During the interview, Hunt tried to ask Leavitt about the Trump campaign setting expectations for this week's debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
Hunt noted that the campaign appeared to be alternating strategies by praising Biden as a brilliant debater while also describing him as "senile."
Rather than address the question, however, Leavitt started to bash Tapper, who is scheduled to moderate the debate on Thursday.
"Well, first of all, it takes someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper and Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has consistently..."
"Ma'am, we're going to stop right there if you're going to keep attacking my colleague," interrupted Hunt.
Leavitt, however, was undeterred.
"I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past that..." she continued
At this point, Hunt had had enough.
"I'm sorry, guys, we're going to come back to the panel," she said. "Karoline, thank you very much for your time, you are welcome to come back at any point... and speak about Donald Trump."Old news, really:
Since the Trump surrogates are out whining about the debate network and moderator again, just a reminder that Trump does this before EVERY debate, regardless of who the network or moderator is. Because he’s a whiny, excuse-making crybaby. https://t.co/6kpljLOnji

And Bannon dutifully announced the endgame:
CNN owes you an apology today," Bannon told Leavitt. "And if we don't get that apology to Karoline Leavitt and to the Trump campaign and to MAGA today, President Trump should cancel this."Trump now has the opportunity to cancel, or to declare the debate “rigged” even as he declares victory anyway. Same old same old. 🥱
