Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff got this particular narrative ball rolling for the Democrats when he insinuated that President Trump might be behaving inappropriately with one of his aides named Natalie Harp. Ossoff later backpedaled when the misogyny started to backfire, but the media was of course there to help slightly change the subject to "Harp once rode in the trunk" while accompanying Trump.
The New York Times of course couldn't help themselves either.
.@ShawnMcCreesh me on Natalie Harp, who's gone from sprinting after Trump's golf cart in Scotland to a permanent seat around him, underscoring not just the loyalty he demands but his preference for unvetted channels of information outside his govt https://t.co/dtImmVxYTo

I always laugh at the desperate "Trump demands loyalty" angles. As if most other bosses want their aides to be disloyal.
You've already heard about CNN's Erin Burnett's contribution to again proving why you can't loathe "journalists" like this too much.

"Estranged" brother?
The dictionary definition of that word is "alienated from" and/or "no longer in a friendly or affectionate relationship with a family member or friend, and typically living apart."
What is the journalistic value of booking her brother as a guest if he can’t even confirm your anonymously sourced reporting? https://t.co/YsiZ9OZZTz

If he's "estranged" how would he know anything at all about what's going on inside the White House where his sister works for Trump?
That doesn't matter to Burnett, because the guy said what CNN was hoping he'd say. Here's just one example:

The dude sounds indistinguishable from Rachel Maddow.
This part is truly gross and Burnett would be ashamed of herself if she were capable of feeling shame:

Imagine having somebody on and basically asking if he believes his estranged sister he no longer talks to is wrong to credit Trump with helping save her life and thinking you're on the good side here.
So....if @realDonaldTrump had NOT gotten HER meds approved by EO she WOULD have DIED.....

SOUNDS life saving to ME
If Trump didn’t do that your sister would have died so in fact he did save her life , CNN the worst network Erin Burnett is a POS

It's often been said that Trump could cure cancer and the TDS media would be reporting "why that's not necessarily a good thing," and Burnett just helped prove that yet again.
The "Harp jumped in the trunk" thing is also pathetic.
Her estranged brother, and it appears for good reason. What an awful thing for him to do.

Also, SUVs don’t have trunks like a sedan does, it’s just an open space and hopping in the back during these situations is actually very normal and done often. https://t.co/nQOqsv7cbf
CNN's ability to help the Democrats manufacture and push narratives is unmatched, and they've earned every ounce of derision that gets sent their way.
