Steven Cheung tells Ossoff to look deep into his soul over his Natalie Harp remark
Steven CheungWhite House communications director
Cheung condemned Ossoff for attacking White House staff and responded with a personal attack.
Responding to
Ossoff’s remark was sexist and misogynistic because it reduced a female White House aide’s professional role to a sexual implication.
“Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country. It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat”

Where this statement fits
Jon Ossoff’s travel with Natalie remark about Donald Trump and Natalie Harp
At an Atlanta reelection rally, Senator Jon Ossoff said President Donald Trump did not want to do the work of the presidency and instead wanted to build a ballroom and “travel with Natalie” on a Qatari aircraft. Trump allies accused Ossoff of misogyny and of implying an affair with White House aide Natalie Harp. Ossoff did not apologize and said senior White House aides are powerful taxpayer-paid public officials whose influence is fair to scrutinize.
