The senior political correspondent and anchor for CNN in the Washington, D.C. Bureau, Brianna Keilar, got herself into a marsh of the dispute with Tucker Carlson as well as U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She titled the Fox News Channel anchor in a fact-checking segment regarding the critiques he made of the U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Likewise, Keilar tangled up with U.S. House Speaker Pelosi as she asked if she (Pelosi) trusted White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows when negotiating a coronavirus relief package.
Moreover, Keilar used harsh words with the communications director of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, Tim Murtaugh. Murtaugh kept on saying 'hold on a second' while she asked him about the administration's coronavirus policy. She mentioned:
"I can’t hold on a second when you’re not being honest."
Keilar's motive is clear to the executive producer of her program, Eric Hall. He stated that she would not move on until she gets the answer to her question. He said, 'It may take 15 minutes, but she does not move on. That's one of her greatest strengths.'
