Deleted tweets show Natalie Harp’s zealous support for Trump on Jan. 6
A CNN review of deleted tweets reveals that White House aide Natalie Harp was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump on January 6, 2021. The posts show her echoing claims of a stolen election and amplifying rhetoric from Trump's allies during the Capitol riot.
Why it matters
The report highlights the ideological alignment of Trump's inner circle and provides further documentation of the rhetoric used by his staff during the events of January 6.
Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021. A CNN review of Harp’s now-removed account on X, previously Twitter, found that Harp posted more than 150 tweets that day, urging Republicans to “FIGHT FOR TRUMP” as he began his speech near the White House. She echoed the president’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win. Harp’s X account appears suspended. It’s unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts. Harp’s devotion is hardly unusual in Trump’s inner circle: The president stocked his White House with loyalists.
