Natalie Harp’s Stunning ‘Fealty’ to Trump Exposed in Deleted X Posts

6, 2021, has issued a searing verdict.
A CNN report found that before Harp became President Donald Trump’s most devoted aide, she was an online warrior defending the bloody siege on the Capitol in January 2021, when rioters attempted to overturn the results of the U.S. presidential election.
Harp shared more than 150 posts that day, galvanizing the right to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP,” while amplifying the now-president’s baseless claims that the election had been stolen from him.
“These posts offered a public display of fealty,” CNN reporter Isabel Chapman, who co-reported the story with Andrew Kaczynski, told CNN News Central.
That day, Harp, then an anchor at far-right One America News Network, referred to the rioters as “patriots” in her posts and declared they would “STOP THE STEAL!” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Harp’s now-removed posts.
These new revelations follow a Daily Beast report that unearthed Harp’s X account, which she opened in 2016 and frequently used to fawn over Trump.
In 2019, for example, Harp compared Trump to a biblical figure.
“We all know the story of the Good Samaritan,” she begins, before detailing how, she claims, Trump saved her life.
“But what you don’t know is I was that forgotten person on the side of the road—left to die of medical error and cancer.
The Political Establishment passed me by.
But @realDonaldTrump didn’t.
Meet my Good Samaritan!” she wrote in the 2019 message.
Experts have contested Harp’s claim that legislation passed under Trump allowing people to try non-FDA-approved drugs saved her life, saying the legislation Trump signed in 2018 would not have made the medication available to her because it had already received FDA approval.
