Don’t miss the full story behind this fiery showdown and the incredible stand that’s inspiring thousands! 👇👇

New York running influencer Kate Mackz was met with merciless criticism following an interview with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, seemingly causing her to delete her video briefly.

Mackz toured the White House with Leavitt, resulting in fans slamming the influencer. Several users suggested that Mackz had deleted the video on her TikTok page, but it has since been reposted and her Instagram post is now online but with moderated comments.

While Mackz is known for running alongside her interviewees, Leavitt instead walked the influencer around the White House grounds.

‘No miles because we’re at the beautiful White House,’ Leavitt said. ‘But why don’t I give you a tour?’

Mackz wrote in the video’s caption: ‘From being at the White House last year speaking on a mental health panel and meeting President Biden, to being back again this year… thank you for having us. Truly surreal to walk through a place with so much history and meaning.’

But the lighthearted tour of the historic grounds flooded her comments with outraged trolls.

‘This is really, really disappointing. Yikes,’ said one commenter.

‘Reminder that this administration does NOT actually allow press from across the world into its press briefings. @apnews,’ another wrote.

But the lighthearted tour of the historic grounds flooded her comments with disappointed and outraged fans. ‘This is really, really disappointing. Yikes,’ said one

The comment was in reference to the administration’s decision to disallow AP News journalists from the Oval Office or Air Force One over the Gulf of ‘America’s’ controversial name change.

A federal judge has since ordered the administration to restore the AP’s press access, citing First Amendment rights.

‘What a dystopic slap in the face to every queer person who has ever supported you. I’m just really really sad about this,’ scathingly wrote one user.

‘Followed this account basically since the beginning but the lack of integrity shown with this one is gross and kinda sad.’

‘The fact she wasn’t even running – you put a torch to your platform for a video that doesn’t even fit your own brand,’ another pointed out.

‘This is actually the fastest I’ve ever ran… to the unfollow button,’ one said.

However, some praised her interview on Instagram.

‘We are so incredibly proud of you,’ one wrote.

‘The angry left never happy, because they are miserable themselves,’ another pointed out.

‘Yall. An interview is an interview!! Remember the days when media was unbiased and just interviewed everyone and put it out for the public to view and analyze to their own discretion?!’ one said.

‘No matter your political party, this is a COOL behind the scenes peek,’ another wrote.

Some fans referred back to a popular interview Mackz posted last year with Democratic Vice President nominee Tim Walz, which they believed alluded to her political alignment at the time.

Users referred to Walz’s daughter Hope’s disappointment with keeping the video pinned on her page and called for its removal.

‘Kate, be respectful, his daughter literally made a video telling you to unpin this. Insane that you won’t. Also, nice new car. 0 morals,’ one said.

‘Unpin since you want to both sides your followers,’ another wrote.

Her interview with Hope garnered more than 150,000 likes and remains pinned on Mackz’s Instagram profile as of Friday morning.

Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope, slammed Mackz for the interview and said it was ‘insulting’ to keep a running interview with her dad pinned to her page

Hope said on TikTok that she doesn’t ‘understand how platforming an administration that cuts mental health services, cuts funding and literal shipments to food banks, is entirely heard in the climate.’

Hope began her critique of the interview by saying that ‘running as an act is political,’ due to the privileges that allow one the ability to run, such as, Hope said, free time, physical ability, access to ‘quality’ food and water, access to safe spaces, or funds for the equipment.

‘Cutting funds to climate initiatives, and actively hurting the planet in that way, sending people away without due process, villainizing minorities, all of those things are preventing people from getting into the running community,’ Hope said.

‘Which is what I thought Kate’s platform is for, but it’s also just damaging to society as a whole. We should not be normalizing these people.

‘I’m not gonna tell anyone what to do with their page, but I think it’s insulting to my dad to leave a certain video pinned. Especially when he stands for, quite literally, the opposite of what this administration is doing.

‘You don’t get to “both sides” this. It’s not both sides. We are quite literally talking about good versus evil here, and I’m just really disappointed the whole thing happened.’

‘I was there when that video with my dad was filmed and I was very impressed with Kate, and this is just extremely disappointing,’ she concluded.

Pointing to a trio of framed pictures on the wall, she said: ‘I obviously have photos; of myself with the President…and that’s my baby, my nine month old son from our senior staff swearing in ceremony… my first press briefing’

The interview also gained attention after the pair bumped into White Lotus star and Trump critic Jason Isaacs.

Isaacs famously lashed out at Trump by drawing comparisons to the ‘wealthy and self-centered’ character he played on the blockbuster show, and in Washington DC last week referred to the president as a ‘scumbag’, according to The Daily Beast.

As Mackz’s camera panned to a crowd out the front of a White House building, she was stunned to spot Isaacs among the group.

‘Hi guys, look who we ran into,’ Mackz said. ‘One week after hanging out with Patrick [Schwarzenegger]. We’ve got to get you on the running show.’

Isaacs was all smiles as Mackz and Leavitt stopped to chat, telling her ‘sure, I’m in,’ before adding: ‘Wait, running and talking at the same time?’

As the pair walked away to continue their tour, a beaming Leavitt said: ‘You just never know who you’re going to run into at the White House.’

Isaacs was joined by other Hollywood stars ahead of the White House Correspondents Dinner, which Trump did not attend due to Pope Francis’ funeral.

Leavitt took Mackz through her favorite room in the White House – the press briefing room – before taking her into her own office to meet the press team and have a peak at where she spends most of her day.

‘This is my office,’ Leavitt said as she opened a door with her name engraved on a plaque.

Pointing to a trio of framed pictures on the wall, she said: ‘I obviously have photos; of myself with the President…and that’s my baby, my nine month old son from our senior staff swearing in ceremony… my first press briefing.’

Then Mackz was shown Leavitt’s cork board above her desk. On it was a picture of herself with a group of school children from Georgia with whom she had met.

Leavitt proudly pointed to another photo of her son, this time he was beaming as he sat on Air Force 1, the president’s plane.

‘My baby on his first Air Force One flight,’ the doting mom said.

The final item on her corkboard was a meme which Leavitt said she ‘loves.’

‘This admin has ICE destroy a family’s home in Oklahoma and sent 3 young girls and their mom outside in their underwear in the middle of the night and stole all their stuff. They were all citizens. ICE didn’t care. Apparently, you don’t either. It’s a shame,’ one comment said

‘It’s a man pointing at a brain and it says no thanks, I won’t be needing that. I believe everything legacy media shows,’ she said, reading from the picture. ‘We want critical thinking around here.’

Leavitt gushed about her demanding job, describing it as a ‘dream come true’ and a ‘full circle moment’ after starting her career in the first Trump administration as an intern.

Later as the tour of the grounds continued, Leavitt casually pointed to a slick red Tesla parked out the front. ‘By the way, that is the President’s Tesla,’ she said.

‘He has so generously told staff that we are allowed to drive it if we wish to take it out. I haven’t taken him up on the offer, but maybe I will soon.’
