Former President Trump was asked about his association with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. Trump called her a 'free spirit' and a supporter of his campaign.
Donald Trump on Friday defended Laura Loomer after some of the former president's closest allies this week raised concerns about his relationship with the far-right activist. “Laura has 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,” Trump told reporters at a press conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
Loomer's relationship with Trump came under particular scrutiny after the former president mentioned a conspiracy theory about immigrants eating pets during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. Loomer did not immediately return a request for comment about Trump's remark Friday. Representatives for the Trump and Harris campaigns also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
