MAGA Melts Down Over New Natalie Harp Revelations

Evan Vucci / REUTERS Outraged MAGA boosters are blasting a new report on Natalie Harp’s family schism and her subsequent place in the Trump machine.

The Washington Post published an interview Sunday with Harp’s estranged brother that detailed the death of Harp’s father in 2020, and how Natalie had allegedly reacted to this by finding a father figure in Donald Trump.

“The Washington Post published a one-sided profile of Natalie Harp this morning that dwells on painful, intimate details of a private family tragedy from six years ago,“ MAGA podcaster Katie Miller wrote on X .

“Natalie is a loyal White House staffer who does not do interviews or seek media attention.

The piece implies the only reason for her loyalty to President Trump is family turmoil.

That framing is baseless,” the wife of Trump’s aide, Stephen Miller, said.

She took umbrage at the Post seeking comment from the White House about the story, describing the move as “particularly abhorrent.” The Post said in the article that Harp, 35, did not respond to their request for comment, and neither did the White House.

“Imagine seeking White House comment on the tragic death of a staffer’s father years earlier, unrelated to her current employment.

I’ve never seen a comparable profile of a Democrat staffer,” Miller continued.

“This is gross and fails basic human decency.

Intimate family matters shouldn’t be platformed, especially when sourced solely from one side.

The Legacy Media is broken beyond repair if this is what they resort to for clicks and sales.” The report detailed the death of the Harp patriarch, Bob, with his son, Preston, now a left-wing radical living in Nicaragua who says he is “prepared to die violently for the cause of the Sandinistas,” providing an autopsy and police report confirming Bob Harp took his own life.

The Harp family schism happened when Natalie and her mother Jill reportedly wanted to tell people Bob had “died peacefully in his sleep,” while Preston, 38, wanted to tell the truth, the Post reported.

After Bob’s death, Natalie became increasingly involved with the MAGA movement, speaking at the Republican National Convention later in August 2020, the month after her father died.
