The White House hit back hard — for a reason — after Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., targeted close Trump aide Natalie Harp over the weekend.
President Donald Trump called Ossoff a “Pee-Wee Herman look-alike,” while communications director Steven Cheung dubbed the senator “the biggest cuck loser in politics” on X.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle slammed Ossoff as “a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama.”
The onslaught stems in part from Ossoff’s status as a potential presidential candidate.
But his comment that Trump “wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie” landed as “a cheap shot,” one administration official said.
Harp’s proximity to Trump has unnerved some of his aides and sparked unfounded rumors about a relationship.
One person close to the White House said Harp “will ultimately jump the highest out of anyone in the room when he says jump,” adding that the aggressive pushback is partly because “the first lady doesn’t like these types of things” and Trump “does get furious” about personal topics.
