During the 1:00 PM ET hour on CNN Thursday, host Brianna Keilar went on a rant against the Trump administration: "This is a nation in crisis. We are watching leaders who are in denial and it's killing Americans." She called President Trump "deliberately negligent" and claimed that he "knowingly puts Americans at risk by holding indoor rallies and events and by cutting funding for Coronavirus testing." According to Keilar, Trump "doesn't even acknowledge the collective loss of the nation. Instead, he turns the pandemic into a racist punchline for his rally-goers to cheer." Keilar also whined that "the President is focused more on sending troops to protect statues of dead confederate generals than on protecting American lives." Keilar agreed with former National Security Advisor John Bolton that "the President looks at everything through the prism of his re-election." She proceeded to bring in John Avlon, who contrasted Trump with "every President since Washington" who has "tried to marshal the forces of the office to unite the nation, focus on what unites us, not what divides us."
