White House aide Natalie Harp's old January 6 posts have resurfaced, revealing over 150 posts showing her devotion to President Donald Trump.
White House aide Natalie Harp's old posts from January 6, 2021, have resurfaced, showing extraordinary devotion to President Donald Trump during the Capitol riot.
January 6, 2021, was the day a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify Joe Biden's win in the 2020 election, forcing lawmakers to pause the count for hours
CNN reviewed Harp's now-removed account on X and found that Harp posted more than 150 X posts that day, urging Republicans to "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" as Trump began his speech near the White House and repeated his claims that the election had been stolen. She also shared messages from Trump’s allies who questioned the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win.
In one post, she allegedly wrote "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" a dozen times and said Washington, DC, was "Trump Country" for the day.
As crowds gathered in Washington on the morning of January 6, Harp, who was then a One America News Network host and described herself on Twitter as a Trump "advisory board" member, shared comments from Trump’s family members saying, "This movement will never, ever die!" and "This fight has only just begun," according to CNN.
Harp, who was 29 at the time, called the pro-Trump demonstrators "patriots" and urged lawmakers to show "a fraction of the courage & passion" of the crowd. She also wrote, “today we STOP THE STEAL!”
Harp's posts after the Capitol riot
After the mob broke into the US Capitol, Harp shared posts saying the rioters were "not Trump supporters" and spread false claims that Antifa was behind it, as per CNN.
After the House rejected the Arizona challenge, Harp wrote: "America may not be America anymore. But God's still God. Don't stop believing!!"
She praised lawmakers who challenged the results, calling Hawley "a true patriot," and hailed six senators as "patriots" who "did not waver in the fight for our beloved country & @POTUS," as per CNN.
The next day, Harp wrote: “We love you, President @realDonaldTrump!”.
What happened to her account
According to TMZ, Natalie Harp's X account is no longer active. It is unclear whether the platform suspended the account or Harp deactivated it herself.

The 35-year-old Californian first gained attention in 2019, when she praised Trump on stage for signing the 2018 Right to Try Act. Harp, who battled bone cancer, credited Trump's health policies for her survival, saying, "Thanks to President Trump, I'm living with cancer," as per CNN.
