments—each of which had more bipartisan support than any Presidential impeachment in history—and teasing a potential 2024 presidential run.

Keilar slammed the "propaganda hour" as a "mean girl group chat" between Trump and Hannity, but noted one silver lining.

Watch below.

Keilar said:

"If there is anything newsworthy from this mean girl group chat, it is Donald Trump telling his skeptical supporters, whose vaccine hesitancy may prevent the U.S. from reaching herd immunity in the non-mass casualty way, to get vaccinated."

Forty-one percent of Republicans say they have no intention of taking the vaccine for the viral pathogen that's killed nearly 600 thousand Americans. Far-right media personalities like Fox host Tucker Carlson have embraced conspiracy theories regarding the vaccine's efficacy.

Trump privately took the vaccine back in January, and it wasn't public knowledge until March. During the Hannity interview, Trump said he'd been asked to do a commercial endorsing the vaccine beyond encouraging his supporters to take it in interviews, but expressed reluctance to do so.

Without at least 70 percent of Americans fully vaccinated, the virus has the momentum to keep spreading, mutating along the way into more abrasive variants. If this is allowed to continue, the vaccine will inevitably evolve into a strain that renders the previously delivered vaccines ineffective.

Like Keilar, people hoped Trump's followers would listen to his words.






Vaccine conspiracy theorists still weren't convinced—and some even bizarrely believed Trump was secretly denouncing the vaccine.





Trump had the opportunity as President to publicly take the vaccine, but decided to do it quietly instead. Now, his vaccine-hesitant followers may be too far gone.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
