Alex Cooper Said Her Team Spoke With Trump’s About an Interview

“You had tried to avoid politics.” “I did.” “Or at least you said you were trying to avoid politics. And then what happened? Did they reach out to you? Did you reach out to them?” “Yeah, they reached out. Both sides reached out, and —” “You say both — so Trump reached out too?” “Yeah, we had a Zoom call with Trump’s team.” “Tell us about that.”’ “I wasn’t on it. I was like, let me know how that goes. I wasn’t on it. But they reached out, and I think the interesting thought for me was what I have built — I am a very competitive person back to my athlete nature days. I’m like, how do we keep ramping this [expletive] up? And although I didn’t want to technically get into politics, I did recognize there was a larger conversation that was directly impacting my audience, right? Joe Rogan has a conversation. He knows his audience. I know my audience. And it’s a bunch of women looking for someone to advocate for them every single day. And I understand people are like, oh God, you’re going to focus the whole time on abortion. Yeah, I am, because it’s not about abortion. It’s about women’s right to their bodies. So I thought — [applause] why not have on someone that could potentially have a huge impact on our country. And so I did it and it was fun.”
