A member of the “new media” solicited advice Monday from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, asking her “which direction” to head with her coverage.

American First Policy Institute ambassador Kambree Nelson, who describes herself not as a reporter but a “grassroots activist,” was among those present for Leavitt’s briefing to “new media” voices following her regular press briefing.

Nelson revealed some information about herself to Leavitt in order to obtain some tips.

“I’m kind of the nerd when it comes to reporting,” she said. “I’m not the headline news girl. I’m the nuts-and-bolts, I’m the policy-type nerd. So, what direction do you advise me to go into? Like the White House files that y’all send out every single day? Because that’s what people are used to. When they want to ask me questions, they want to know the nuts and bolts of everything.”

Leavitt seemed thrilled with Nelson’s presence.
