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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
