Laura Loomer Glued to Trump: His Team Now Made Up of Crooks; Liars; Cons & No-Accounts

Trump's new “flame” thrower or something else

Excellent rundown on Laura Loomer – which many are now calling “Loomer Tunes” and that’s not an insult to Walt Disney or his comic title of our favorite cartoon characters either. 

She is in a word: A stark-raving lunatic, pure and simple, period.

The article is from The NY TIMES with this headline: (Note: I chose the below parts from the main article and formatted them to fit the blog – check out the main article above in full):

“Who Is Laura Loomer, the Far-Right Activist Who Traveled With Trump?”

What Trump said about Loomer’s lies about  Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH as he defended her Loomer at a news conference on Friday, calling her one of his supporters and then saying to reporters: “I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She’s a free spirit.”

When asked again in more detail about the conspiracy theories she had spread and her recent racist remarks (eating pets), he said that he was unaware of them, then adding: “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.” (More also on the Loomer bomb threat Q&A to Trump and his mostly non-response).

A few hours later, Trump wrote on his TRUTH SOCIAL site: “I disagree with the statements she made but, like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me.”

Note: Trump did not specify which statements he was objecting to nor the direct question he was asked.

Whom else has Loomer associated with in Trump world and how did she get started? Loomer was still a senior at Barry University near Miami when she made an undercover video, secretly filming university officials discussing her proposal to create a club for students who support the Islamic State, or ISIS. That footage then was picked up by Project Veritas and broadcast widely.  

Project Veritas is an American far-right group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. 

Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated both  disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and their operations.

Targets of Project Veritas have included: Planned Parenthood; Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN); NPR: CNN; and The Washington Post.

For example, in 2009, Project Veritas associates published misleading videos that depicted ACORN employees providing advice on concealing illegal activity, causing ACORN to shut down after losing funding.

ACORN was cleared of all wrongdoing by the CA AG in 2010, and their associates paid a total of $150,000 settlements to one CORN employee who sued for defamation. 

After all that made news, Loomer worked with O’Keefe at Project Veritas for several years. During her time at Project Veritas, she worked with Jack Posobiec, another conservative influencer and conspiracy theorist who now has a podcast and a huge following on social media. 

Posobiec then joined a war room made of influencers serving as an online rapid response team for Trump during the Harris debate.

FYI: Among Loomer’s endorsers when she ran for Congress twice was Roger Stone, the longtime political operative she calls her mentor. 

Stone of course, is historically known for his “dirty tricks” dating back to the Richard Nixon era. Stone has remained close to Trump, who as president pardoned him after he was convicted on seven felony counts in 2019.

My 2 Cents: It is obvious that Loomer by her connections and actions over the years and by her wild-ass statements lately is that she learned well from a lot scummy people like those named above.

Now, she’s stuck to and on the #1 scumbag of all time in our political history: Donald J. Trump (that I posted about here).

So, she is sticking with Trump and close by him hoping that if he wins, she wins, and she probably wants a high level  position in his White House (maybe even as Trump’s White House press secretary!!!! Yikes…).

Stay tuned on all that. It’s gonna be a barn burner as they say. 

And once again, please help get out the vote and stop this madness spewing from Trump and his insane team like now.

Thanks for stopping by.
