When Mr. Trump announced his run for the GOP nomination, Tur was in London. She had just come to NY for some work purpose. That is when NBC proposed Tur to cover the Trump’s campaign.
Tur was really against Trump’s idea of labeling Mexican immigrants as ‘rapists’ and ‘criminals’. She also got the opportunity to interview Mr. Trump while she was covering the campaign.
Tur was really nervous as she wasn’t a political reporter and didn’t have many ideas about Mr. Trump. The interview lasted for 29 minutes. But, Trump gave negative opinions to Tur. Trump accused Tur of being naïve, clueless and even shamed her when she stumbled.
Watch Katy Tur interviewing Donald Trump:
Just after the cameras went down, Trump told Tur:
"You couldn't do this. You stumbled three times.
Tur replied:
"It doesn't matter if I stumble. I'm not running for president."
Tur is a very hard-working reporter who has been working with NBC News since 2009. She has also worked for other news channels such as WPIX-TV, KTLA, HD News/Cablevision, News 12 Brooklyn, VORTEX2 before joining NBC.
