Republicans are melting down over stories about Trump aide
Natalie Harp, The White House attacked a CNN reporter for asking
about a comment by Jon Ossoff, The right wing media piled on
Ossoff although their outrage was manufactured, The Harp business
did distract from news about Trump’s apparent stock manipulation
and Trump’s ballroom - which is vastly unpopular, Trump is
downplaying the poor conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln, and
his administration’s flailing in Iran, ABC and the Walt Disney
Company have launched a federal lawsuit against the FCC for
violation of free speech rights, The national debt passed $40
million, a record, much sooner than expected, The Harp story has
brought attention to Trump’s need for a buffer between himself
and the outside world, and Republicans don’t seem able to change
the narrative and use it to attack Ossoff.
