Jon Ossoff Crossed a Line With Natalie Harp

The Daily Signal (opinion) · back to the audit
Sen. Jon Ossoff is free to criticize President Donald Trump. That's his job as an opposition politician. But during a recent Georgia campaign rally, Ossoff went further, singling out White House aide Natalie Harp in a remark that was unnecessary and inappropriate.

The op-ed (by Robert B. Bluey) quotes Ossoff's full line from Sunday: "He doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar."

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."

Radio host Larry O'Connor said: "Do his minions realize that outside of their BlueSky echo chamber, this does not come across as an attack on Trump. This is an attack on a young woman who works in the White House. This meanspirited jerk is using her as collateral damage in a feeble attempt to go viral."

Bluey writes that "Jon Ossoff is auditioning for 2028, plain and simple."

Washington Post's Dan Merica, on NBC's "Meet the Press": "It's the innuendo and bringing up his personal aide. I would love to know what Natalie Harp, let alone what Natalie's name ID is in Georgia. That is for an audience that plays to a very online base who knows who Natalie Harp is, that knows the innuendo in that, and that's why I think it's easy to say this isn't necessarily for a Senate audience, as it is for a more lefty Twitter audience."

Tim Murtaugh: "Jon @ossoff subjects an innocent female staffer, a bone cancer survivor who credits President Trump's Right to Try legislation for saving her life, to the oldest and most vulgar innuendo there is, simply because she's at work seemingly all the time. Ossoff should apologize."

When MSNBC's Jen Psaki pressed Ossoff on why he invoked Harp specifically, he answered: "Well, I've heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket. And I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House. They're not telling him what he needs to hear. They're telling him what he wants to hear. And the nation is at war, and we cannot afford that."

The op-ed refers to Ossoff's mention of "the 35-year-old White House executive assistant."
