NPR Reporter Hits Trump in the Face: What Went Wrong?
A shocking moment unfolded on the press line. A reporter hit President Trump in the face with a boom mic. Yep, you read that right.
The incident took place during a Q&A session on Friday night. President Trump was answering questions as usual. Then it happened. A female reporter swung a boom mic – known as a “dead cat” – right into his face. For many, it’s a no-brainer: when you cross that line, you should be kicked out of the press pool.
According to far-right sources and the ever-vocal Laura Loomer, the reporter in question is NPR’s Danielle Kurtzleben. Loomer didn’t mince words, saying that Kurtzleben is a “massive Trump hater.” Facts are facts—even if you don’t care if you lean Republican or liberal. If you hit the US President in the face, that’s a breach of decency and a threat to protocol.
NPR’s handling of this incident has raised eyebrows. The reporter’s identity was kept under wraps for nearly two days. NPR’s silence, even after knowing that one of their own was involved, is unacceptable. How can such a critical breach slip under the radar?
The question remains: Why did the session continue after such a blatant act? Why wasn’t the reporter immediately detained or banned from future briefings? The lack of proper action and accountability is astounding. And now, almost 48 hours later, we’re still wondering why her name was hidden from the public.
Laura Loomer broke the news on Sunday. She stated in a tweet:
I have identified the reporter who hit President Donald Trump in the face with a boom mic this week while he was speaking to the press on the tarmac.
Her name is Danielle Kurtzleben @titonka. She is the newly appointed White House reporter for NPR and a massive Trump hater and LGBTQ advocate who once suggested during the 2024 campaign that Trump only spoke in Howell, Michigan because it has ties to the KKK.
Did she hit President Trump in the face on purpose?
According to additional sources like Grok AI, this marks the first time in history that a US president has been hit in the face with a press mic. While some downplay the event, it could have been so much worse.
Questions are piling up. Was Kurtzleben interviewed by the Secret Service afterward? Was her equipment properly inspected? More importantly, why did NPR try to cover this incident up?
For those who believe in accountability, the failure to immediately remove a reporter responsible for physical contact with the President is a serious breach of trust. The American public deserves clear answers and decisive action.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to NPR to demand clarity. We need to know why this event was hidden, and what steps are being taken to prevent such shocking behavior in the future.
Stay tuned as more details emerge.
