An official from President Trump's campaign was called out live on the air by one CNN anchor for "doing a real disservice" to Americans.

CNN's Brianna Keilar spoke to Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh on Tuesday afternoon in what turned out to be quite a heated conversation. Early on she blasted him for "lying" about the national stockpile and went on to describe the administration's "failure" on COVID-19 testing.

Keilar continued to fact-check Murtaugh throughout the conversation, which went even more off the rails after the topic turned to hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug Trump has pushed as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

"It kills people, Tim," Keilar told Murtaugh.

I am so fucking angry

[redstateblues]

3. Another reason why CNN is kicking MSNBC's tail

She wasn’t afraid to use the word “liar”

[jrthin]

11. Other than Nicole Wallace, MSNBC is useless during the day.

[ReformedGOPer]

26. It gets worse everyday. And I know I'll be crucified

for this, but I am sick of Andrea Mitchell and Eugene Robinson. They both stutter and I find them so desperate to get a coherent sentence out I've taken to turning off the volume whenever they appear.

[jrthin]

29. I agree w/you.

[intheflow]

30. I'm sorry, but are you disability-shaming?

Not cool. At all.

[OhNo-Really]

19. I agree 100%. I left Chuck Todd's botherism, Trump-centric infortainment

[Awsi Dooger]

22. CNN vs MSNBC is basically a walkover these days

A few exceptions

[a kennedy]

4. I love her.......

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. She had me at "all of them" when interviewing Trump's...

... lawyer a few years ago.

[Poiuyt]

21. That was Michael Cohen

He kept saying, “Sez who?” She didn’t lose her cool like I would have.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

23. I know it was Cohen.

Her expression was beautiful, conveying "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

[TreasonousBastard]

5. WOW! You can tell she is pissed at this asshole gishgalloping. We need more of that.

[brewens]

7. If Trump can send his secret pig force to kidnap protestors, he could order hydroxychloroquine to

be delivered to every major hospital. He could sign an executive order giving physicians permission to prescribe it. If it was anywhere close to what they claim, he would have doctors and nurses praising him in a few days. All kinds of success stories. He might finally be right about something. That not happening tells you he knows it doesn't work.

[spanone]

10. She takes no shit from them

[Nictuku]

12. K&R We need more News Anchors like Brianna Keilar!!

[mcar]

13. She is so good

[smirkymonkey]

16. She is bad ass!

I love her! Thank you, Brianna! You are showing everyone what a real journalist should look like! Keep it up! You are doing a brilliant job!

[rownesheck]

17. Only a dumbass would think that moron Tim

made any sense. "Hydroxychloroquine is not dangerous. It's been used for 65 years." Yes, dipshit. FOR FUCKING MALARIA!!! You don't take heart medication for pneumonia either, especially if multiple studies have been stopped due to it being ineffective and dangerous.

I fucking hate trumpers!

[c-rational]

18. I saw the interview live and she was wonderful. Yes we need more like her. CNN is much better

than MSNBC during the daytime, Although Nicole Wallace has been good of late.
