On 6/1/2021, as US President Donald Trump addressed thousands of supporters near the White House, alleging the presidential election was "stolen" and urging them to "march to the Capitol", Natalie Harp, then a 29-year-old anchor for One America News Network, posted over 150 times on Twitter (now X), imploring Republicans to "fight for Trump".

Harp identified herself on Twitter as a member of President Trump's advisory board, sharing statements from his family members, which declared, "this movement will never die!" and "this fight has just begun".

She referred to the supporters gathered near the White House, listening to Trump's speech, as "patriots". Harp also called on Republican members of Congress to demonstrate "a fraction of the courage and passion" of the crowd by refusing to certify Joe Biden's victory.

"Today, let's stop the election theft", she wrote.

Harp also reposted a call from Rudy Giuliani, a Trump ally, stating, "fight like in a battle!". However, Giuliani's lawyer later asserted that this was mere hyperbole, not an incitement to violence.

When Trump began his speech, Harp posted "fight for Trump" 12 times in one article, accompanied by the declaration, "Washington is Trump's territory today!". She consistently updated the President's speech, including the quote, "we will never give up. We will never concede defeat!".

After Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, Harp reposted articles claiming that the rioters were "not Trump supporters" and disseminated information suggesting that members of the anti-fascist group Antifa had infiltrated the crowd.

Later, Harp shared Trump's plea, urging the rioters to go home.

Hours after the riot forced Congress to halt the counting of electoral votes, Harp continued to repost Giuliani's statement, in which he said the disruption had created "additional options" and Trump's legal team was seeking to "capitalize on those options".

After the House of Representatives rejected Republican lawmakers' objections to Arizona's electoral vote count, Harp continued to post, "America may no longer be America. But God is still God. Don't stop believing!".

Harp specifically named lawmakers who continued to object to the election results, thanking Representative Jody Hice for being "a man of his word and loyal to the Constitution", and commending Marjorie Taylor Greene for her "courage".

She also praised six senators who voted against certification, including Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Cindy Hyde-Smith, John Kennedy, Roger Marshall, and Tommy Tuberville, as "patriots" who "did not waver in the fight for our beloved country and President Trump".

The next day, when Trump publicly acknowledged the incoming administration, Harp shared his message that "our magnificent journey is just beginning". 14 minutes later, she reaffirmed her loyalty with the statement, "we love you, President Donald Trump".

According to CNN, Harp's unconditional support for Trump's election fraud allegations did not begin solely on 6/1/2021. In the weeks leading up to the Capitol riot, she wrote on Twitter, "we will never give up, because truth is on our side. 6/1 is coming!".

"We love you! We love you! We love you! x71 million times", Harp posted a few days after the presidential election results. On 14/12/2020, she also denounced Biden's victory, calling it a "coup".

Harp's X account was later suspended. It remains unclear whether she or the platform deleted the posts from that day.

After Trump's defeat, Harp frequently reiterated his view that the election "was stolen" while hosting programs on One America News Network. This advocacy helped Harp get recruited to Trump's staff in 2022, joining his re-election campaign a year later.

During Trump's second term, Harp became a close aide at the White House. White House officials stated that since becoming an aide, Harp has not taken a single day off and always maintained contact with the President.

"President Trump appreciates her attention, as well as her unwavering dedication and absolute loyalty. She never doubts or questions his decisions", a White House advisor said.

"You will all leave to make money. But she will never abandon me", Trump once told advisors about Harp.

The Daily Beast last week also published two letters reportedly sent by her to President Trump, expressing absolute loyalty to him.

"She has proven herself an absolutely loyal advisor and staffer, always praising him. Trump likes that", commented David B. Cohen, a political science professor at the University of Akron, specializing in US presidencies.
