Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she posted more than 150 tweets demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021.

✨ Key Highlights

  • CNN's review of Natalie Harp's now-removed X (formerly Twitter) account found she posted more than 150 tweets on January 6, 2021, repeatedly urging Republicans to "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" and echoing false claims that the election had been stolen.
  • Harp, then 29 and a One America News Network host whose bio listed her as a Trump "advisory board" member, later became a key White House aide to President Trump.
  • Her account on X appears suspended, and it remains unclear when the posts were removed or whether Harp or the platform took them down.
  • On the morning of the attack, Harp praised gathering demonstrators as "patriots," amplified statements from Trump family members such as "This fight has only just begun," and promoted Rudy Giuliani's "trial by combat" remark, which his lawyers later called "hyperbolic."
  • After the mob breached the Capitol, Harp shared tweets claiming the rioters were "not Trump supporters" and circulated debunked reports that Antifa had infiltrated the crowd, before later relaying Trump's calls for rioters to go home.
  • Political scientist David B. Cohen of the University of Akron described Harp as a "totally loyal sycophantic adviser," noting Trump prefers to be revered rather than questioned; neither Harp nor the White House responded to CNN's requests for comment.
