Left-wing CNN anchor: Fox News hosts decry 'sacrilege' of their burned Christmas tree — but believe Capitol riots 'not such a big deal'

CNN's left-wing anchor Brianna Keilar ripped Fox News hosts Thursday morning in a decidedly smug commentary, saying that they've been overzealous covering the "sacrilege" of Christmas tree set on fire outside their Manhattan offices this week — while also viewing the Jan. 6 Capitol riots as "not such a big deal."

What are the details?

Keilar began her segment noting that the Fox News' Christmas tree "went up in flames" in "an act of arson at a time where crime in America is escalating."

She then insisted that CNN "covered this story as a crime" and added that Fox News also did so — "extensively." In fact, Keilar said, Fox News made their burned tree “the centerpiece of their news day."

After a montage of Fox News hosts commenting on the crime, the camera turned back to Keilar: “Now, no one was injured in this incident. But they could have been. This is a serious incident. Obviously it's incredibly scary to feel that your workplace is under attack, unless ..."

Video of the Capitol riots briefly ran, and then the camera turned back to Keilar, who continued her sentence: "...your workplace is the Capitol. Then, according to many, many Fox hosts, it’s not such a big deal.”

Then more video ran showing Fox New hosts seeming to downplay the Capitol riots, after which Keilar went in the for kill.

“At Fox, when the target is a Christmas tree at their workplace, it is a sacrilege,” she began. “But when the target is the seat of American democracy, it’s not."

Keilar added: "The whole of Congress, as they certify a presidential election that was fair and secure; when the perpetrators are [then-President Donald] Trump supporters in the thousands, four of whom died that day; when the victims are police officers, 140 of whom were injured, and when five police officers have died in the wake of the attack, including four by suicide; when Fox's own colleagues had to take cover inside the Capitol complex on January 6, Fox downplays the attack. And in many cases, flat-out doesn't cover it; ignores that it ever happened."

Oh, but she wasn't done.

"Just imagine if Fox hosts could muster for an armed attack on the Capitol the same outrage that they did for their Christmas tree," Keilar concluded. "Perhaps some of the almost half of Republicans who think January 6 was a legitimate protest might actually see it for what it really was.”
