Natalie Winters, a White House correspondent for Steve Bannon’s ‘War Room: Battleground’ media outlet, has addressed the backlash surrounding her fashion choices during news coverage.
Responding to criticism and a Daily Mail article highlighting reactions to her outfits, Winters firmly stated, “I would highly suggest you don’t go to war with me.” Her remarks resonated with supporters who argue that the controversy stems more from her conservative viewpoints than her journalistic work.
At 23, Winters has gained attention for her reporting from Washington, DC, particularly in the lead-up to President Trump’s inauguration on January 20. However, her first day in the White House briefing room became a topic of discussion for an unexpected reason—her attire.
She wore a form-fitting dress and high heels, sparking a debate on social media about the appropriateness of her outfit for a professional press briefing. Images of her look quickly went viral, leading to divided opinions.
Winters later took to Instagram, posting a photo with the caption, “Officially a White House correspondent.” In the image, she was dressed in a black top layered over a white collared shirt, paired with a short white leather skirt featuring a chevron pattern.
The outfit drew criticism from some who deemed it too casual for a White House setting. Many argued that it lacked professionalism, while others defended her right to dress as she pleases.
Winters dismissed the criticism as an attempt to undermine her credibility, stating, “Since they can’t censor us anymore, they’re trying to discredit my show by attacking my clothes.”
