Notably, the accidental senator for Georgia has finally created a name for himself with a disgustingly sly attack on President Trump that insinuated an adulterous relationship with Natalie Harp, the sweet young woman who posts Trump's social media missives. Harp, 35, is the last person who deserves such shabby treatment.

She battled debilitating bone cancer in her 20s that caused her severe pain and trapped her in a wheelchair.

She is devoted to President Trump since she believes he saved her life when he provided patients access to experimental drugs in his first term.

He asked her to work for him during his wilderness years between presidencies, and she has been a loyal fixture at his side ever since, through the ordeal of court cases and assassination attempts.

It grieves her that the man she regards as a father figure has been so besieged by evildoers.

Harp is a devout Christian who believes that helping the president combat what she calls the "deranged Radical Left" is God's work – and who is to say she's wrong?

Meanwhile, the mediocre non-entity who won a fluke runoff for the Democrats after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, harbors lofty ambitions for 2028.

So, on Sunday, in a grandiose recitation of cookie-cutter anti-Trump talking points at a rally in Atlanta, he smuggled in a cheap shot at Harp, using her first name as a sly wink to thrill his base by implying an unsavory familiarity with the president.

Trump "doesn't want to do the job; he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie."

While Dems disingenuously asserted Ossoff was not implying anything untoward, the media took the obvious bait.

Meanwhile, the particularly private Harp doesn't provide interviews but she is noted to remain upbeat, despite it all, and has informed friends she is "staying focused, on mission, 24/7. Too much to do, and too little time to do it."

Notably, the willowy home-schooled blonde has a fresh-faced innocence that makes the pile-on seem all the more egregious. It is why an impressive parade of Republican VIPs have lined up to defend her all week.

Preston Harp is clearly Trump-deranged, but he ruled out a romantic relationship between the 80-year-old president and his executive assistant.

For context, the worst thing he could say regarding his sister was that their mother raised them to "believe in American Exceptionalism, " a concept he abhors.

"Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect, " he remarked.

"I think that's where her infatuation for Trump comes from, honestly, because I don't think it's a physical attraction."

For context, the tragedy of their father's suicide in 2020 was dredged up this week as bottom-feeders trawled for dirt.

Turncoat aides from Trump's first term such as former deputy press secretary-turned-Kamala Harris supporter Sarah Matthews were only too happy to be applied by CNN to tarnish Harp in a bid to damage the president.

Since she left the White House before Harp kicked off working for Trump, matthews asserted the Secret Service was "alarmed" by Harp's closeness to the president – but how would she know.

As no doubt were old leaks to the New York Times that Harp once wrote a sycophantic letter to the president, her catty remarks are motivated by jealousy.

Not to mention Melania Trump, a formidable woman who is probably the only person in the world the president fears.

In practice, the first lady is even less probable to tolerate unseemly shenanigans under her nose.

Throughout his working life, Trump has surrounded himself with solid, competent women such as Wiles, the first female in the job, and Karoline Leavitt. This person say he is a fair boss who treats them with respect. His Democrat foes can't fathom such a thing.

Does Ossoff really think a hard-working single professional woman can't succeed without sleeping with her boss? It doesn't say much regarding his own attitude to female staff.

Notably, the president labeled Ossoff "Pee Wee Herman" since he looks like the creepy actor Paul Reubens, whose career collapsed after he was charged with indecent exposure in an adult movie theater and afterwards was arrested over alleged child porn.

It's not the only way Ossoff's too-clever-by-half barb has backfired on him.

It makes him look grubby and sexist, at odds with the image he has painstakingly cultivated as a decorous Obama wannabe. Even Democrat grandee David Axelrod called his remarks "gratuitous and unnecessary."

Ossoff has created a name for himself, all right, but it's not what he thought.

In short, miranda Devine: Jon Ossoff's disgustingly sly and sexist attack on Trump aide is the central thread here, and readers can expect follow-up reporting as the picture becomes clearer.
