Far-left attack backfires spectacularly as radical online personality whines after attacking female Trump aide

A self-styled leftist journalist who chronicles President Donald Trump's moves online is crying foul after he made another attack on a young female Trump staffer, part of a pattern he's been engaged in for weeks.

"another [sic] blonde Trump flunkie starts literally shoving photographers away from Trump," Aaron Rupar posted on his X account on Sunday afternoon, attaching a clip from C-SPAN showing Trump greeting family members next to Air Force 1 as he prepared to board the plane leaving Ireland.

The clip shows Ellie Acra, a White House press wrangler, sternly directing the media to exit the area underneath the wing of the plane, using the often-employed phrase: "Thank you, press."

White House press wranglers are the grunt of the press office, responsible for herding the media to and from designated areas where they are covering the president. The wranglers are key members in Republican and Democrat administrations alike in keeping the president on schedule.

The clip and Rupar's commentary on it quickly went viral as users, including the White House, came out en masse to defend the young White House staffer and rail against the left-wing personality.

The White House's rapid response X account responded to Rupar, who in recent weeks has repeatedly tracked and commented on the movements of embattled White House aide

"This is a press wrangler doing her job — and doing it well. Aaron, meanwhile, is gutter trash (in his 40s) who spends his days hiding behind his keyboard and making disturbing comments about women doing their jobs. Truly a sick freak!" the White House account

said

Following that response, Rupar whined online and suggested that the White House was inciting harassment and threats against him.

"For the second straight day, the White House's taxpayer-funded incitement account is attacking me and oddly mentioning I'm in my 40s (which I know makes me way too old for the president) When they do this it results in a flood of harassing and threatening messages, which of course is the point," he said.
