CNN Host Gets Roasted for Her Explanation for Why She Cut Off a Trump Spox Mid-Interview

Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt was supposed to have an interview on CNN, but it was cut short because she told the truth about some of the network’s on-air talent. Host Kasie Hunt decided to pull the plug once Leavitt exposed the network’s overt anti-Trump bias. 

The segment focused on the upcoming debate between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump this Thursday and how Trump prepares for the showdown. Leavitt delivered some jabs at Biden, touted Trump’s preparedness, and lashed out at the debate moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, which did not sit well with Hunt. The Daily Caller's Nicole Silverio had the best way to describe it: Hunt "rage quit" the interview.

When Hunt pulled the plug, Leavitt was mid-way through her remarks about how Tapper compared Trump to Hitler. Leavitt's remarks were true—Tapper made that claim in December 2023. It was also outrageous. Yet, notice how the ‘Trump = Hitler’ narrative was quietly placed in a drawer by the liberal media once all the pro-Hamas clowns seized college campuses and administrative buildings while calling for the death of all Jews. They had to—this nation witnessed an entire spring of antisemitism not seen since the Nazis ruled Germany, though the vitriol was emanating from the mouths of liberals. It’s also even more ridiculous now since Code Pink's insane clown posse besieged Tapper’s house recently, accusing the host of being complicit in genocide over his reporting of the Gaza war.

Hunt defended her decision, saying if you disrespect her colleagues, she will cut off the microphone. Well, that’s not exactly how people saw it, especially since her Twitter banner is that of her with Joe Biden. I think we know why the interview was cut short. Also, Hunt is getting a righteous roasting in her tweet's comments.

Leavitt responded that this exchange proved that Trump won’t be treated fairly on Thursday.

UPDATE: CNN issued a statement.
