MUST WATCH: CNN Host Shuts Down Interview With Trump Spokeswoman

CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended her interview with Trump’s spokeswoman on Monday.

In the interview, Trump’s campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt, called out CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper for being hostile towards Trump.

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper will moderate Trump’s debate versus Biden on June 27th.

Leavitt told Hunt, “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.”

Hunt responded to Leavitt, “So I‘ll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, have acquitted themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns.”

Hunt later ended the interview by saying “Ma’am, I’m going to stop this interview if you’re going to continue to attack my colleagues.”

Here’s what 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.

Per The New York Post:

CNN abruptly cut Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt from the air Monday morning — just days before the network is set to host the first presidential debate between her boss and President Joe Biden.

Anchor Kasie Hunt pulled the plug just minutes after the interview got underway after asking Leavitt what former President Donald Trump’s strategy was for when he takes to the stage in Atlanta, Ga. on Thursday.

“President Trump is well prepared ahead of Thursday’s debates. Unlike Joe Biden, he doesn’t have to hide away and have his advisors tell him what to say. President Trump knows what he wants to say,” Leavitt started.

The spokeswoman then noted the debate stage would likely be a “hostile environment” for her boss – and accused CNN’s debate moderators, co-hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, of biased coverage of him in the past
