US Journalist Slammed For “Unprofessional” Outfit On First Day As White House Correspondent, She Responds

23-year-old American journalist Natalie Winters, who co-hosts Steve Bannon’s ‘War Room: Battleground’ digital media outlet, has been in the spotlight recently. It all began when she shared photos of her outfit on her first day as a White House correspondent. Winters wore a black top, white collared shirt, white skirt, white socks, and white sneakers. She captioned the post with “Officially a white house correspondent.” 

Winters’ photos quickly went viral, with many criticizing her for dressing too casually and lacking professionalism. Some suggested she dress more “formally” and “appropriately” for her position. 

One commenter wrote, “Could you at least dress more modestly? This isn’t high school, it’s a professional and highly privileged position to be in.” Another said, “Terrific, but rethink the skirt and sneakers. C’mon, you can’t be that dense.”

She pointed out that she has broken more stories than “most mainstream reporters” at the age of 23. Winters emphasized her accomplishments and the impact of her work, particularly through the War Room media outlet.
