MAGA Senator Melts Down Over Talk About Trump’s ‘Pretty’ Blonde Aide, 35
Ken Cedeno/Reuters Sen.
Bernie Moreno scrambled to defend Donald Trump’s “pretty” young aide, Natalie Harp, whose fawning behavior toward the president is freaking out her White House colleagues.
Moreno spoke to TMZ at Trump’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Sunday.
He refused to touch on the downright bizarre letters Harp, 35, sent her boss, 80, including one where she said the president is “all that matters to her,” instead accusing the press and critics of the relationship of misogyny.
“That’s super misogynistic.
I mean, the reality is she’s a very talented person.
She’s very smart at what she does.
She helps the president make sure he’s communicating.
And the fact that if it was a guy, nobody would say that,” he added.
Moreno said that rumors are arising just because the $150,000-a-year special assistant and executive assistant to the president is “a woman” and “obviously…pretty.” “When the reality is she’s very talented, she’s very, very smart.
I happen to know her very well.
It’s also obviously a very kind person.
She went through bone cancer in her twenties,” Moreno said.
“I mean, look at the other day, I’ve always said, let’s just keep personal issues out,” he added.
