Karoline Leavitt, the national spokesperson for the Trump 2024 campaign, showed up on Steve Bannon's War Room program Monday just hours after CNN abruptly ended her interview for insulting the network's debate moderators.
"And why are we in Atlanta, ma'am, with CNN, who controls the microphone on Thursday?" Bannon asked about the upcoming debate.
"We're in Atlanta on Thursday because President Trump delivers on his promises," Leavitt replied. "And he said repeatedly, came from him, he will debate Joe Biden anytime, anywhere, anyplace."
"But CNN showed their hand with me on their network this morning," she continued. "The fact that they cut off my microphone simply for repeating words that Jake Tapper himself has said lies about President Trump."

"But when I simply try to repeat them, which is relevant because he's a moderator at Thursday's debate, they cut me off and kicked me off."
Bannon encouraged Trump to cancel Thursday's debate on CNN.
"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."
