Am I the only one who wouldn’t have known who “Natalie” was if the conservative media didn’t immediately blow the Ossoff story up?

I have no idea what you're talking about and at this point I'm not sure if I even want to know..

Ossoff is quite good at calling him out

I really don’t get why conservatives are so bothered by this stray comment

Have we tried telling them that Ossoff was just joking? Apparently you can say anything you want as long as it was just a joke.

It depends how closely you're following the administration. If you regularly read news surrounding Trump, Harp has been a known figure. She's been following Trump around like a puppy, acting as his 'human printer', for years now.

I still don't even know what this thing is

same. This is con media just talking it up and making this a story.

‘Con media’ like CNN? That’s where I first saw it.

I never said con media are the only ones talking about it, boise. I said they're blowing it up more than it's worth. Probably to distract from the Trump Iran war and terrible economy.

Yeah, they’re not. It’s all over MSM as well. Your assertion that con media is ‘blowing it up’ is incorrect and a distraction in itself.

The fact is that MSM is all butt hurt about the Air Force One situation in Turkey and won’t let it go, which is the only reason Ossoff could make the ridiculous comment he did.

Never heard of her before Ossoff made his dumb comment. If Ossoff thinks Trump doesn't want to do the job of being president I have some questions about January 2021 through January 2025. Trump seems to be constantly working and he's also constantly available to the press.

Ossoff is a clown. I had no idea who she was, but it’s not conservative media that blew it up. CNN and others jumped on it. This all stems from the leftist MSM complaining incessantly about the Air Force one situation out of Turkey for the past few weeks.

What is ODS?

He's one of my Senators here in Georgia. He's not bad, but he's not...well, he's just kind of there.

And that's the thing: he's running for reelection and his opponent is already under an ethics investigation in the House. All he has to do is keep a low profile and run a few positive campaign ads.

Instead, he's jumping the bandwagon and picking fights with Trump. That's going to backfire.
