The White House has defended its newly hired press aide, Beni Rae Harmony, after a 2021 holiday photograph resurfaced showing her wearing a shirt bearing an expletive aimed at then-President Joe Biden and holding a rifle, according to The Guardian.
The White House described the 24-year-old as a trusted voice for the MAGA movement in her new role as assistant press secretary, pushing back against criticism of the resurfaced image.
Harmony revealed on Friday that she was joining the administration just days after covering Donald Trump as a correspondent for Real America's Voice, a partisan outlet originally created as a podcast platform for former presidential adviser Steve Bannon. Her rapid move from covering the administration to working for it has drawn scrutiny from critics of the hire.
