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.

Nothing screams unity like a backdrop of blood red lighting and Marines positioned behind Biden as he shouts with raised clenched fists from the podium. pic.twitter.com/ZkjUPGF0WN

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.”

The new CNN is trying super hard to be “fair and balanced” and Brianna doesn’t want the axe ? https://t.co/wE5VJPGpNU

I mean, yannow, just two Marines standing sentry at their assigned post per protocol… but go off. https://t.co/aoUzLRCHVL

half the stuff in this lady’s bio is about being married to an Army guy. I feel like we could’ve offered more resistance to people making that a whole identity with a name. I wouldn’t guess you’re that if you didn’t tell me. can’t be that unique https://t.co/HZyC4uWVMS

Brianna Keilar’s role at CNN will also be interesting to watch https://t.co/6A9bfqYRhq

The president received significant mockery and criticism for the background of his speech, as IJR reported.

Founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy tweeted, “Everytime I think Biden and crew can’t be dumber they outdo themselves. Seriously who gives a speech warning people about how dangerous Republicans are to Democracy while having a background that looks like the Soviet Union and Hitler had a baby?”

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted, “Standing in front of a hellish red background Biden called half the country, the MAGA Republicans ‘threats’ [and] ‘clear and present dangers.'”

She continued, “Then he says, ’empathy is the fuel of democracy-the willingness to see each other not as enemies but as fellow Americans…’!!!”

In his speech, Biden repeatedly went after “MAGA Republicans.”

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said.
