Who is Laura Loomer? Republicans fear activist’s influence growing on Trump
By Ross O'Keefe
September 11, 2024 11:39 pmLaura Loomer, a self-labeled “investigative journalist,” has been repeatedly sighted around former President Donald Trump in recent days.
Loomer was seen deboarding his plane on the day of the presidential debate, and she was spotted around him throughout Wednesday as Trump joined with others on the 9/11 day of remembrance. Some Republicans are concerned.
Loomer called the late-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee a “ghetto b****,” said last year that 9/11 was an “inside job,” and just this week claimed that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November, the White House “will smell like curry.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an ardent defender of Trump, commented on Loomer’s “racist” Harris commentary, which Loomer later declared was a joke.
“This is appalling and extremely racist,” the congresswoman said. “It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever. Laura Loomer should take this down.”
