Laura Loomer is a right wing influencer who has been proudly called “The Most Banned Person on Social Media”. She has been banned from every platform at one time or another, mostly for Xenophobic, Islamophobic or racist rants. She is a 9/11 conspiracy theorist who argues this was an “inside job”.
According to anonymous sources on the Trump campaign, Loomer reportedly influenced Trump to publicly endorse various false conspiracy theories, including the claim that Kamala Harris hid her black heritage and the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating other people’s household pets in Ohio. Loomer also posted a tweet referencing stereotypes of Indians, saying that if Harris, who is half-Indian, were elected President “the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center.” Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right member of the United States House of Representatives, condemned this remark as “appalling and extremely racist.”

In return, Loomer said of Marjorie Greene that she was a poor excuse for a Christian due to her affair with a workout buddy that led to her divorce. And that MTG was anti-semitic. (Loomer is Jewish). Senator Graham also complained about her and she replied that he should finally come out of the closet.
Trump is now taking her everywhere. She was an advisor for the debate along with Matt Gaetz and sleeps overnight at Mar A Lago. His wife is currently living in NYC with their son while he attends college. She also accompanied him to the 9/11 memorial the other day, despite being a denier.
She is a lot of trouble, I think. And I think Trump is lonely enough to let her influence him because she is all in on Trump. But she is crazy as a bag of feral cats.
Just this morning (CA time), Trump took some questions at his golf club. One asked what Loomer was doing flying around with him, and he said she’s a supporter and has said very good things about his campaign, and has very strong views. He wondered out loud why anyone would ask such a thing, doesn’t know what the problem is.
She’s a social media loon. We’re hearing about her now because Trump is taking her everywhere, and there is speculation that he is following her advice.
She is a big fan of White Nationalism and Nick Fuentes, for example. Oh, she accused DeSantis’ wife of faking breast cancer so that her husband would be more sympathetic. She also said that the US government caused a blizzard in Iowa during the GOP primaries this year so that Haley would improve her chances over Trump. Oh! And she told Kelley Ann Conaway’s teenage daughter that she should hang herself because she didn’t support Trump.
