Several MAGA media personalities who have recently been given press access to the White House recently had a run-in with CNN journalist Donie O'Sullivan — who covers the far right.
The Daily Beast reported that Sullivan cornered Real America’s Voice Chief White House Correspondent Brian Glenn, LindellTV White House reporter Cara Castronuova and Bannon’s War Room Co-Host and White House Correspondent Natalie Winters for a segment that aired Wednesday. O'Sullivan began the conversation by asking Winters: "Do you consider yourself a journalist?"
When Winters — who was the subject of a flattering New York Times profile written by Daily Caller alumnus Andrew Trunsky — responded that she did, O'Sullivan then asked her if she would "call it out" if the president "messes up."

“Yeah, and we have, I think time and time again, particularly on the...issue of immigration,” said Winters, who politically identified as a "populist nationalist" in the vein of her boss, Steve Bannon. “We are not for stapling green cards to diplomas.”
O'Sullivan put Castronuova — who went viral for being overly complimentary of Trump's appearance during a daily White House press briefing — into a particularly tight spot. The LindellTV correspondent — who called herself a "Trump fan" — told O'Sullivan she wouldn't have any problem disagreeing with Trump if the moment presented itself.
"I’m sure things will happen that I disagree with," Castronuova said. When O'Sullivan pressed her, she demurred, saying: “I’m not going to — let me put some thought into that for a second ... Um, I’m just overwhelmed with how well I perceive things to be going.”
Brian Glenn — the boyfriend of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) who asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy why he wasn't wearing a suit in the Oval Office – defended his outburst as "a legitimate question that I just wanted to ask."
