Any expectation that presumptive Republican nominee Donald J. Trump would get a fair shake from CNN at their debate this week has already flown out the window.
In a sneak preview of the type of treatment that the former president can expect when he faces off against Joe Biden and his tag team partners – Jake Tapper and Dana Bash – on Thursday in Atlanta, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly shut down an interview with Trump’s National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt when she pointed out the network’s blatant bias.

It was an “I told you so” moment for Trump’s supporters, many of whom were already wary about the event in which the rules have preemptively put him at an unfair disadvantage with the table severely tilted in the 81-year-old Democrat’s favor.
After blowing CNN’s cover as de facto state TV out of the water with her silencing of Trump’s spox, Hunt took to social media to engage in damage control but it was too little too late because only a fool would now believe that the former president is going to get a fair shake from the two moderators who hate him, and whatever dirty surprise that the Dems and their media partners have cooked up for the occasion.
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.

Hunt’s allowing the mask to slip days before the massively hyped event that could shatter viewership records put the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” into damage control mode.
“Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are well-respected veteran journalists who have covered politics for more than five decades combined,” the network said in a Monday statement. “They have extensive experience moderating major political debates, including CNN’s Republican Presidential Primary Debate this cycle. There are no two people better equipped to co-moderate a substantial and fact-based discussion and we look forward to the debate on June 27 in Atlanta.”
But it’s complete bullsh*t and they aren’t fooling anybody, at least no one with a lick of common sense.
Following Hunt’s shutdown of Leavitt, an abundance of clips of the two anti-Trump moderators have been dug up and put online as exhibits A-Z that Tapper and Biased aren’t the “respected veteran journalists” that CNN claims they are, but rather two Democrat activist propagandists who can’t hide from their past words.

Leavitt later responded to Hunt’s X post defending her censorship by stating, “This proved our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly on Thursday. Yet he is still willing to go into this 3-1 fight to bring his winning message to the American people, and he will win.”
Fighting words for sure but Trump is walking directly into a well-planned trap, and sometimes the best way to win is to refuse to participate in a rigged game.
Trump should never have allowed himself to be goaded into the debate on CNN with Biden’s terms and it’s not too late to tell them where to stuff their ambush.
