As we told you earlier, Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff obviously decided to be one of the presidential hopefuls from his own party to reach rock bottom first when he participated in a shameless effort to smear Trump aide Natalie Harp.
This is just gross.
The best/worst part about this smear of an innocent female is the fact he's reading from prompter.

No worries: MSNOWCNN bookers are likely frantically trying to book him tonight to keep this baseless crap in the news. https://t.co/usrwuZQBf2
Now we get to the "guess what happened next" part.
President Trump was honoring a hero lifeguard who went viral after video was posted showing him saving the life of somebody who would have drowned if he wouldn't have been around. At that point a CNN reporter decided it would be a good time to help Ossoff and the Democrats spread the smear around:
.@KristenhCNN is a disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession.@POTUS hosts a hero lifeguard in the Oval Office and she uses it as an opportunity to take a cheap shot about one of President Trump's staffers.

These scumbags are the lowest of the low. pic.twitter.com/oUrwbAtBfJ
This might be President Trump’s most brutal takedown of a reporter yet…

TRUMP: “Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! You’re very disrespectful in front of this young man. Don’t you find her disrespectful? He understands…Who are you with?”
REPORTER: “I’m with CNN.” pic.twitter.com/wulTEnsve4

THIS. Is CNN.
While President Trump honors an American hero, this joke of a reporter starts spewing absolute garbage in a desperate attempt for attention.

Pathetic. https://t.co/H05PX1hYV1
But at least CNN helped Trump give Ossoff a new nickname:
REPORTER: "Jon Ossoff said that you'd rather travel with your aide Natalie Harp and build the ballroom than do your job as president..."
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) August 17, 2026
TRUMP: "Who said that?"
REPORTER: "Jon Ossoff."
TRUMP: "You mean Pee-wee Herman? Pee-wee Herman look-alike..." 😂 pic.twitter.com/uZnlbMdLNS
We'll now wait for breathless reports about how Trump attacked the media today.
