Rep. Mike Collins accused Sen. Jon Ossoff of making a sexist remark about White House aide Natalie Harp. Ossoff said he was criticizing how Trump’s senior aides advise him; Collins said Ossoff owed Harp and the public an apology.
At an Atlanta campaign rally, Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump, referring to his ballroom plans and travel with White House aide Natalie Harp. Ossoff later said he had heard Harp described as Trump’s “security blanket” and that the criticism applied to senior aides more broadly. Collins called Ossoff’s remarks sexist and misogynistic and said he should apologize to Harp and the public.
Collins also argued that Ossoff’s comments reflected a broader problem in how he views women, and criticized his positions on transgender participation in girls’ sports and restroom access. The article says a July AARP poll had Ossoff ahead by nine points; Collins said the polls were tightening. Fox News Digital said it sought comment from Ossoff’s campaign.
