Bill Kristol: It’s Perfectly Legitimate to Ask What Job Natalie Harp Is Doing to Serve the Public

It's harp on Natalie Harp week, with Sen. John Ossoff kicking things off by telling a crowd that President Donald Trump doesn't want to work; he just wants to "travel with Natalie." Picking up on what Nancy Pelosi called the wrap-up smear, CNN's Erin Burnett tracked down Harp's estranged stoner brother to try to get some dirt on her, while The New York Times' Maggie Haberman literally dehumanized her by calling her a "human binkie." Miami Herald investigative journalist referred to Harp as Trump's "side piece." (There sure seem to be a lot of bitter white women out there jealous of a successful young cancer survivor with an important job in the administration.)

The alleged purpose of The New York Times piece was to answer the question, "What does Harp actually do?" Bill Kristol is paying Harp's whopping $150,000 salary and says we have every right to ask, "what job serving the president she's doing."

People were apparently "whining" about the piece in The Bulwark that Kristol reposted:

"Trump's Human Printer Is Cray-Cray." Let's see if we can guess who wrote that without looking … yep, it's Jonathan V. Last.

We have to talk about the Trump–Natalie Harp thing. I’m sorry. I had a big piece about economics teed up for today. About limbic capitalism and global reserve currency. (I can feel your excitement.)

But people are freaking out over the idea that Trump might be shtupping his human printer and I want to talk about that.

Because if only it were so simple.

Man, I wish Trump were just having an affair with someone forty-five years his junior. That kind of relationship would make sense. It would be gross, but intelligible. The reality of the Trump–Harp . . . thing . . . is so bonkers that I don’t have words for it.

I mean, you guys all saw Fatal Attraction, right?

So let’s go deep on this crazy.

TDS. That's what's so broken inside him. It's terminal.
