She had a memorable moment when she reported a story about Omran, a Syrian boy covered in blood and dust after one of the attacks on innocent civilians in Aleppo. When she shared the shocking footage, she reflected the emotions of millions of people as she fought back tears when she told his story on CNN. She told the viewers how his life in the Syrian capital of Aleppo witnessing a civil war is totally different from the perspective enjoyed by most American children. Totally covered in dust as if he was a construction worker, Omran looked to be in total shock. A wound on his head was shedding blood all over his face, it was the result of an airstrike that brought destroyed his home.
Bolduan showed the pictures and later commented on how Omran was pulled from under the remains of his home. Her voice began to crack as the footage played for the audience. The images and videos of Bolduan’s broadcast were shared on social media. A debate arose over the reasons why powerful nations were neglecting the crisis. The boy died later from another attack but sadly nobody cared or noticed.
Bolduan challenged Trump's advisor about whether their plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. would have stopped an American citizen like the terrorist who murdered 49 people at an Orlando nightclub over the weekend.
Trump called for a ban on Muslim immigrants after the last attack on a club in Orlando, arguing that many followers of Islam had the same thoughts of that killer. Bolduan countered that the person committed the attack is a U.S. citizen, born right in New York City. She sarcastically argued that instead of banning terrorists, why not ban all Muslims? She thought it was foolish for Trump to pin the attack on a whole religion when it was just one bad seed in a group. To prevent a group of people from entering the country when it was actually a US citizen that committed the crime was wrong in her eyes.
During her career, Bolduan was involved in a controversy concerning the Supreme Court ruling on President Obama’s health care overhaul. Wolf Blitzer had on the basis of the reporting done by Bolduan, announced that the law was ousted, but the court mandate did not disturb the law and it stayed intact. CNN corrected its reporting immediately and apologize for Bolduan’s mistake.
In 1994, Bolduan’s mother was indicted in a case of reckless homicide after she killed a 9-year-old girl and injured a 10-year-old kid while riding on a Jet Ski on Indiana Lake. The Bolduans had to pay over $1 million in a settlement.
