Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021.
A CNN review of Harp’s now-removed account on X, previously Twitter, found that Harp posted more than 150 tweets that day, urging Republicans to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP” as he began his speech near the White House. She echoed the president’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win. Harp’s X account appears suspended. It’s unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts.
Harp’s devotion is hardly unusual in Trump’s inner circle: The president stocked his White House with loyalists. But her January 6 posts offered a public display of fealty, as she praised those fighting to keep Trump in office and repeatedly cast him and his allies in heroic terms.
“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 who studies the American presidency. “Trump likes that, he doesn’t like to be questioned. He likes to be revered, and she clearly does that.
