There is one irrefutable truth about Thursday night’s first presidential debate: Donald Trump will not only be debating Joe Biden, but he will also be debating CNN’s moderators.
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have a long and ugly history of attacking President Trump on-air in some of the vilest ways. They have gone so far as to compare the former president to Hitler.
“The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive and well on a national political stage – this time – of course in the United States,” Tapper said. “This time by Republican front-runner Donald Trump.”
By the way, neither Tapper nor Bush have yet to retract or apologize for the lies they spewed about the fake Russian collusion story.
Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt brought up that issue during a Monday morning interview on CNN with host Kasie Hunt. But just as Leavitt started dropping truth bombs, Hunt exploded in rage and ordered producers to cut off the interview.
“You come on my show, you respect my colleagues, period,” Hunt said. “I don’t care what side of the aisle you stand on, as my track record clearly shows.”
Leavitt fired back with a few truth bombs of her own.
“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,” she said.
CNN released a statement in response to the growing debate controversy.
“Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are well respected veteran journalists who have covered politics for more than five decades combined,” CNN said in a 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.”
President Trump knows that he is walking into a trap and I have no doubt that he will be prepared for whatever nefarious schemes Jake Tapper and Dana Bash throw his way.They’re both just a pair of washed-up DNC propagandists on a failed cable news channel.
It’s going to be three against one on debate night – but I’d wager a Dr. Pepper President Trump is going to win the day.
