Donald Trump's campaign in Las Vegas is set to host an event later tonight. Recently, Trump made a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, attempting to distance himself from controversial statements made by Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theory promoter who has been accompanying him on his recent travels.
Loomer, known for her extreme views and conspiracy theories, has been seen traveling with Trump to various events, including the recent debate and a trip to New York. This association raised concerns, especially after Loomer made a racist post about Kamala Harris just before traveling with Trump.
In response to the growing criticism, Trump clarified that Loomer is not part of his campaign but a private citizen and longtime supporter. He acknowledged disagreeing with some of her statements but emphasized that she, like many of his supporters, is frustrated with attacks from what he described as the radical left Marxists and fascists.
During a recent event in Los Angeles, Trump was questioned about his relationship with Loomer, to which he responded by stating that she is a supporter with strong opinions, distancing himself from her controversial remarks.
Loomer's history includes promoting conspiracy theories such as 9/11 being an inside job and being banned from Twitter for an anti-Muslim post. Despite her claims that the post was not anti-Muslim, her past actions have raised concerns among some Republicans and Trump allies.
There have been internal tensions within Trump's camp regarding Loomer's influence on the promotion of controversial conspiracy theories, particularly targeting Kamala Harris. Some advisers and allies of Trump believe that Loomer's association with him may be contributing to the spread of these unverified claims.
