'Read the room girl': Running influencer Kate Mackz faces backlash over her White House interview
Briefly

Kate Mackz, a prominent running influencer with a substantial TikTok following, is under fire for her recent interview with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Critics argue that the interview, which featured a tour of the White House without delving into political issues or policies, reflects a concerning trend of influencers catering to pro-Trump sentiments. Mackz's approach highlights the White House's strategy to engage with nontraditional media, sparking debate about the effectiveness and integrity of influencer-based outreach as criticism mounts regarding the lack of challenging discourse.
"I can't believe you get to wake up and be here every single day," Mackz said as she and Leavitt took a stroll through the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room."
"Truly surreal to walk through a place with so much history and meaning," Mackz wrote in the video's caption.
