US journalist lashes out at ‘mainstream reporters’ for remarks on her sweater: ‘Your misinformation attack failed’
Natalie Winters wore a white collared shirt, black top, and white skirt on her first day at the job, which some deemed "inappropriate."
Natalie Winters has lashed out at people for calling her outfit inappropriate, which she wore on her first day as a White House Correspondent. In a long post, she added that she had broken more stories than “most mainstream reporters” and did so while “graduating from UChicago in three years.”
“Excuse me? A few deranged haters comment that they didn’t like my *sweater* and this becomes a story? This mean girl energy is unreal, and you didn’t even ask for comment,” Winters, who co-hosts Steve Bannon's War Room, wrote on X.

“Last time I checked, at 23 I’ve broken more stories than most mainstream reporters (that you all tried to censor and actively suppress by smearing as misinformation.) All while graduating from UChicago in three years,” she added.
What is the controversy regarding her outfit?
On her first day as a White House correspondent, Winters shared a series of photos showing her outfit. She was seen wearing a black top, a white collared shirt, and a white skirt. She paired her outfit with white socks and sneakers of the same colour. However, many commented on her outfit, calling it "too casual" for the White House. Some also suggested she dress more “formally” and "appropriately" for such a formal position.
