From NPR.
Brett Cooper is one part of the constellation of conservative voices online that help people process the news. The difference between Cooper and many of her peers is that she’s also a young woman, and a new mother.
24-year-old Cooper’s online following includes nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube, where she hosts The Brett Cooper Show. The YouTube series varies from American pop culture analysis, takes on current events, the state of the Republican party, and rakes in hundreds of thousands of views per episode.
Sometimes her commentary leads to controversy. Last month, Cooper found herself at the center of internet discourse when she pushed back against President Trump’s comments regarding the necessity of H1-B visas and a supposed lack of talent among Americans in the job market.
She spoke to Steve Inskeep about why her approach is so popular, what Gen-Z conservatives care about, and her hopes for the future of the GOP.
