<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> anchor Kasie Hunt shut down a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-fails-to-qualify-for-cnn-presidential-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debate preview</a> on Monday after Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt kept bringing up how the moderators had criticized her boss in the past.</p>
<p>CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who are moderating on Thursday, were mentioned after Hunt asked Leavitt what former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> would do differently at the debate this time after losing the 2020 election.</p>
<p>Leavitt started her response by asserting that Trump is &#8220;well-prepared&#8221; for the debate and quipping that he &#8220;doesn’t have to hide away and have his advisers tell him what to say&#8221; like President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Trump &#8220;knows what he wants to say&#8221; and will &#8220;relay his vision to the American people to make this country strong, safe, secure and wealthy again,&#8221; Leavitt added.</p>

<p>She soon took aim at CNN, saying Trump is &#8220;knowingly going into a hostile environment&#8221; and noting how the moderators have expressed their opinions of the former president and conducted &#8220;biased coverage&#8221; of him.</p>
<p>After Leavitt wrapped up her answer by discussing Trump bringing his message to voters, Hunt defended her colleagues.</p>
<p>&#8220;Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have acquitted themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Hunt continued, &#8220;I’ll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates, previous, that if you’re attacking the moderators, you’re usually losing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interview pressed on—though not for much longer—as Hunt asked Leavitt about setting expectations for Trump&#8217;s first debate against Biden of the 2024 election cycle.</p>
<p>Leavitt said, &#8220;Well, first of all, it takes about five minutes to Google &#8216;Jake Tapper, Donald Trump&#8217; to see that Jake Tapper has —&#8221; before Hunt interjected.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ma&#8217;am,&#8221; Hunt said with a wave of her hand, &#8220;we’re going to stop this interview if you’re going to keep attacking my colleagues.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interview quickly came to a halt as Hunt insisted she was willing to have the conversation if she was there to speak on Trump&#8217;s behalf, and Leavitt stressed that she was &#8220;stating facts&#8221; about the moderators.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now I’m sorry. We’re going to come back after the panel. Karoline, thanks very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point,&#8221; Hunt said as Leavitt&#8217;s video feed was cut off.</p>

<p>Hunt added, &#8220;She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump. And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us &#8230; later this week in Atlanta for this debate.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the conversation did not stop there.</p>
<p>&#8220;You come on my show, you respect my colleagues. Period. I don’t care what side of the aisle you stand on, as my track record clearly shows,&#8221; Hunt <a href="https://x.com/kasie/status/1805195530621882695" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X.</p>
