CNN anchors were stunned when they received the abrupt news that the White House press briefing was canceled hours after Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, was found guilty of three felony charges.
On Tuesday, as a segment with the networks senior White House correspondent was winding down, host Boris Sanchez said, “We’ll let you get to that press briefing that was obviously delayed by the president’s remarks…”
“Uh… it actually just got canceled,” he continued.
Host Brianna Keilar chimed in, “Yeah, we just learned that. Briefing canceled… after the president’s son was convicted.”
“Whoops,” Sanchez said.
