CNN anchor Brianna Keilar sharply challenged Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) during a tense interview as he echoed President Donald Trump’s framing of U.S. military actions near Venezuela. As Keilar pressed Davidson on whether the administration’s actions amounted to a blockade or risked unauthorized escalation, she repeatedly confronted him with Trump’s own language, forcing the congressman to draw fine distinctions between rhetoric and reality. The exchange highlighted growing unease over the president’s public threats, Congress’ war powers, and whether the administration is seeking legal workarounds to expand military action without explicit congressional approval.
