Katie Waldman’s brief bio
Waldman was born on the 4th of October in 1991 as Kate Rose Waldman to Parents Glenn and Sheryl Waldman. She is the middle child of the family with two siblings: William, born in 1989, and Audie, born in 1995.
Waldman graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture and got her Master’s degree from George Washington University in Public Administration.
Katie was controversial since her days back in college!
The 27-year-old seems to have started her controversial side from early on, even before joining the real political world.
During her time at the University of Florida, Katie served in the student government. In 2012, Waldman was witnessed throwing away hundreds of copies of the school’s newspaper the evening before student government elections. Apparently, it was because the front page of that edition was the news of the head football coach’s endorsement of a candidate from the party opposing Waldman’s Unite party.
Katie was under fire for the incident however, she proceeded to be a part of the student government. She apparently, didn’t face any consequences as well.
Waldman is famous for her hostility towards migrants!
Katie was previously serving as the deputy press secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. During her time there, Katie made headlines with her harsh comments on immigration and migrants. She defended the administration’s policy of family separations which is still a very controversial and sensitive topic.
In an interview with CNN in January 2019, she reportedly called asylum seekers “Violent mob of migrants” that were threatening agents and the border. She also called the migrant caravan traveling to the southern border a media stunt in an interview with Fox News in 2018.
In her own words, she says,
“This caravan is being put together by NGOs and others mainly for media attention. I mean as I just said we’re seeing caravan size every day at the border. You know we’ve heard reports of these folks getting on buses and then getting off and walking for the cameras. You know they are getting a ton of media attention.”
She has been successful in offending many people both Democrats and Republicans alike with her hostile nature towards migrants. However, she impressed many people in the administration.
Katie is a pro-Trump!
At this point, it should not be surprising to know that she is pro-Trump. She is one of the vocal supporters of Trump and especially his policies regarding immigration. She was one of the people to strong headedly defend the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” policy. It evidently led to the separation of thousands of children from their families at the U.S-Mexico border.
Katie’s present boyfriend Miller is as controversial as Katie herself!
When Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff tweeted about Katie dating the White House senior policy advisor Stephen Miller, the whole public went berserk. Katie herself is controversial but her boyfriend also turned out to be another controversial personality that is Miller.
Miller has said his own share of controversial statements throughout his career. The senior policy advisor started off early as a far-right making controversial arguments like students not needing to pick up their own trash as there are “plenty of janitors who are paid to do it”. The 34-year-old political advisor has been labeled a white supremacist to a white nationalist.
