The interview occurred shortly\u2063 before CNN was to host a 2024 presidential debate. During the interview, Hunt asked Leavitt\u2064 about \u200dTrump&#8217;s preparation \u2064for the upcoming debate. Leavitt \u2064asserted that Trump was well-prepared and intended to share his vision\u2064 for a second term,\u2062 despite anticipating biased treatment\u200b from the debate moderators, whom\u200b she accused \u200cof having previously demonstrated bias against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt&#8217;s critique of the moderators, Jake Tapper and \u2063Dana Bash, led to \u2063a heated exchange when Hunt defended them as professionals and suggested that attacking moderators might indicate a candidate is losing. The \u200dsituation escalated when Hunt talked over Leavitt after being asked about President Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-top-5-senate-races-to-watch-on-election-night\/\" title=\"The Top 5 Senate Races to Watch on Election Night\">expected debate performance<\/a>, warning Leavitt against attacking her \u200ccolleagues. Hunt eventually ended the\u200b interview abruptly but mentioned that Leavitt would be welcome back in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, \u2062Hunt expressed her expectations for respect \u2063towards her colleagues \u2063on Twitter, emphasizing professionalism regardless of political affiliation. Leavitt responded by claiming that her microphone being cut off was evidence of the unfair treatment Trump was likely to face in his debate appearance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>An interview between former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cnn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CNN<\/a>\u2019s Kasie Hunt got heated on Monday, just days before the network will host the first 2024 presidential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt appeared on <em>CNN This Morning<\/em>, and Hunt asked her what Trump was doing to prepare for the debate. Leavitt contended Trump was \u201cwell prepared\u201d for this debate and that the former president will do as he has done at recent rallies and lay out his vision for a second presidential term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s 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 in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/medias-softball-coverage-of-biden-turns-absolutely-surreal\/\" title=\"Media\u2019s Softball Coverage Of Biden Turns Absolutely Surreal\">biased coverage<\/a> of him,\u201d Leavitt said. \u201cSo, President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country, to voters, to ensure that he wins this election in November. He looks forward to doing that, and I know the American public look forward to hearing from him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunt argued her fellow CNN anchors and the debate\u2019s moderators, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3053195\/tapper-bash-hosts-cnn-trump-biden-presidential-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jake Tapper and Dana Bash<\/a>, are \u201cprofessionals\u201d and contended that a candidate attacking the moderators is losing his election.<\/p>\n<p>About a minute later in the interview, Hunt asked Leavitt what she expects from President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> in the debate, with Leavitt referencing Tapper\u2019s previous aggressions toward Trump. This prompted Hunt to talk over Leavitt and warn she would end the interview if she kept \u201cattacking my colleagues.\u201d Hunt then abruptly ended the interview, claiming that Leavitt would be welcome back on the network in the future.<\/p>\n<p>However, she followed up her on-air statement on X without specifically naming Leavitt, writing, \u201cYou come on my show, you respect my colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care what side of the aisle you stand on, as my track record clearly shows,\u201d Hunt\u2019s post read.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You come on my show, you respect my colleagues.
