Ossoff taunts Trump about White House aide Natalie Harp
Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democrat from Georgia, mentioned President Trump's aide, Natalie Harp, during a campaign stop. CBS News' Nancy Cordes reports.
White House officials mocked Sen. Jon Ossoff after the Georgia Democrat criticized President Trump during a campaign rally. Ossoff, who is running for re-election in November, has been speculating about a potential 2028 presidential bid through harsh critiques of Trump and his administration. At a rally in Atlanta, Ossoff accused Trump of prioritizing "building his ballroom and traveling with Natalie" instead of fulfilling his duties as commander-in-chief.
The remark infuriated those in the White House. Ossoff was labeled as a "cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama" by White House spokesman Davis Ingle. The communications director, Steven Cheung, even gave Ossoff a vulgar nickname, "Jon J—koff," and called him the "biggest cuck loser in politics." Trump humorously responded to Ossoff's comments, jokingly comparing him to the character Pee-wee Herman.
