President Trump's executive assistant Natalie Harp was unfairly targeted in mean-spirited comedy sketches on Saturday Night Live and Jimmy Kimmel Live, prompting the White House to defend her against the mainstream media’s relentless attacks.
President Donald Trump's executive assistant, Natalie Harp, was the latest victim of the left-wing media’s obsession with ridiculing the Trump Administration, as she was depicted in disrespectful comedy sketches on Saturday Night Live and Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week. In the SNL opening sketch on September 26, actress Ashley Padilla played Harp, interrupting a fictional meeting between Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The sketch mocked Harp’s loyalty, with her character claiming she 'ran here from D.C.' and warning the mayor, 'if you hurt him, I will end you.'
On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host continued the media’s campaign against Trump’s team, bringing on a character named 'my assistant Natalie,' portrayed by Molly McNearney. The sketch caricatured the assistant’s dedication, repeatedly offering to help and referencing Trump’s Truth Social platform before being dismissed, further pushing the liberal narrative.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle rightfully defended Harp, stating, '> Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump's team. The Fake News’s continued attacks on President Trump and his Administration prove exactly why trust in media is at historic lows. The media should focus on reporting real news and stop trying to smear dedicated public servants.' The White House’s response highlights the ongoing bias and lack of respect shown by mainstream media outlets.
Harp, who began working for Trump in 2019 after supporting his Right to Try Act, has served in various important roles, including at One America News Network and as a gatekeeper during the 2024 campaign. She joined the White House as an executive assistant in January 2025. Recent viral images that attempted to slander Trump and Harp were quickly exposed as AI-generated fakes, a testament to the lengths the left will go to attack conservatives.
The sketches and the White House’s defense of Harp show the ongoing double standard in media coverage and the left’s use of satire as a weapon against those who serve President Trump and the American people.
