Jon Ossoff wasn't afraid to call out the president's closeness with Harp.
Harp's apparent closeness to the president throughout their working relationship became obvious to members of Congress.
Senator Jon Ossoff joked Donald "doesn't want to do the job" as president because his focus is on "his ballroom" and traveling "with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar."
In response, he was bashed by top Trump aides, including White House spokesperson Davis Ingleman, who called him "a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama."
He added, "Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team… Nobody gives a s--- what this lightweight loser say."
White House director of communications Steve Cheung called Ossoff "the biggest c--kold 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. It’s because he’s a radical, extremist Dumocrat," he said.
