Trump Pal Hits Out Over Natalie Harp Cancer Speculation

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / AFP via Getty Images Conservative TV anchor Greg Kelly melted down over questions being raised about Donald Trump’s close aide Natalie Harp.

The 35-year-old executive assistant to the president is almost always at Trump’s side, but she was in the spotlight this week after she was name-dropped by Senator Jon Ossoff on the campaign trail, sparking MAGA and White House fury.

Kelly, who Trump called a “friend,” angrily defended Harp over claims about her alleged “obsession” with the president and the great lengths she has gone to remain in Trump’s proximity.

The Newsmax host played a series of clips of her speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2020, where she spoke of being a bone cancer survivor and credited Trump with saving her life.

“They didn’t give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr.

President; you did, and without you, I’d have died waiting for them to be approved,” Harp said on stage at the time.

While Harp has repeatedly credited Trump’s 2018 Right to Try Act with saving her life, for years it has been pointed out by experts that it was probably not the case.

Harp’s claimed she received, in her words, “an FDA-approved immunotherapy drug for an unapproved use,” but the law Trump signed only applied to drugs not approved by the FDA.

The Washington Post also reported in 2020 after Harp’s RNC speech that she had already talked online about receiving her new treatment two months before Trump ever signed the law.

But as Harp’s past and ties to the president have come back into focus, Kelly turned his wrath on Harp’s critics.

“I thought she was phenomenal,” he said after playing an RNC clip on air.

“And this whole thing about authorizing the experimental drugs for people who have no other option saved her life,” he insisted.

“Democrats are like, ‘oh that has not yet been established.’ You sons of—” The anchor cut himself off before finishing his line, going after Democrats before suggesting people were just “jealous” and calling Washington, D.C. a “nasty place” before moving on to play another clip of her with Trump on the campaign trail.

“Natalie Harp in my book is a very, very special person,” Kelly also declared on his show before insisting Trump needs an aide who is “there for you at all times.
