Fox News host Jesse Watters defended Jon Ossoff’s jabs about President Donald Trump’s relationship with his 35-year-old aide Natalie Harp, saying that Trump himself has said ‘sleazier’ things.
During a Sunday rally in Atlanta, Jon Ossoff, a Democratic Georgia Senator, criticized Trump, saying he’d rather, “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar,” than serve as president.
“To suggest that Trump surrounds himself with attractive women, yeah, I think he’s done that his whole life,” Watters said. “I don’t think he’s very upset about the comment.”
Watters even admitted he’s defended Trump’s sleazy comments.
“Am I fazed by this comment? No,” the host continued. “Has Trump said so much worse? So much more sleazy things against other people? Yes. Have I defended those things? Absolutely. So I’m not going to pretend I’m all hot and bothered about it, and the president doesn’t care.”

At the same rally, Ossoff, 39, told the audience that Trump “sleeps through his meetings,” plays golf, trades stocks, and “drains our munitions and oil reserves” on an unnecessary war.

CNN conservative political commentator and White House press secretary frontrunner Scott Jennings wrote: “Donald Trump has done more to elevate women in politics than any other President. Jon Ossoff is a despicable coward who thinks he can get ahead by smearing a cancer survivor and loyal public servant, Natalie Harp.”

Harp and Trump’s seemingly inseparable relationship has drawn bipartisan attention. Harp is nicknamed the “human printer” because she carries around a portable printer, so Trump can read news stories and Truth Social drafts. She writes fawning letters to her boss and even her brother has called Harp’s obsession with Trump “unhealthy”.
When asked about his comments on MS Now on Monday, Ossoff did not name Harp but said when things get hard, Trump, “retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he’s doing a great job, to help him while he designs his new ballroom and he adorns the Oval Office in gold....”
