White House tears into Ossoff with brutal takedown after jab at key Trump aide: 'Lightweight loser'

Sen. Jon Ossoff is facing backlash from White House officials and conservatives after taking a personal shot at Trump aide Natalie Harp at a campaign rally, referring to her only by her first name.

His jab sparked backlash from conservatives and Trump officials, who defended the 35-year-old aide as simply doing her job, called Ossoff's attack sexist and demanded an apology.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital: "Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team. Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a sh*t what this lightweight loser says."

Former Trump aide Mercedes Schlapp said: "I don't think any woman would want to travel with Ossoff. Natalie is smart, professional and successful. Ossoff has to make a sexist remark."

Rep. Brandon Gill wrote: "Natalie Harp survived bone cancer because President Trump allowed her the 'right to try.' Now she's an extremely hardworking and trusted assistant. Any other insinuation is vile."

Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck wrote: "@Ossoff is a vile coward for insinuating they're having an affair."

On "The Briefing with Jen Psaki," Ossoff said Trump "retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he's doing a great job," adding: "I've heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket... They're not telling him what he needs to hear. They're telling him what he wants to hear."
