Former White House aide Natalie Harp posted over 150 pro-Trump tweets on Jan. 6, review shows

A CNN analysis of the now-suspended X account of Natalie Harp, a former One America News Network host who later became a White House aide, found she posted more than 150 messages on Jan. 6, 2021. The tweets urged Republicans to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP,” repeated the president’s claim that the election was stolen, and amplified statements from allies such as Rudy Giuliani.

Harp described the crowd gathering for Trump’s speech as “patriots,” challenged lawmakers to show “a fraction of the courage & passion” of the demonstrators, and posted repeatedly that “today D.C. is TRUMP COUNTRY.” After the Capitol breach, she shared claims that the rioters were not Trump supporters and circulated unverified reports that Antifa had infiltrated the mob. She also relayed Trump’s later calls for the crowd to disperse.

In the hours following the attack, Harp highlighted comments from several Republican lawmakers, praising Rep. Jody Hice, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Josh Hawley and others as “patriots” defending the Constitution. The next day, after Trump acknowledged the incoming administration, Harp posted his message that “our incredible journey is only just beginning” and added her own declaration of loyalty.

The review noted that Harp’s pro-Trump activity on social media began before the 2020 election, with posts in December 2020 calling the result a “coup” and earlier messages referencing biblical verses in support of Trump. Neither Harp nor the White House responded to requests for comment.

"She has proven to be a totally loyal sycophantic adviser and staffer for him," said David B. Cohen, a political-science professor at the University of Akron.
