Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi declared a miracle this week as a whole party of bitter, pro-male malcontents suddenly discovered sexism and chauvinism in the wake of recent attacks on President Donald Trump\u2019s embattled \u201chuman binkie\u201d and \u201cdiaper nurse\u201d Natalie Harp.<\/p>\n

\u201cJon Ossoff is quite the miracle worker,\u201d said Mahdawi, a weekly columnist and creator of the satirical website Rent-a-Minority. \u201cPerhaps the Democratic senator can\u2019t turn water into wine, but he has managed to turn whining conservatives into impassioned feminists.\u201d <\/p>\n

Harp got thrust into the spotlight when it was reported that the 35-year-old was one of a handful of people Trump that took a different plane via a catering truck and left reporters and other staffers in a \u201cbait plane\u201d to draw Iranian fire. Then intrigue took off when it was acknowledged that Melania Trump had vanished from the public for weeks at the time. Mahdawi noted that the First Lady \u201cmagically reappeared on Thursday,\u201d a few days after the Georgia senator mocked Harp\u2019s fawning relationship with the president.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, said Mahdawi, \u201cit\u2019s hilarious to watch the right discover misogyny and decry the remarks as sexist. Suddenly, everyone from Fox News to prominent conservatives are very worried about a professional woman not being taken seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a philanderer who took a young staffer as his third wife after an affair, said on Twitter\/X that Harp\u2019s critics owe her an apology. \u201cIf a conservative Republican had attacked a liberal Democrat working professional woman [like] \u2026 Natalie Harp there would be cries to kick them off the ticket and reject this kind of misogynistic language diminishing and smearing someone who is simply doing their job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings, called comments against Harp \u201cso vile against a young Republican woman working in politics that every woman in this country, no matter your ideology, ought to listen carefully and never forget it,\u201d Jennings said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan McCain also clutched her pearls\u201d at the comments, said Mahdawi. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe egregious sexist attacks on Natalie Harp are absolutely insane \u2013 and they\u2019re coming from prestigious journalists,\u201d McCain posted on X. \u201cWhat is wrong with everyone?! Every president has close aides and sometimes they are females. Like what year is this?!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Harp\u2019s little love notes that \u201cYou are all that matters to me,\u201d and \u201cI want to bring you joy, to feel like we can get through a day without ever having to talk \u2018work\u2019\u201d are \u201cdeeply weird things to say to your boss,\u201d said Mahdawi. <\/p>\n

Harp may claim to be a cancer survivor who believes Trump saved her life by signing legislation that gave her access to experimental bone cancer treatment, but while that might make her obsession with Trump more understandable, it \u201cdoes not make her conduct any more professional,\u201d said Mahdawi.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo spare me all the lectures from the right about sexism, please. If you\u2019re worried about how women in politics are treated, you should probably focus your attention on the adjudicated sexual abuser who is president,\u201d said Mahdawi, citing Trump\u2019s latest \u201cobject of ire,\u201d CNN reporter Kristen Holmes, who asked the president about Harp\u2019s relationship and got called a \u201cloud boisterous person\u201d by the president \u2014 who then instructed her to be \u201cquiet.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the White House\u2019s social media account posted about Holmes multiple times,\u201d said Mahdawi. \u201cIn one post they wrote: \u2018Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
