Staff ReportsOnce again, the left’s fashion police are at it, clutching their pearls over outfits instead of priorities. Natalie Winters, a White House correspondent for Steve Bannon’s War Room, has found herself in the middle of a firestorm created by individuals who think they are the gatekeepers of the White House wardrobe. Wearing a black top, a white collared shirt and a white skirt paired with sneakers is a more pressing issue than some of the more colorful events that have transpired on government grounds.
Let’s unravel this, shall we? Winters has been the focus of what many deem a petty hit piece. It seems certain critics got their feathers ruffled by her choice of attire, deeming it inappropriate for the White House. You’d think in a place where, rumor has it, far more scandalous activities have occurred, an outfit like hers wouldn’t even make a blip on the radar. But alas, priorities!
Interestingly enough, these critics aren’t raising a fuss over truly shocking happenings that have made headlines in the past. Instead, the outfit of a 23-year-old correspondent is where they draw the line. One might find it curious that these folks aren’t bothered by Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop adventures or certain PG-13-rated shenanigans at pride events held on the White House lawn. Nope, none of that seems to be a problem, but a skirt? Alert the media!
Despite the backlash, Winters isn’t backing down. Social media is aflame with support, as should be expected when jealousy rears its head in the guise of journalism. Even betting markets are keeping tabs on whether the journalist who penned the fashion faux pas article will face repercussions for this dress code debacle. It seems like whenever these critics try to sling mud, it lands right back on them.
In the grand scheme of things, Winters exemplifies how media inadvertently showcases its hypocrisy. The same people are quick to cheer for extravagant outfits at Hollywood events seem equally quick to judge conservative attire at government buildings. It’s as if there’s some fashion rulebook no one told the rest of us about. But rest easy, because Natalie Winters is taking it all in stride and remains focused on delivering news from the briefing room.
So, as the saga continues and detractors try to make a spectacle over something as simple as an outfit, many cannot help but laugh at the absurdity. The real question is why the uproar over fashion choices continues when there are far more significant issues at hand. Some people need to reevaluate what matters. For now, the best strategy seems to be making America focus on real issues instead of fabric and footwear.
