Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Why we used this label
The case centers on Ossoff's 'travel with Natalie' remark about Trump and Natalie Harp and whether it was sexist. McKoon said Ossoff named none of the male aides who routinely travel with the president, called the remark a sexist cheap shot at a woman, and said Ossoff owes Harp a clear and public apology. That is an express criticism of the remark itself, so we labeled it Condemned.
