Natalie Harp, a White House aide to President Donald Trump, posted more than 150 pro-Trump tweets on Jan. 6, 2021 [1].
The discovery of these deleted posts highlights the personal loyalty and political alignment of key staff members within the current administration.
The posts, which surfaced on Twitter, now known as X, demonstrate Harp's devotion to the president during the events at the U.S. Capitol [2]. Among the messages, Harp wrote, "Today We STOP THE STEAL!" [3].
These social media activities were conducted before Harp became a White House aide [1]. The volume of posts, exceeding 150 in a single day [1], indicates an active effort to promote the narrative that the 2020 election was fraudulent [4].
Other evidence of Harp's relationship with the president has also emerged. In a letter, she referred to the president as "My Guardian and Protector" [5]. This level of personal fealty has drawn attention from political opponents.
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) commented on the nature of the president's inner circle. "Trump would much rather travel with Natalie and build a White House ballroom," Ossoff said [2].
The resurfaced posts were not public until recent reports brought them to light [5]. They provide a window into the ideological commitments of aides who now hold positions of influence in the executive branch.
“"Today We STOP THE STEAL!"”
The revelation of Harp's social media history underscores a trend of appointing staff based on personal loyalty and shared ideological convictions regarding the 2020 election. By surfacing these deleted posts, critics aim to question the objectivity of White House aides and highlight the continuity of the 'Stop the Steal' narrative within the current administration's inner circle.
