10 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Sen. Jon Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump in remarks about aide Natalie Harp, drawing a public response and further scrutiny of the exchange. Left-leaning outlets present Ossoff’s criticism as effective, portraying the response as defensive and emphasizing Harp’s access to Trump. Center outlets mostly recount the remarks and reactions, including Ossoff’s defense and a White House response. Right-leaning outlets cast the remarks as an unfair attack on Harp and defend Trump and his aide.
