WATCH: Former Clinton Advisor Admits CNN Moderators Will Stack The Deck Against Trump During Debate

On Tuesday, former Clinton advisor and pollster Mark Penn admitted on Fox News that the upcoming CNN debate between President Joe Biden and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump would be stacked against the former president given the objective of the moderators, Dana Bash and Jake Tapper.

"I think they have incredibly different objectives," Penn said. "I think the moderators' objective is probably to take Trump down. You can't really be a CNN moderator who 'let Trump off the hook.' You are really going to get it."

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, CNN moderator Jack Tapper has a long history of anti-Trump bias in his news coverage. 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."

Moderator Dana Bash also has a lengthy history of bias against the ex-president. Notably, Bash's ex-husband, Jeremy Bash, was one of the 51 intelligence officers who falsely claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian disinformation operation in October 2020. Bash also falsely claimed on January 7, 2021, that Trump "incited violence" on January 6 and said that Trump's debate performance in 2020 was a "sh*tshow."

The moderators hosting the CNN debate will undoubtedly be biased against Donald Trump, but the 45th president seems prepared for the three-on-one matchup. "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."
