Jon Ossoff Blasts Trump 'Sycophants' As He Doubles Down On Natalie Harp Dig

Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., doubled down on his comments invoking Trump aide Natalie Harp to criticize the president, telling MS NOW on Monday Harp is among a cadre of White House aides who are Trump's "security blanket to make him feel good about himself."

Ossoff said "the West Wing is full of sycophants who tell [Trump] what he wants to hear and enable him" and "so is the United States Congress."

In a Crucial Quote box, Forbes carries the rally line: "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."

Forbes also reports the White House's statement attacking CNN's Kristen Holmes, who asked Trump about the remarks: "Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It's quite troubling."

CNN defended Holmes, saying "personal attacks on journalists for asking questions are beneath the office."

Forbes quotes Maggie Haberman referring to Harp as Trump's "human binkie." The Forbes piece does not give Harp's age.
