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.

Absolutely!
Oh, just like the bullet really wasn’t a bullet, but a piece of glass??
She hit him in the face.
I didn’t hear any apology.
Any honorable person would express immediate remorse. No excuse.
Considering attempts on his life, and the rabid hatred by the left, people have the right to get “worked up over this”.
You would think that NPR would name her, that is their job, report news. Since we are paying her salary, we have even more of a right to know who she is.
I doubt she’s even a biological female.

I doubt it was intentional. Carelessness.
Seriously, there were multiple pictures of her, but between the hair dyes, hair styles, she looked (actually) like 4-6 different people lol
Those comments are exactly the ones that should be toned down.
Brushing his face with a boom mic is an assassination attempt? That is just unhinged.
It’s so unhinged, its funny.
Disagree single her out everybody should know who she is
A silly, yet timely remark. Did the nursing home take you to a sugar shack this week?
Why would one expect her to be wrong?
Some would say that mic hit Trump, by a simple definition.
Some wouldn’t get worked up over a word..
But you do you
” as the journalist who allegedly hit Trump in the face with a boom mic”
Instead of saying she “allegedly was the journalist who hit Trump in the face with a boom mic”, meaning we aren’t sure from the video who did it, they say the “journalist who allegedly hit Trump in the face with a boom mic”, as though it was not 100 percent certain whether he was hit in the face with the mic, as though there were not live videos from 10 angles showing him being hit in the face with a boom mic.
If 80 million people hated my guts with half of them wanting something bad to happen to me I would be hiding underground in Antarctica. May she never know peace for the rest of her days.
?? I use adguard with firefox, and all the ads get blocked, so sites load pretty quick- makes the internets enjoyable almost-
SS should have at least dog piled her
that would have been fun
“ with the other unwanted women.”
Perfect description of the lbgqwerty heifer crowd!
Not a big deal? Happens all the time? Please, name the occasion when it happened last time.
Hahahaha...the raised eyebrows, chin slightly elevated...eyes narrowed!
