A reporter for NPR has been driven into hiding after being named by MAGA supporters as the person who hit President Donald Trump in the face with a microphone.
Danielle Kurtzleben, a political correspondent for the government-funded outlet, was named as the journalist who allegedly hit Trump in the face with a boom mic during a press conference last week, according to independent journalist Laura Loomer.
Loomer, a staunch Trump fan, identified Kurtzleben on Sunday in a post on X, suggesting she may have hit the president on purpose.
'I have identified the reporter who hit President @realDonaldTrump in the face with a boom mic this week while he was speaking to the press on the tarmac,' Loomer wrote.
'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?,' Loomer speculated.
Loomer's tweet has been viewed nearly 7 million times - and triggered hundreds of other Trump fans to also speculate about Kurtzleben's alleged involvement.
After being named, Kurtzleben made her X account private and has not spoken about the situation.

Good! It was clearly intentional, and this twit should get some of the left’s medicine.
There’s no need to single out this one reporter - but NPR and PBS should not be receiving public funding. Trump and the GOP Congress need to finally resolve this - I can remember Reagan talking about it when I was a kid.
Right?
Big talker until she herself is called out.
Obviously it was intentional.
I hope Trump doubles his effort to de-fund NPR.
She looks a bit like the gollum girlfriend of SBF.
Still, Trump should make an example of her by banning her in his presence.
Has Danielle Kurtzleben been arrested yet for assault, or at least been removed as White House reporter?
If Loomer is not sued, it would indicate that her accusations are correct.
My thoughts exactly.
So do I.
That’s right.
If not, the sooner she is the better.
I didn’t watch the clip the other day - she did it on purpose?
She assaulted our President so she could brag about it over martinis at her anti-American get togethers with the other unwanted women.
She needs to be held accountable - why hasn’t the SS visited her.
She/lefties can sure dish it out, but, they never can take it.
Unblock your tweet feed, witch!
“I didn’t watch the clip the other day - she did it on purpose?”
There is some plausible deniability. Maybe she tripped, or was pushed. It’s too coincidental that she’s a leftist at NPR. I say, without certainty, it was intentional.
Exactly!
I’m wondering the same....why hasn’t SS paid her a nice visit?
POTUS assigned his fave SS officer as SS director. What say he?
