In a recent turn of events, a CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Karoline Leavitt, a top spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, after Leavitt repeatedly attacked two CNN anchors who are set to host the upcoming presidential debate.

What Happened: Hunt, during the interview on Monday, asked Leavitt about Trump’s plans for the upcoming debate with President Joe Biden. Leavitt, in response, criticized CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who will be hosting the debate, reported The Hill.

After Leavitt continued to attack the moderators, Hunt decided to end the interview and cut the video feed of Leavitt, returning to a panel discussion on the upcoming debate.

Leavitt later appeared on “War Room,” a podcast and live stream show hosted by Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, where she continued to criticize Tapper. Bannon also claimed that the Thursday debate would be “totally 100 percent rigged.”

CNN issued a statement defending Bash and Tapper, describing them as “well respected veteran journalists who have covered politics for more than five decades combined.”
