Trump team slams ‘disgusting and inhumane’ question from ‘disgraceful’ CNN reporter

The president’s online rapid response team absolutely lambasted a CNN reporter who insinuated that President Donald Trump was having a romantic relationship with a younger staffer.

Senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes asked the president about the suggestion made by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) on Monday.

‘These scumbags are the lowest of the low.’

“Jon Ossoff said you’d rather travel with your aide Natalie Harp than build the ballroom and do your job as president; what is your response?” Holmes asked.

“You mean Pee-wee Herman? Pee-wee Herman look-alike?” he responded about Ossoff.

“No, I would much rather do other things,” Trump added. “We’re building a great facility here. We’re fixing a White House that hasn’t been taken care of.”

The Trump team responded more fully on social media to Holmes.

“[Kristen Holmes] is a disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession. @POTUS hosts a hero lifeguard in the Oval Office and she uses it as an opportunity to take a cheap shot about one of President Trump’s staffers. These scumbags are the lowest of the low,” read the message.”

40 minutes later, the team added a second insult.

“Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question,” the statement read. “They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling.”

Alayna Treene, a fellow White House correspondent for CNN, defended her colleague.

“What a horrible to thing to say. Kristen is an incredible reporter, person and, above all, mother. I don’t understand such a reaction to a journalist asking the president for his response to something a Democratic senator has leveled against him,” she wrote.

Harp is the president’s personal assistant.

Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications, also jumped into the fray.

“Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics,” he posted on social media. “Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he’s a miserable person who hates this country. It’s because he’s a radical, extremist Dumocrat.”

CNN released a statement defending Holmes.

“Kristen Holmes is one of the most respected and accomplished journalists covering the White House. This afternoon, she did her job and asked the president of the United States a tough, relevant, and newsworthy question on behalf of the American people,” read the CNN statement.

“Public officials are free to challenge reporting they disagree with, but personal attacks on journalists for asking questions are beneath the office and inconsistent with the principles of a free press,” the channel added. “We stand firmly behind Kristen and reject these attacks in the strongest possible terms.”

Company pushing ‘post-binary’ athletes gets support from LA Chargers coaches at pro-women’s sports event

The coaches for the Los Angeles Chargers football team showed their support for women’s sports — at an event with a media company that promotes nonbinary athletes.

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh joined in with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and their defensive coordinator to wear shirts reading, “EVERYONE WATCHES WOMEN’S SPORTS,” photos posted to the team’s social media account showed.

‘Performative and absolutely irrelevant to Chargers football, isn’t it?’

The images came from the team’s Women in Sports Day event on Sunday at training camp. The shirts are a promotion for Nike and Togethxr, an organization founded by four female sports stars.

Togethxr chief content officer Jessica Robertson said in 2021 that the group promotes and supports nonbinary athletes.

“We … recognize that we are in a world without binary,” Robertson said. “We wanted to make sure that this felt inclusive, so X is a nod to being in a postbinary world and celebrating that.”

The group has a page at its website dedicated to LGBTQIA+ athletes.

Many sports fans mocked the team and called them out for the “performative” gesture.

“If it was true you wouldnt have to put it on a f**king T-shirt,” read one response.

“Performative and absolutely irrelevant to Chargers football, isn’t it?” said one detractor.

“Literally no one I know watches women’s sports. The numbers themselves objectively tell you that viewership is *incredibly* low compared to men’s sports. What motivated these otherwise intelligent guys to wake up in the morning and be like ‘I want my shirt to lie today’?” replied another.

“This is obnoxiously performative and unnecessary lol,” said another critic.

“Pandering. Let me know exactly what women’s sports you watched and when. We don’t need this. Just be normal,” read another response.

It was unclear whether the coaches knew they were promoting women’s sports through a company that supports a “post-binary” world, though the team held a similar event with Togethxr in 2025.

California Democrat probed over alleged ‘inappropriate sexual conduct’ with a staffer

The House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into allegations that a congressman from California had “inappropriate sexual conduct” with a House staffer.

Democrat Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California had previously admitted that he had an extramarital affair but had also denied violating the rules of the U.S. House.

‘I take full responsibility and have committed myself to working through the pain privately with my wife and family.’

Gomez made the admission after a CNN report unearthed the investigation into allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship.

“Years ago, I made personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family. Although my actions were consensual in nature and haven’t violated the law or House ethics rules, that doesn’t diminish the impact that these mistakes have made on those I care about the most,” Gomez said at the time.

“I take full responsibility and have committed myself to working through the pain privately with my wife and family,” he added. “I sought professional assistance to help re-center and heal the relationships that mean everything to me and move forward with the honesty, transparency, and respect that everyone deserves from the people they love. I continue to do this work.”

The ethics panel said Monday that members of Congress are restricted from having sexual relations with House staffers.

Ironically, Gomez was one of the Democrats who called for the resignation of Eric Swalwell after he was also accused of inappropriate sexual behavior.

“My involvement in any campaign begins and ends with trust,” he said at the time. “I cannot in good conscience remain in any role with this campaign, and I am stepping down from it effective immediately.”

The Democrat has represented California’s 34th Congressional District since 2017.

Gomez is still accepting applications for internships at the website for his office.
