Critics Go After CNN Host Over Her Criticism of Marines Positioned Behind Biden During His Speech

📺CNN host Brianna Keilar received criticism over her comments on the U.S. Marines positioned behind President Joe Biden during his speech.

During his primetime speech on Thursday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Marines could be seen standing behind Biden in the distance.

Responding to the image, Keilar tweeted, “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.”

She added, “It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it.”

Keilar’s comments sparked criticism from users on Twitter.

One user wrote, “When you’ve lost Brianna Keilar…”

Another wrote, “It wasn’t a political speech.. it was a speech given as part of the Oath POTUS took and the oath those Marines, just like your husband took, to defend the Constitution.. that’s not political, that’s the job.”
