CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt after Leavitt repeatedly attacked the debate moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, accusing them of anti-Trump bias. Hunt insisted that Leavitt should respect her colleagues and focus on the debate topics rather than criticizing the moderators. Leavitt's comments included accusations that Tapper and Bash have a long history of unfair coverage against Trump, which CNN refuted by defending their moderators as experienced journalists. Following the interview, Leavitt continued her criticism on other platforms, claiming CNN censored her for stating facts. This incident underscores the tension leading up to the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden, moderated by Tapper and Bash.
