WATCH: CNN Debate Moderator Jake Tapper Compared Trump To Hitler, Showed Anti-Trump Bias For Years

Millions of Americans will watch the upcoming CNN-hosted 2024 presidential debate to see the first presidential rematch in over 50 years, but some of the focus may fall on the moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who both have a history of anti-Trump bias. Tapper, in particular, has shown a unique disdain for the 45th president, going as far as comparing him to Hitler.

The focus on the CNN moderators comes after Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had her mic cut off by CNN host Kasie Hunt after the Trump official began criticizing the CNN moderators for their former coverage. "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 explained before Hunt ended the interview, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer.

The Trump campaign is right about Tapper's past coverage of the 45th president. Following the 2020 presidential election, Tapper told the CNN audience that their "national nightmare" is over. "It's been a time of several significant and utterly avoidable failures. Most tragically, of course, the unwillingness to respect facts and science and do everything that can be done to save lives during a pandemic. It was a time when truth and fact were treated with disdain. It was a time of cruelty where official inhumanity, such as child separation, became the official, shameful policy of the United States. But now the Trump presidency is coming to an end," the CNN host said in 2020. "For tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long national nightmare is over."

Tapper also has a history of comparing Trump to Hitler during his coverage of the 45th president, as shown in a montage shared by Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec. "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 about Trump's comments on immigration.

More recently, Tapper has been seen on-air demanding CNN cut footage of President Trump visiting a Miami restaurant after a court hearing. "To the folks in the control room, I don't need to see more of that. He's trying to turn it into a spectacle, into a campaign ad," the CNN moderator said. "That's enough of that. We've seen it already."

Jake Tapper has repeatedly shown his true colors to the American people throughout the president's first administration and during the 2024 race. His ability to be unbiased at the upcoming presidential debate will be nearly impossible, and President Trump knows it. "I'll probably be negotiating with three people, but that's OK. I've done that before," Trump said at a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, last week. I'll be debating three people instead of one, instead of one-half of a person."
