Running influencer who interviewed Tim Walz

The current influencer Kate Mackz receives a setback for a Tikok interview with the press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, and MackZ's followers argue that President Donald Trump's administration actively eliminates that make running more accessible.

“Disappointing”, “rough and dangerous”, “not it” and “I can hardly wait for the Putin video next!” are just a few of the comments that were left under the video and have 2.5 million views from Sunday.

Mackz, who has about 780,000 followok in Tiktok, is known for interviewing people while running. Her TikTok organic is “on the mission to get the world in motion”, and she begins every Tikok by asking the respondent: “How many miles do we run today?” In the video with Leavitt, which was released on Thursday, Leavitt says in a subdued yellow set and heels that she does not run. Instead, she gives Mackz a tour of the White House.

The collaboration was a surprise for the followers, since Mackz has never shown support for Trump and his administration before – and it was particularly disappointing for some if you consider Mackz a few weeks before the election day and ran with the democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz. The four -minute TikKok was relatively apolitical, but Walz still gave a platform before the choice.

In the video with Leavitt, press spokeswoman Mackz shows in the White House and looks into her office. During the tour, Leavitt Mackz shows a meme that falls on her bulletin board that makes fun of Legacy media.

“Look, we want to think critical here,” said Leavitt.

While the two go outside, Leavitt points to Trump's Tesla and says that Trump's employees can drive it at any time.

Among the people who burdened the video were Hope Walz, Tim Walz 'daughter, who said Tikok in a Friday, her father taught her early on that “running as an action is political”.

“The first thing he told me [when I started running] Running is a privilege, ”she said in a Tikok with more than 2 million views,” and being part of the current community is a privilege to which not all people have access. “

She continued and said that the privilege could have the time to run, money to buy equipment or access to healthy food.

“I do not really understand how the platform of administration, mental health reduces the financing and the literal programs to food banks … In this way, funds for climate coitiative and actively violate the planet in this way, send people away without proper processes, rogue reductions, all things prevent people from preventing people into the current community.

Hope Walz said that it was “insulted” for her father that Mackz put her Tiktok with him on her side and at the same time plated Leavitt.

“You don't come to 'both sides',” said Hope Walz.

Mackz did not respond to a request for comments and she did not publicly address the criticism.

Mackz not only showed Leavitt on her TikK page, Mackz also interviewed the press spokeswoman in her podcast “Post Running High”, in which Leavitt talked about her first job and was a young conservative and her typical day.

People on Tikkok did their own videos in response to Mackz 'interview with Leavitt. A Tikok user pointed out that running is political because women were only allowed to run marathons in 1972.

Another Tikok user said Mackz had no “morality” or “integrity”. The user also questioned whether the administration of Trump paid the video. Political groups have paid influencers for videos, but the influencers do not have to disclose whether the video is paid according to the Washington Post.

The White House did not immediately answer questions on how the interview was arranged or whether the Trump administration paid for it.

Another Tikok user made a video that apparently called Mackz and pointed out how easy it is to reject something. She said that she was offered a paid opportunity to promote the republicans of the Republicans in South Carolina, and she refused because she “does not endanger her morality” and “against everything”, she believes in “for a little money”.

Another ongoing influencer posted a Tikkok and in the video she said: “Hello, I'm Lauryn. I run and I don't support fascists.”
