CNN Interview
Karoline and CNN anchor Kasie Hunt exchanged words live on air during a CNN interview. Kasie asked Karoline, “Can you tell us what Donald Trump is going to do differently on the debate stage this time?”
She answered Kasie’s question saying Trump is well prepared for the debate, unlike President Biden. She then added;
“And that’s why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years and their biased coverage of him. So President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country to voters to ensure that he wins this election in November. He looks forward to doing that. And I know the American public looks forward to hearing from him.”
Kasie cut her short and defended her colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash who were referred to by Karoline without mentioning them.
She said, “So I’ll just say, my colleagues, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash, have acquitted themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle, If you’re attacking the moderators, you’re usually losing
Karoline added; “Well, first of all, it would take someone five minutes to Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump’ to see Jake Tapper has consistently …”
At this point, Kasie asked her to stop attacking her colleagues or she would end the interview. They talked over each other before Kasie abruptly ended the interview.
