Danielle Kurtzleben reportedly is the person who hit President Trump with a fuzzy mic. Donald is a political correspondent assigned to taxpayer-funded NPR’s Washington Desk. She appears on NPR shows, writes for the web, and is a regular on The NPR Politics Podcast. She covered the 2024 presidential election, focusing on economic policy and gender politics.
She’s an anti-Trumper. Kurtzleben has previously accused Trump of being pro KKK, and compared his speeches to those of Hitler.
Before joining NPR in 2015, Kurtzleben spent a year as a correspondent for far-left Vox.com.
She is fingered as the person who hit President Trump in the face with her broom mic on Friday. I guess she was overly enthusiastic.

We don’t know if she did it deliberately, but we bet she didn’t apologize.
As I exclusively reported this morning, this is the @NPR reporter who hit President Trump in the face with a boom mic, @titonka.
I think she hit Trump in the face on purpose.

Somebody hit her with an ugly stick.
Nahhhh. One free pass for being clumbsy. I’m lucky to make it through breakfast with a white shirt on and I’m all alone doing the normal routine in the same place. Now if everyone else copies then it’s a problem. A single, not enough. The more important question is why are the anti trumpers covering trump? If they’re journalists shouldn’t they be covering things they want to cover and people they support instead? Fake news anyways, I don’t know why they bother with all the impromptu press meet and greets on the fly.
They are like fly’s, they like to eat shit and bother people!
Prosecute her for assaulting the president. It’s waaaaaaaay past time that limits were placed on and legal actions were taken against these leftists who insist on pushing the limits and ignoring the law
The mic was literally a feather. Think about what you’re saying. Calm down. Take a less from the president whom lead by example here. Remain calm.
You literally have no implications of what this stunt might have done!
The SS evidently doesn’t know how to do their job. Trump should have her arrested for assault. If a MAGA reporter had hit Ol Joe with a microphone I guarantee Garland would already be filing charges.
Assault!!!!!
With a fuzzy microphone. Reminds me of a beastie boys song. Must be a slow news day or something.
There could have been polonium, ricin, fentanyl or some other poison on that mike!
