Former President Donald Trump defended his relationship with controversial far-right activist Laura Loomer, despite widespread criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over her inflammatory remarks and promotion of baseless conspiracy theories.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle blasted Loomer this week after she attended the debate and a Sept. 11 memorial event with Trump .
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle blasted Loomer, who repeatedly appeared alongside Trump this week — including at a Sept. 11 memorial event — as she promoted baseless and inflammatory remarks about immigrants on her social media accounts. Loomer lashed out at Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in response to their criticisms.
Loomer's relationship with Trump came under particular scrutiny after the former president mentioned a conspiracy theory about immigrants eating pets during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. In another post, Loomer alleged that the"White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center" if Harris wins the presidential election.
