As Twitchy readers know, CNN's Kasie Hunt acted like an unhinged harpy this morning during an interview with Trump spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, ultimately shutting off her mic and then going on Twitter/X to act all big and tough about 'her show.'
None of this went well for Hunt or CNN.
Kasie Hunt (@kasie) ~ 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.

Oh poor lil' baby Kasie can't have anyone coming on her show and telling the undeniable truth about CNN. NO! Kasie has to control what everyone is able to say and what everyone is allowed to hear. What a quivering, intellectually dishonest coward you are, Kasie.
Leavitt came out swinging:
Karoline Leavitt (@kleavittnh) ~ You cut off my microphone for bringing up the debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies.
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.

Oooh, Kasie ... you got yourself bitch-slapped ...
... and deservedly so.
Knowing how the odds are stacked against him, the moment he shows up is a win.
Jeff Clark (@JeffClarkUS) ~ In CNN’s mind, criticizing CNN anchors is disrespect. This is fundamentally anti-American. We live in a country where launching criticism and weathering criticism is like breathing. But not to CNN. And yet it is CNN who rejects its moniker as “fake news.” If it’s not fake news, it’s at least “frail and fainting news.”
Right? It was so mean for Leavitt to call out the gross bias of the upcoming debate moderators. How dare she?!
It's all Kasie could think to do because she knew that Karoline Leavitt had her and CNN dead to rights.
Ashley Muñoz (@RedLady2024) ~ I’m sure @CNN has already given the Biden campaign the debate questions.
Oh absolutely.
Skeptical Stoic (@StoicSkeptical) ~ I’ll never forget this gem of partisan hackery.
Honestly, Hunt couldn't have done more to prove Leavitt's point if she tried.
