The presence of hard-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer alongside Donald Trump on the campaign trail in recent days has raised questions, including from some Republicans, about the influence the controversial former congressional candidate may have on him.
Ms Loomer is well-known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric and for spreading conspiracy theories, including that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job” carried out by the US government.
She joined Trump at an event on Wednesday commemorating the attacks, raising eyebrows and prompting outrage in some US media outlets.
…
Now, she is known for her vocal support of Trump and for promoting a long string of conspiracy theories including claims that Kamala Harris is not black, and that the son of billionaire George Soros was sending cryptic messages calling for Trump’s assassination.
These posts led her to be banned from a number of platforms including Facebook, Instagram and even, according to her, Uber and Lyft for making offensive comments about Muslim drivers. She once described herself as a “proud Islamophobe”.
She’s my favourite of the RWNJs for the sheer degree of entertainment she provided the night she live streamed chaining herself to the doors of Twitter HQ wearing a star of David armband after they banned her.
I wasn’t aware she was embedded in Trump’s troupe nowadays but that certainly tracks.
She locked herself to a single door
People just walked past her and she had to ask the police to cut her free after two hours because nobody cared lol

Thank you for sharing that.
This is crazy and extremely moronic on her part.
And interesting how she saw fit to wear a yellow star on that occasion. Seemingly likening being banned from a social networking platform to being the victim of genocide.
They’re sending their best.
I mean the obvious place to look for detritus is at the bottom.
It would be funny if her racist rhetoric wasn’t effective.
