Axelrod criticizes Ossoff's remark about Natalie Harp: 'Distracted and detracted'

Preston Harp, estranged sibling of White House aide Natalie Harp, recently discussed his perspective on his sister's infatuation with President Donald Trump. Natalie's bond with Trump has been a topic of national discussion, particularly following remarks by Senator Jon Ossoff, who claimed Trump prioritized her and the White House ballroom over his official duties.

Preston, who has been estranged from Natalie for years, maintains that his sister's allegiance to Trump is not due to any physical attraction but is rooted in their shared conservative upbringing. Speaking on CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront, Preston stated, "Well, my mom raised us with the idea that American exceptionalism was the correct way of looking at things, that the United States is the boss of the world."

He added that he believes Natalie has never strayed from this mindset, and Trump embodies the values their mother instilled in them during their upbringing.

Preston dismissed Natalie's claim that Trump saved her life during her battle with bone cancer, stating, "But if she thinks about it, what he did was he made experimental drugs legal to try and that insurance would pay for it. So, it's not like he like physically saved her life, you know?" He also revealed that Natalie had written love letters to multiple presidents, including George Bush during the Iraq War, though she did not receive a response.

Despite his differences with her views, Preston expressed his love for his sister and hoped she would change her perspective, emphasizing that everyone is part of a human family.
