On Friday, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump’s brain trust wants anti-Muslim bigot, former failed congressional candidate, and all-around far-right troll Laura Loomer to join his presidential campaign. The report highlights how Loomer has been in attendance at recent Mar-a-Lago functions, has met with the twice-impeached former president, and has the kind of bigoted, inflammatory style the Donald seems to respond to.
The report is also careful to explain that, while Trump has asked for this, Loomer has not yet been officially hired. Loomer told the Times that she wouldn’t be responding to the report “out of respect for President Trump.” She did want to say more, though:
“The president knows I have always been a Trump loyalist, and that I’m committed to helping him win re-election in 2024. He likes me very much. And it’s a shame that he’s surrounded by some people that run to a publication that is notorious for attacking him in order to try to cut me at the knees instead of being loyal to President Trump and respecting their confidentiality agreements.”
Of course, not everyone is happy with this news. Specifically, Georgia bigot Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded on Twitter, writing, “Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar. She can not be trusted.” But what do you really think, Rep. Greene? Greene added about 500 more words to what she thought. And then Laura Loomer responded. And then even more wretched MAGA right-wingers got into it.
Grab some popcorn!
