Right-wing activist and influencer Laura Loomer has joined Republican nominee Donald Trump in New York and Pennsylvania as he commemorated the anniversary of the attacks. Last year, Loomer shared an unfounded conspiracy theory that 9/11 was an “inside job.
Laura Loomer watches as Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump visits the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Company in Shanksville, Pa., Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024. Laura Loomer arrives with Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump for a visit to the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Company in Shanksville, Pa., Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024.
Loomer said in a text message to The Associated Press that she doesn’t work for the Trump campaign and that she was “invited as a guest.” She did not respond to questions about her past statements about 9/11. The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment on Loomer’s inclusion in the commemorative events.
She frequently makes anti-Islam and anti-immigrant posts on social media and has been targeting Trump’s Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, with vile racist and sexist attacks. Last year, she shared a video on X that said “9/11 was an Inside Job!” and claimed it was somehow related to then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s announcing $2.3 trillion in “lost” government funds on Sept. 10, 2001., which were about a challenge in tracking funds due to outdated technology.
