Controversial far-right figure Laura Loomer accompanied former President Donald Trump on several events this week, sparking criticism and condemnation from Republicans. Despite distancing himself from her controversial statements, Trump referred to Loomer as a 'supporter' and 'free spirit'. Senator Thom Tillis labeled Loomer a 'crazy conspiracy theorist' harming Trump's campaign.
Kelsey Walsh, Soo Rin Kim and Lalee Ibssa Laura Loomer , the far-right social media figure who has pushed multiple conspiracy theories and has posted racist comments, on Friday pushed back against criticism of her proximity to former President Donald Trump after she accompanied him to several events this week and Trump called her a "supporter" and "free spirit.
"Laura is a supporter. I don't control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She's a, she's a free spirit," said Trump, who claimed not to know about her controversial comments, but also said she had "strong opinions," and he'd review them as well as release a statement. "The 9/11 documents are still classified to this day. The American people deserve to know the entire truth. Not just what our lying government chose to tell us," Loomer wrote. "There's so many unanswered questions... Why?"
Her post quickly spread across social media, but the facts were that Air Force One didn't land at Joint Base Andrews -- rather it landed at Delaware's National Guard Base where the president was seen exiting the plane on his own, saluting an officer and taking questions from reporters before departing to his hometown.
