CNN's Kasie Hunt Boots Trump Spokeswoman for Criticizing Debate Moderators

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt ended an interview with Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt after she repeatedly attacked CNN colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The incident occurred during a segment on debate preparation for the upcoming presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Leavitt accused Tapper and Bash of biased coverage against Trump and claimed the former president was entering a hostile environment at CNN. Hunt warned Leavitt to focus on the debate and not on personal attacks against her colleagues.

Despite Hunt's warnings, Leavitt continued to criticize Tapper, prompting Hunt to terminate the interview. Following the incident, Hunt took to social media to explain her decision, emphasizing her respect for her colleagues and stating that Leavitt was welcome to return to discuss the debate itself. This episode marks another instance of the Trump campaign's contentious relationship with media debate moderators.
