CNN has already set the stage for an unfair debate between former President Trump and President Biden by selecting a debate moderator with a "history of anti-Trump lies" and abruptly ending an interview with the campaign’s spokeswoman on Monday morning, according to the Trump campaign.

"CNN cutting off my microphone for bringing up a debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies just proves our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly in Thursday’s debate.

Leavitt was abruptly cut off during an interview with CNN host Kasie Hunt on Monday morning, after criticizing CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who will moderate Thursday's debate between Trump and Biden.

"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," Leavitt said on CNN, previewing the debate.
