Katy Tur is a reporter for NBC News.[1] She has exhibited repeated behavior of hostile and agenda-driven questioning to Donald Trump. The first instance of her hostile questioning came in a July 2015 interview where Tur became so exasperated from her failure to stump Trump that she was left speechless, whereby Trump urged her to "try getting it out" (23:40).[2]

The second hostile episode came when Tur implored Trump not to be interested in the release of 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her homebrew server while Secretary Of State.[3] She acted as if she were a Clinton spokesperson who wanted to hide the emails from the public, causing Trump to state, "I know you want to save her." [4]

When it became clear that her slanted reporting was not having the desired effect against Trump, she decided to play the victim card. After Trump called her "Little Katy" at a rally, she stated that it led to "extraordinary" events requiring "sink[ing] in."[5]

"It wasn't until hours later, when Secret Service took the extraordinary step of walking me to my car, that the incident sank in. The wave of insults, harassment, and threats, via various social-media feeds, hasn't stopped since. Many of the attacks are unprintable."

She attempts to show that she's a brave individual for pursuing a biased angle against Trump:

"I'm not sure how the prince or the Garden State feel about those put-downs, but the podium is still standing and I am, too. In fact, I'm still running for those live shots. Trump, meanwhile, is still calling me out by name."
