CNN's Kasie Hunt Cuts Off Trump Spokeswoman Over Criticism of Jake Tapper

Jun 24, 2024, 02:55 PM

On Monday morning, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt after Leavitt criticized CNN debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Leavitt accused Tapper of repeatedly comparing former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, a claim that Hunt did not allow to continue on air. This incident comes just days before CNN is set to host the first Trump-Biden presidential debate, with Tapper as one of the moderators. The Trump campaign has expressed outrage over the incident, suggesting it indicates potential anti-Trump bias in the upcoming debate.
