Rising superstar White House Correspondent and Executive Editor for Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Natalie Winters, was barred this week from joining Washington D.C.’s National Press Club, despite her hosting one of the nation’s most circulated podcasts and consistently breaking news stories promoted by congressmen, Elon Musk, and President Trump.
On Wednesday, April 2, Winters shared a screenshot of the vague letter she received from the National Press Club, stating without rationale that Winters did “not meet the qualifications for membership at this time.”
The National Press Club denied my membership application after review by their Board of Governors.
I “do not meet the qualifications for membership.”

On Friday, April 4, Winters exposed to her over 625,000 followers on X that the National Press Club partnered with a designated foreign mission of the Chinese Communist Party called the “Confucius Institute U.S. Center,” which serves as an “important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up,” according to high-level CCP officials.
Winters uncovered that The National Press Club’s Executive Director William McCarren served on the Confucius Institute U.S. Center’s Advisory Board and personally hosted the Institute’s annual gala in Washington, D.C.
In light of these dubious revelations, Winters wrote,
Consider my membership application to a CCP-collaborating group formally withdrawn.
America First!

In March 2025, The Gateway Pundit reported,
War Room White House Correspondent and Executive Editor Natalie Winters has become the subject of an international smear campaign simply for exercising her freedom to hold strong, fact-based views while wearing glamorous clothing.
Winters has recently enjoyed a meteoric rise to international fame and prestige after first working as an investigative journalist for The National Pulse and as a War Room correspondent. During the pandemic, Winters was a top student at the highly rigorous University of Chicago, where she graduated in only three years.
Winters simultaneously served as a watchdog for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, National Institute of Health, and World Health Organization, exposing former WHO lead Covid researcher Peter Daszak as a member of the Chinese Communist Party payroll, his 71 donations to Joe Biden in 2020, and his longtime misdirection tactics intended to steer the public away from any information concerning the Wuhan lab leak that started a pandemic.
While the Fake News avoids any reporting on Winters’s investigative findings, they instead attempt to scandalize Winters for dressing boldly.
Today, even right-leaning outlets such as the New York Post and The Daily Mail have piled onto the attempted assassination of Winters’s character, referring to Winters’s professional attire “skimpy” and “inappropriate,” respectively.
In April, Winters fought back against these baseless headlines, arguing that her attire is simply feminine, and that journalistic publications should focus on Winters’s blockbuster reporting instead.
Winters wrote on X, “Known for my skimpy outfits”… Excuse me? I’m wearing a blazer. I’m actually known for countless exclusive scoops (cited by congressmen and presidents) and hosting the War Room when Bannon went to prison – all before I turned 24. I’m never going to dress like a man. F off.”

The Gateway Pundit reported that Winters, along with dozens of well-known political podcasters, recently gained exclusive access to White House officials and cabinet secretaries at the White House’s inaugural “Podcast Row” event.
Assuredly, even while the CCP-affiliated National Press Club refuses Winters’s membership due to her political views, Winters and her fellow New Media voices remain poised to bear the fruits of our New Media landscape – with The White House recently usurping the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association’s control of the White House Press Briefing Room seating chart and daily press pool rotation.
