She probably thought she had special access considering the cozy financial relationship between Breitbart and Trump.

I hadn't thought of that but you might be right.

She's very presumptuous anyway.

Politico: Money Man Behind Breitbart’s ‘Cheerleading’ of Cruz

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Breitbart.com are both bankrolled, in part, by the same New York hedge fund manager, raising the specter that the abundance of favorable publicity Cruz receives from the right-leaning political website is no coincidence, according to Politico.

“From reader polls and the conservative website’s near cheerleading coverage of the Texas Senator, to donor connections behind the scenes, Cruz likely has the Republican presidential field’s deepest relationship with the machine — a relationship he’s seeking to parlay into more energized grassroots support,” according to Politico.
Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow said the site appeals to grassroots conservatives, but pointed out that it has also published stories critical of the senator.

In April, The New York Times reported that Wall Street hedge fund magnate Robert Mercer was believed to be the main donor behind a network of four pro-Cruz super PACs that reportedly raised $31 million just weeks into his campaign.

Mercer, according to Politico, also funds Breitbart, whose 18.7 million unique users per month “can be an important starting ground for driving the conversation on the right.”

Conservative campaign finance operatives told Politico that Mercer and Steve Bannon, Breitbart’s executive chairman, have worked together on political projects, including Mercer’s political data company, Cambridge Analytica, which is also working with Cruz’s campaign.
