Donald Trump Confronted on Relationship with Laura Loomer

Donald Trump has been confronted about his relationship with controversial activist Laura Loomer.

The anger came after Loomer was pictured with Trump at two 9/11 memorial events on Wednesday after she posted a racially charged diatribe aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris on X, formerly Twitter.

Trump, the Republican nominee for the White House, was asked about his relationship with Loomer by the press while he was at Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on Friday.

“What value do you feel that Laura Loomer brings to you and has nobody told you about conspiracy theories that she has promoted?” the former president was asked by a reporter at the scene.

“I don’t know that much about it, no,” Trump said in regards to the conspiracy theories portion of the question. I know she’s a big fan of the campaign, but I really don’t know. She brings a spirit to us that a lot of people have. We have very spirited people. And in all fairness to her, she hates seeing what’s happened to the country, I guess. So do I. It’s very sad.”

He went on to say, “Laura has been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters, and she’s been a supporter of mine. She speaks very positively of the campaign. Laura has to say what she wants. She’s a she’s a free spirit.”
