8/24/2026, 6:03:07 AM
Core Event: Deleted Jan. 6 Posts Reveal Zealous Support for Trump
On January 6 2021, Harp’s now-deactivated X account posted more than 150 messages urging “FIGHT FOR TRUMP,” echoing the president’s election-fraud claims, live-tweeting his speech, and labeling the crowd “patriots.” She also shared false claims that Antifa infiltrated the mob and later amplified Trump’s call for rioters to go home.
Background & Context
Harp, a former One America News Network host, began posting about Trump in 2016. Her devotion intensified after the 2020 election; on December 14 2020 she posted “THIS IS A COUP.” She later joined the White House as special assistant and executive assistant to the president, earning a $150,000 salary.
Data & Statistics
- >150 tweets on January 6 2021 (CNN, multiple outlets).
- At least 12 repetitions of “FIGHT FOR TRUMP!” in a single tweet.
- Harp’s account was later suspended; the exact removal date is unknown.
Official Statements & Responses
The administration has not commented on the specific Jan. 6 posts or on who removed the account. Trump’s own statements urging supporters to leave the Capitol were later shared by Harp.
Criticism & Opposition
Former President Barack Obama expressed personal offense at attacks that involve his family, noting that such attacks “cross a line.”
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources differ on whether Harp explicitly called the Capitol rioters “not Trump supporters.” CNN and Attackofthefanboy report she posted that claim; other outlets do not mention it. The timing of the account’s deletion is also unclear—some reports suggest the platform removed it, while others imply Harp may have done so.
