Here's the Tweet That Best Captures This Scummy, Weird Media Obsession With a Top Trump Aide
I truly don’t understand this story: Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and other liberals make baseless accusations that President Trump
is having inappropriate relations with a top aide, Natalie Harp, and
the media is off to the races trying to find something. You’re seeing in
real time how the Russian collusion hoax became a chronic media fiasco —
they’ll buy anything, hook, line, and sinker. I don’t see the story
here. Is it that presidents have top aides who are around them often?
They’re trying to shift this into a national security issue, but please — the foundation of this story was sex. And then CNN
dug up Harp’s estranged lefty brother to get into her psyche.
It was
bizarre. Chuck Ross had the perfect tweet that captured this media
frenzy:
Here’s a simple breakdown of Ms. Harp, who survived bone cancer, by the way (via WSJ):
Sad
reminder that the mean girl bullying of childhood never really goes
away. Sometimes those bullies grow up, get hair and makeup and big media
shows, and continue the same cruel, petty BS with their cruel, petty
friends and producers. Aided and abetted by a loser chorus. https://t.co/mUMDZwgQts
Sen. Jon Ossoff didn’t even use her full name. But everybody in Washington knew who he was talking about.
At
a recent campaign event, the Georgia Democrat argued that President
Trump would rather “travel with Natalie” on Air Force One than do the
hard work that comes with being commander in chief.
The Natalie in
question is Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old aide to Trump who has become an
object of fascination for both the left and the right. Though she
rarely speaks, she is an omnipresent figure at Trump’s side, standing
just off camera during Oval Office events, traveling with the president
around the country and the world, and tapping out his social-media
posts.
Videos and photos of her interacting with the president
have racked up millions of views online, becoming a new form of
Trump-era clickbait.
To Democrats, Harp is one of the president’s
chief enablers. For Republicans, she is Trump’s gatekeeper. A well-timed
text to Harp can unlock access to Trump, giving well-known lobbyists
and fringe figures alike an audience with the most powerful man in the
world.
So, again, what the hell is going on here? What are we doing here,
people? The great pivot is this security clearance development, which I
now couldn’t care less about: it was dredged up based on sexual
innuendo, and we all know the media’s initial goal here was to engulf
the White House in a sex scandal. So, please, stop with the ‘look, we
found out this, that and the other’ line somewhere else. Security
clearance issues were not the target here.
SCOOP -- Trump aide Natalie Harp worked at the White House without security clearance for a year @jake__traylor@JaxAlemany Nat sec official said this was very concerninghttps://t.co/uY8ba4i51H
