Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) is sending critics spiraling after taking a jab at President Donald Trump and devoted White House aide Natalie Harp. During a rally in Atlanta on Sunday, Ossoff — who is campaigning for reelection — appeared to question Trump’s close relationship with Harp. The senator first took aim at the president, including over the ongoing deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier amid reports of mental health concerns and a secret plane used last month to transport the president over an Iranian assassination threat.“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings,” Ossoff said. “He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do his job.”The senator continued: “He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”A number of conservatives are now criticizing Ossoff on X, particularly over his public dig at Harp, 35, who was one of the few White House staff who flew with Trump on the undercover jet from the NATO summit.White House communications director Steven Cheung branded the senator with the nickname of “Jon Jackoff” on Monday, going on to call him “the biggest cuck loser in politics.”“Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he’s a miserable person who hates this country,” Cheung said. “It’s because he’s a radical, extremist Dumocrat.”Author and Jan. 6 journalist Julie Kelly posted: “Shame on him. What a vile thing to suggest. God forbid a young, attractive woman works her butt off every single day for the president and for the country she loves.”“I’m actually shocked Ossoff said this, thought he was better than this especially as a father of 2 daughters,” Kelly said. “I guess not.”Greg Price, a social media commentator, said it is Harp’s job to “be with President Trump a lot of the time.”“According to extremely online leftists, this means that she must be sleeping with her boss,” he added. “In most cases, you’d think a male Senator making a comment like that about a female staffer would be considered sexist, but I guess it’s okay if it’s the Democrat Party’s new favorite mediocrity.”Conservative activist CJ Pearson wrote that “the so-called party of ‘female empowerment’ is now implying Natalie Harp, a devoted, disciplined aide to President Trump, slept her way to the top. Let that sink in.”Ossoff has been floated as a 2028 Democratic contender for the White House but has repeatedly insisted that he has no interest in running. Several social media users claimed that his harsh remark signals that he will still launch a campaign. Harp — who has kept a low profile in the administration — is often seen at the president’s side.While on the 2024 campaign trail, she had gained the nickname “human printer,” a nod to how she followed Trump with a portable printer so she could hand him information on a piece of paper, which he preferred.Harp, a former anchor for the far-right One America News Network, has also left the president “adoring letters” in “personal spaces,” according to “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” a new book co-authored by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan that details Trump’s second term.One of the notes included the line “you are all that matters to me,” they reported.Haberman and Swan also claim that Trump thinks Harp is the “only one who loved him as much as his wife and kids.”“All of you will go off and make money,” Trump said at one point of his executive assistant, the book noted. “She’ll never leave me.”Rachel Cohen covers national politics as a reporter for Advance Local, focusing on President Donald Trump's second term and Congress.
