So embarrassing. 🤦🏻‍♀️ “ The White House is defending its new assistant press secretary, who posed with a rifle in a “F* Joe Biden” shirt.** Beni Rae Harmony, 24, joined the press office days after covering Trump as a correspondent for Real America’s Voice, a far-right outlet launched as a platform for Steve Bannon, and previously worked for Rep. Paul Gosar and former Rep. Matt Gaetz. The 2021 photo showed her and her uncle holding rifles in matching anti-Biden shirts, and she appeared to confirm its authenticity at the time. A White House spokesperson praised her as “a trusted voice for the MAGA movement as a White House correspondent.” AP photos from a recent Air Force One press gaggle appeared to show her name atop papers in Trump’s hand as she asked him friendly questions, suggesting he may have been holding her résumé. Her hiring comes as Trump has tried to ban CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House, while his aides hand-pick outlets, often friendly ones, to question him.” From Aaron Parnas newsletter
