Summary
Abdul El-Sayed used the Natalie Harp controversy to taunt Donald Trump on Saturday, saying the 80-year-old president “needs his rest” after Trump attacked the Michigan Senate candidate a day earlier.
CNN said Harp posted in support of Trump more than 150 times on January 6, 2021, including “FIGHT FOR TRUMP!” messages as rioters stormed the Capitol to block certification of Joe Biden’s win.
The jab follows Jon Ossoff’s August 16 rally line that Trump wants to “travel with Natalie” rather than do the job, a remark that drew a sharp White House response and split Democratic strategists.
Harp’s role has faced wider scrutiny after reports she worked in the White House for more than a year without seeking a standard security clearance and was later told to file the paperwork.
