CNN’s Brianna Keilar criticized former President Donald Trump’s interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, referring to it as a “mean girls group chat.”
Keilar argued that the interview had not produced anything “newsworthy” beyond the moment when the former president took a moment to encourage more Republicans to get one of the available coronavirus vaccines.

“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.”
Throughout the rest of the interview, Keilar noted that instead of asking Trump about the “multiple investigations that he is facing post-presidency,” Hannity asked questions aimed at criticizing President Joe Biden.
Keilar played a clip of Hannity asking about Biden’s slip on the stairs of Air Force One and arguing that the president’s decline was visible.
“To me he looks extraordinarily weak, frail. I think it’s very transparent he’s struggling cognitively,” Hannity asked. “In fairness his aides said the wind — it was very windy. Did the wind ever blow you over?”
Trump appeared unwilling to be quite as critical, replying, “Well, Air Force One is a very big plane. Usually what they try and do is shield the wind.”
