Natalie Harp Tweets on January 6 Revealed: What Trump Aide Posted as Capitol Riot Unfolded. Updated Aug 23, 2026, 01:30 IST.

Natalie Harp had amplified false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and encouraged Republican lawmakers to exhibit courage amidst the chaos

Years before Natalie Harp became a close White House aide to US President Donald Trump, she posted more than 150 messages on Twitter on 6 January 2021, repeatedly expressing her support for him as a pro-Trump mob later stormed the US Capitol. A review by CNN of Harp's now-removed X account, formerly Twitter, found that she urged Republicans to "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" as Trump began speaking to supporters near the White House.

She echoed his claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen and amplified statements by Trump allies who sought to challenge the legitimacy of Joe Biden's victory.

Harp's X account now appears to be suspended. Her posts were among a series of public expressions of loyalty to Trump from someone who would later become part of his White House team. "She has proven to be a totally loyal sycophantic adviser and staffer for him," David B Cohen, a political science professor at the University of Akron who studies the presidency, told CNN.

"Trump likes that, he doesn't like to be questioned. He likes to be revered, and she clearly does that," he said.

Harp was 29 at the time and was working as a host for One America News Network. Her Twitter biography described her as a member of a Trump "advisory board".

As crowds gathered in Washington on 6 January, she shared comments from members of Trump's family, including messages saying: "This movement will never, ever die!" and "This fight has only just begun."

She described pro-Trump demonstrators as "patriots" and challenged lawmakers to show "a fraction of the courage & passion" displayed by the crowd. "today we STOP THE STEAL!" she wrote.

Harp also promoted a statement by Rudy Giuliani during his speech that said: "let's have trial by combat!"

As Trump began addressing his supporters, Harp posted "FIGHT FOR TRUMP!" repeatedly in a single message and wrote: "Today D.C. is TRUMP COUNTRY!"

After a pro-Trump mob entered the US Capitol, Harp shared messages claiming that those involved were "not Trump supporters". She also circulated false claims that members of Antifa had infiltrated the crowd.

Hours after the attack forced Congress to suspend the counting of electoral votes, Harp again amplified comments from Giuliani. She quoted him as saying that the disruption had created "a few more options particularly with this delay" and that Trump's legal team was considering "how we can take advantage of those options".

After the House rejected an objection by Republican lawmakers to counting Arizona's electoral votes, she wrote: "America may not be America anymore. But God's still God. Don't stop believing!!"

She also praised lawmakers who continued to challenge the election results. Harp thanked Representative Jody Hice for being "a man of his word and the Constitution", praised Marjorie Taylor Greene for her "courage" and described Josh Hawley as "a true patriot" who "refuses to be intimidated out of his duty to the Constitution".

She also called six Republican senators who voted to sustain objections -- Ted Cruz, Hawley, Cindy Hyde-Smith, John Kennedy, Roger Marshall and Tommy Tuberville -- "patriots" who "did not waver in the fight for our beloved country & @POTUS."

The following day, after Trump publicly acknowledged that a new administration would take office, Harp shared his message that "our incredible journey is only just beginning". Fourteen minutes later, she added: "We love you, President @realDonaldTrump!"

On 14 December, she wrote: "THIS IS A COUP" after Biden's victory was formally affirmed by the Electoral College.
