'I think she’s probably the most free person in the Trump world,' says author and CNN correspondent KateBennett_DC
Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images I’d never been on Executive Foxtrot One, the presidential aircraft used to transport members of the First Family, when I ascended its red-carpeted stairs and boarded the cabin last spring to travel to a Nashville children’s hospital with Melania Trump. But thankfully, I was seated near Kate Bennett, a frequent Foxtrot flier and correspondent for CNN.
In the book, I felt a tension between your desire to be sympathetic to her, and your requirement to cover her aggressively and fairly. Anyone we cover for a long time, who we think about constantly, we’re going to develop empathy for — it would be sociopathic not to. But how do you navigate feeling for her as a human being while maintaining enough distance to perform your job?
It’s interesting, because I view my job, in part, as an attempt to humanize my subjects. And that’s not a very popular thing to do right now, in this political environment. I hear often from the left, that they think taking the time to understand the people with whom they disagree, who they think are evil, is not only not a worthwhile endeavor, but is actively harmful, is somehow a form of complicity. But your job, too, is about humanization, in a way.
