Oh please. Spare us the outrage. All he said was “traveling with Natalie” and you guys are all “WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT TRUMP IS FUCKING HER BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE HIS DAUGHTER THAT HE WANTS TO FUCK?”

What an evil and stupid framing. Hey, CNN employee who's reading this - didn't you want to be a journalist? You're posting National Enquirer nonsense and it's a shameful stain on your soul and on humanity in general. Do something! You have power here and you can use it.

I like Ossoff but I think his mention of Natalie Harp was a mistake. Harp is a grown woman who has voluntarily taken on a stupid job. She doesn't need our protection. But what exactly was Ossof saying about her? No one really knows. A message that makes no sense is a bad message.

No, they just saw an opportunity to capitalize on Ossoff's mistake. "How dare he talk about innocent little Natalie!" She is innocent in the public's eyes. We should piss off the GOP but on more important things than Natalie Harp.

Ok, so here's the thing, right. The unspoken implication is that they're fucking. Because they're fucking. The reason they're freaked is because anyone who looks at the situation for more than a second does not, in fact, think she is innocent. What with all the fucking and all.

He referenced Trump wanting to travel with Harp (fact) and later called her his security blanket (plausible). Neither of those statements were directed at Harp but were about Trump and his inability to do anything well aside from enriching himself. So you take the disingenuous framing that the ...

How was that a “swing” at Ms. Harp? Was there anything even slightly critical about her in Ossoff’s assertion that Trump enjoys traveling with her more than actually working?

The Trump administration gave approval for the Ellison’s purchase of CNN. “Reports surfaced claiming Larry Ellison offered to reshape or overhaul CNN's coverage to be more favorable to Trump in exchange for regulatory sign-off.” 🧐

Ossoff said Trump wanted to spend time with Natalie. Whatever more someone wants to read into that is on the reader. The dig was at Trump for not wanting to do his job.

FALSE. HE CRITICIZED MANGO MESSIAH BY CRITICIZING HIS PREFERENCE FOR FLYING ALL AROUND INSTEAD OF DOING ACTUAL WORK. THAT SHE WAS MENTIONED IN PASSING AT ALL DOES NOT TURN IT INTO A SWIPE AT HER. CNN IS DOING THE KKKRISTOFASCISTS' PROPAGANDA FOR THEM. CNN IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. #BOYCOTTCNN

He mentioned that they travel together, so please go deep and explain the “swing “? Did he compare her to a monkey or an ape? Did he tell her to be quiet? Did he say she asked stupid questions?

No, CNN, Ossoff did not take a swing at Natalie Harp. He barely mentioned her. How on earth can you angle it that way? That's some fucked up editorial judgment.

Trump's unseenly attachment to a future Fox Blonde is a story you should have been on, unless you're too afraid of losing access. That valuable access got Trump to call your reporter... "Piggie"? "Ugly"? "Stupid"? And Ossoff is not "taking a swing" at Harp.

His comment was about who our rapist and felon president and how he spends his time. Maybe y’all should take a swipe at your editor when they tell you to degrade yourselves by printing this trash

Your lede suggests he went after her in speech - he did not. But, when DJT and his minions verbally attack someone, on an almost daily basis - crickets from MSM. Facts, smacts- it’s all about the clicks. ffs

Man there's like no Republicans even on this site and you still bend over backwards to be deferential to them. God forbid you not kiss the fucking ring.

No he did not. He mentioned her in the context of accurately pointing out that Trump has no interest in the hard details of his job, but only in the perks of power and the fluffing of his sycophantic retinue. You might also consider being accurate in your reporting.

She's a Trump lackey. She's lucky he didn't say anything actually bad or closer to the truth. They ought to be grateful he was as nice as he was. Anyway fuck off with the pearl clutching.

Taking a swing at her would be calling her "Surrogate Ivanka he can actually sleep with" He actually took a swing at the president for not doing his job. There's a subtle difference.

This is fascist propaganda being spread by American media. He took a swing at an orange baboon not his escort. American media is not ethically or objectively prepared to cover the rise of fascism in the United States.

Umm... he said nothing disparaging about Natalie Harp. The GOP is reacting like he did, and with such fervor that it seems like there's a secret there that many of them may have seen and now assume Ossoff's statement alludes to. Methinks they doth protest too much.

I’m telling you by the end of the week the NYT and WaPo editorial board will be calling this a “scandal” for Ossoff and demanding apologies because they have nothing else to throw at Democrats and won’t attack Trump for anything.

Oh ffs. He was talking about Trump, you vicious pandering assholes. And his weirdness and creepiness and all-round unfitness to be allowed in any decent society. FFS, he’s abandoning South Korea, and you natter on about a fake insult to Trump’s extremely odd assistant.

No, but they're trying to use it for political points ahead of a midterm election in which they're about to get their asses roundly kicked, and cnn is helping with their framing, shock shock

Actually he didn't "take a swing" at this person. Most people have zero idea who she is and Ossoff's oblique reference to her was an insult to Trump - a notorious creeper and pedophile - not the woman Ossoff alleges he is creeping on Get some journalistic standards. Fuck's sake

He said she traveled with him. Is that something she denies doing or that she's ashamed of? Is it now uncouth to identify anyone the president travels with? Seriously: please describe how this is "a swing."

CNN’s own reporting says she’s gone to great lengths to travel with him, are they taking a swing at her too?!? 🙃 bsky.app/profile/just...

According to CNN, Natalie Harp once jumped into the trunk of an SUV after getting into a screaming match with other Trump staffers after being denied a seat in the motorcade heading to a Trump trial appearance. www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/p...

And *this* deliberate mis-characterization is why CNN ratings are going to tank like CBS. MSNOW has better analysts and experts — CNN has Fox News level programming

CNN, you’re already engaging in distortion of facts and behaving like Fox News —before the deal with David Ellison is even finalized!
