Former president Donald Trump finally reacted to the ongoing
Laura Loomer
controversy that became the national headline after MAGA veterans distanced from the far right-wing provocateur while Laura was seen hanging out with Donald Trump. Laura called Kamala Harris 'evil bimbo' and said the White House will smell of curry if Kamala Harris wins the election. The racist slur did not get endorsement from the GOP veterans but Laura Loomer fired back and said she will not apologize for thinking that Kamala Harris is an incompetent DEI hire.
She said Republicans who are apologizing to Kamala Harris for what she said are weak.
Amid the controversy, a photo of Laura with Donald Trump went viral and social media users questioned the relationship between 31-year-old Laura and 78-year-old Donald Trump.
Trump finally put an end to all speculations and used two words to describe Laura Loomer. Free spirit -- Donald Trump described the rabble-rouser. “Laura’s been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters, and she’s been a supporter of mine. She speaks very positively of the campaign. I’m not sure why you asked that question, but Laura is a supporter. I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She’s a free spirit,” Trump said at a news conference in Southern California.
“Look, I can’t tell Laura what to do. Laura’s a supporter. I have a lot of supporters.”
Laura Loomer was there with Donald Trump when he attended some events to mark the 9/11 anniversary. Her proximity with Donald Trump campaign rattled old-times as they said they have been trying to keep such conspiracy theorists away from Trump. It has been speculated that Trump referred to the Haitian conspiracy theory at the debate stage because he was influenced by Laura.
Is Trump aware of Laura Loomer's racist attack on Kamala Harris?
Donald Trump said he heard about it for the first time and he thinks Laura is just a person with strong opinions. “She’s a strong person. She’s got strong opinions, and I don’t know what she said, but that’s not up to me. She’s a supporter,” Trump said.
“I do know that she may have said something based on what you’re telling me, but I don’t know what she said, but I’ll go take a look and I’ll put out a statement later on.”
Why Laura Loomer is on Trump's plane
Donald Trump was asked why he took along Laura Loomer on his plane to the Philadelphia debate while there were some only some close advisers and family members. Trump downplayed it and said, "A lot of people do (travel with him). It's a very big plane."
