💁 Who's that Mysterious Figure Feeding Trump Info?
Meet Laura Loomer, a 31-year-old far-right political activist and web personality. She's become a key figure in the Donald Trump campaign, making a bold presence at public events and, allegedly, shaping Trump's beliefs and tone.
Loomer had tried to join politics, nabbing the Republican nomination to represent Florida's 21st congressional district in the 2020 U.S. House of Representatives elections, only to lose to Lois Franke. Her far-right politics and inflammatory views, such as claiming the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job," have made her a prominent figure in right-wing circles.
On September 10, Loomer hitched a ride on Trump's private jet to Philadelphia for the presidential debate. Some say she shared the baseless "urban legend" about Haitian immigrants feasting on domestic pets in a small Ohio city, which Trump repeated during his debate with Kamala Harris.
Experts believe this stranger-than-fiction moment demonstrated Harris' domination of the debate, propelling her toward victory. While most Americans still don't know much about Harris, her ability to display Trump as a chaotic, angry character helped her appear calm and presidential in comparison.
🌍 The Fine Line Between MAGA and Racist Remarks
Loomer has a long history of controversial remarks about Kamala Harris, including claims that she's not Black. This is something that even Trump himself has faced criticism for. Tensions escalated when Loomer commented on Twitter: "If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center...."
Marjorie Taylor Greene, another prominent Republican, criticized Loomer's statement as appallingly racist and unbecoming of the GOP or Trump supporters. It's a fascinating turn of events when you find yourself agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene!
