CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended her interview with Trump’s spokeswoman on Monday.
During the interview, Trump’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, criticized CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper for their hostility towards Trump.
Trump haters Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are moderating this week’s presidential debate.
Naturally, the debate rules are designed to protect Joe Biden.
Microphones will be muted except during the candidate’s designated speaking time.
Campaign staff may not interact with the candidates during breaks, and no props are allowed.
The bar is set so low for Biden that simply showing up and not keeling over will earn him applause.
The debate moderators have a history of attacking Trump and comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
“First of all, it takes someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper and Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has consistently compared Trump to Adolf Hitler,” Karoline Leavitt said as Kasie Hunt interrupted her.
“Ma’am! We’re gonna stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues!” Kasie Hunt said before cutting the interview short.

Fox News reported:
A visibly miffed CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended her interview with a Trump campaign spokeswoman on Monday after she criticized her colleagues Dana Bash and Jake Tapper as being biased against her boss.
“That’s why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years. And their biased coverage of him,” campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, previewing the debate on Thursday between Trump and President Biden.
Bash and Tapper will co-moderate the highly anticipated debate, and Hunt wasn’t pleased to hear them get criticized.
“So I‘ll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, have acquitted themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle. I‘ll also say that if you talk to analysts of previous debates, that if you’re attacking the moderators, you’re usually losing,” Hunt responded.
After Hunt tried to steer the conversation back to the debate, Leavitt told Hunt that it would take just five minutes to research Tapper and his commentary on the former president.
“Ma’am, I’m going to stop this interview if you’re going to continue to attack my colleagues,” Hunt said.
After Leavitt argued she was stating facts about Bash and Tapper, Hunt cut the interview off, her voice rising as she went back to the panel.
“I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, whom you work for,” Hunt said. When Leavitt continued, Hunt signaled to cut her off.
Karoline Leavitt blasted Kasie Hunt after the interview, stating that Hunt had proven her point.
President Trump will not be treated fairly, just as Leavitt was not treated fairly as a guest on the network.
You cut off my microphone for bringing up the debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies.

This proved our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly on Thursday.
Yet he is still willing to go into this 3-1 fight to bring his winning message to the American… https://t.co/EIsiKzvxeq
