So I guess there were a few marines in dress uniform way in the background during Biden's speech or something. I dunno, didn't watch. But a few CNN hosts/editors are calling out the "political use" of those two marines given the topic of the speech.
Predictably, right ring media are loving this and absolutely running wild with "CNN CRITICIZES BIDENS POLITICAL USE OF THE MARINES!"
This has resulted in many great hot takes like this from Tom Nichols of The Atlantic, who thinks that no president has ever given a speech while members of the US military were around them -

Needless to say, it's kinda hilarious.
Now they'd have a point of Biden did this with lines of uniformed soldiers behind him intentionally placed there. But these were two ceremonial guards that would have been present regardless of the content of Biden's speech.
Once again, in the absense of a POTUS that's a nonstop controversy/scandal machine, many political writers/hosts are having to dig pretty deep to get their fix. It's just not the same when it's a FPOTUS that's getting his house raided by the FBI.
