Left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch had Kara Swisher cracking up at her wild theory about the identity of the Natalie Harp leaker.
Harp, the executive ***** istant to President Donald Trump, was thrust into the forefront of national discussion after she was mentioned in a rally speech by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA). Since then, her close relationship to Trump — which critics have speculated is far more than professional — has been the subject of intense scrutiny.
During a recent episode of Swisher's podcast Pivot, Welch said she didn't understand the "cultish worship" of Trump and predicted there would be "infighting" and "cannibalism" within the MAGA base. She then cited the Harp leaks as proof of this.
"I think, you know, whoever is leaking all of these crazy letters from Natalie Harp, the 'bunny boiler,' Welch said. "You know that it's somebody in there that's trying to sabotage the bunny boiler. So, I think it's the most toxic work environment."
Swisher then asked Welch who she believed the leaker was, and burst into laughter at her answer.

Rosie O'Donnell had a simple answer for Donald Trump after the White House attacked her: look in the mirror. The comedian turned the president's insult back on him with a pointed social media post, keeping their long-running feud firmly in the spotlight.
Rosie O'Donnell shared a photo of Trump at his Florida golf resort from 2024 alongside the caption, "This is the guy calling me a slob #mirrormirror ." The picture had previously attracted attention online because of Trump's unusually raised trousers and flattened hair beneath his hat.
The exchange followed O'Donnell's stint as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she had mocked Trump's close relationship with Natalie Harp, his 35-year-old special and executive **** istant. O'Donnell joked that Harp "tucks him in" at night, escalating the comedy after Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff questioned whether Trump would rather travel with Harp than focus on his presidential duties.
The White House did not let the joke slide. Its response called O'Donnell a "nasty woman" and "a total slob," while also accusing her of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome." O'Donnell's latest post offered a quick counterpunch without needing much explanation.
Their rivalry stretches back nearly two decades. O'Donnell first clashed publicly with Trump during her time on The View in 2006, and the two have continued trading insults ever since. She later moved to Ireland following Trump's 2024 reelection, although the president has continued to mention her publicly.

Shortly after announcing his intention to run for U.S. Senate, then-candidate Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., said he would support reparations legislation — government-led efforts to make up for the social harms of slavery and other injustices against Black Americans.
In a 2019 radio interview, Ossoff said it was only a question of how much the government was obligated to give.
"There is a debt unpaid. I think it is a very, very difficult question: how to pay it," Ossoff told a local radio host.
"But see, that should be the question — not if it should be paid," the host noted.

Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins ended a press conference Thursday after repeatedly declining to answer questions about his relationship with a son-in-law who promoted White nationalist ideology and circulated antisemitic content online, as first revealed by CNN's KFile.
Collins, a two-term congressman from Georgia, was appearing at Monroe County Hospital to outline his health care priorities.
But reporters pressed him to address online statements from his son-in-law, David Alan Scheer II, and whether Scheer had done business or campaign work for him. Collins said the matter had been "fully addressed" and pivoted to attacking Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
"You know, we've fully addressed that," Collins said. "But Jon Ossoff refuses to disavow these democrat socialist movements in our country."

ATLANTA (AP) — Nearly a decade ago, Jon Ossoff was a 30-year-old Democratic congressional candidate promising Georgia suburban voters he would "cut wasteful spending" and make "both parties in Washington" be "accountable to you." His Republican opponent even complained that Ossoff "talks like a Republican."
Nobody would make that mistake today. After losing that race in 2017 and narrowly winning a U.S. Senate seat during a runoff in 2021, Ossoff is running for reelection with a full-throated broadside on President Donald Trump as a "national disgrace" leading a "Mar-a-Lago mafia" and "the most corrupt administration of all time."
The 39-year-old senator has always been a vessel for Trump opposition, no matter his message on the campaign trail. But not until now has Ossoff openly embraced the role. His approach is being noticed across the Democratic spectrum, from activists hungry for the right message in the 2026 midterms to those pining for viable presidential candidates in 2028.
This week, as Trump renewed his fixation on false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election that brought Ossoff to Washington, the senator never missed an opportunity to denounce the "world's most famous sore loser."
"The senator is definitely having a moment, and these breakout moments can certainly become a launching pad for something bigger," said Lis Smith, a Democratic strategist who helped Pete **** igieg go from being an unknown Indiana mayor to a presidential contender in 2020. She said Ossoff's approach — tying Trump's personal financial gain to his performance on the economy — is "one that more Democrats should adopt."

WOODSTOCK, Ga. (AP) — In the closing stretch of Georgia's Republican U.S. Senate runoff, Rep. Mike Collins celebrated his 11th-hour endorsement from Donald Trump on Sunday and dismissed any ideas that the Republican president's stamp of approval is a risky bet in a potential showdown with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in November.
Trump disclosed his choice of Collins over former football coach Derek Dooley in a middle-of-the-night social media post that praised the second-term congressman for his loyalty.
"I've always said that President Trump has this just impeccable ability to put his thumb on the scale at the right time," Collins said at a campaign stop Sunday in the northern Atlanta exurbs.
The Republican candidates are competing Tuesday for the chance to unseat Ossoff in one of the most closely watched campaigns in the November midterm elections. Dooley, a political newcomer, is backed by outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp, who has clashed with Trump in the past.
Collins called it "encouraging" to have the president's approval. Looking past Dooley to the potential matchup with Ossoff, the congressman said he planned to invited Trump to Georgia, despite the president's sagging approval ratings.

Ossoff criticizes Trump on health care, Iran, 'corruption' in Augusta

Lowering health care premiums and returning consumers to financial affordability mean electing leaders instead of rulers, the state's senior U.S. senator said during a campaign swing through Augusta on Saturday.
With public criticism mounting against the Trump administration's handling of the economy, rising health care premiums and a war with Iran, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff mounted an offensive to urge voters to fight for the ways of life he said they deserve.
