Harp in the Crosshairs | Calgary News
Description
Natalie Harp, the president’s fiercely loyal executive assistant, is under fire after a Georgia Democrat called her a “defenceless flying palace” during a campaign event — sparking outrage, sexist backlash, and renewed media scrutiny over her role in the administration. Since joining in 2019, Harp has been a constant fixture by the president’s side, even during assassination attempts and trials, famously setting up a mobile office to keep him updated on the go. Known for her advocacy on cancer patient access and her deep devotion to the president, she’s become both a symbol of loyalty and a lightning rod for political attacks. The senator’s comment, which questioned the president’s focus and implied an inappropriate relationship, was swiftly rebuffed by the White House — but not before going viral and reigniting debates about gender, power, and the optics of presidential aides.
