Oh, Brother!: CNN’s Erin Burnett Questions Sibling of Natalie Harp to Prolong Scandal That Never Was

Georgia Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff recently implied that something inappropriate was happening between President Donald Trump and his political aide Natalie Harp. Legacy media outlets dutifully picked up the smear, pushing a salacious rumor with no evidence of wrongdoing to cite. There was no there there. But CNN would not be deterred.

On Tuesday night, CNN’s Erin Burnett brought on Harp’s brother in hopes of getting any usable details or soundbites. (WATCH)

CNN of course is now trying to make Natalie Harp a story they can use to bash Trump.

They've brought her brother in to help do it.

Erin Burnett is trying her best to get usable soundbites out of him, but he's spaced out and she's having some trouble. pic.twitter.com/8cfigCPa3r

My sister and I are polar political opposites. I would rather die than do something like this

Death is always preferable to going on CNN.

Posters laugh at Burnett for thinking that getting Harp’s brother to appear on her show is some huge get.

Interviewing the stoner brother who called his own sister “good looking” wasn’t the power move Erin thought it would be.

I listened to this on the radio. I guarantee this guy ate a bag of shrooms about 40 minutes before airtime.

I don’t think he spaced out. I just think he wasn’t going to say anything bad about his sister even though she kept fishing for it. Natalie is Trump’s social media person. He keeps long hours. It’s the job she signed up for which she appreciates & enjoys. The “reporter” suxs.

Burnett and CNN are just desperate to make a story out of nothing.

CNN looks like it’s trying to pin a Monica Lewinsky-like scandal on Trump.

This story was DOA. Only CNN is trying to keep it going. Weird comment by @ossoff full of middle-school-esque innuendo. No one is paying attention, *except* CNN. Expect more of this, sadly.

How low can they go? Not a good look at all. No evidence of her doing what Ossoff implied and the leftist in the media can’t help themselves, got to trash her. They are trash!

Legacy media aspires to one day rise to the level of trash.

In the meantime, posters are disgusted with CNN.

They're despicable.

Taking their narrative cues from Democrat campaign one liners.

"News" network

Absolutely. I just think of them as an arm of the DNC.

They’re more than just the arm.
