Republican allies — including Marjorie Taylor Greene — are warning Trump to stay away from Loomer
In April 2023, the New York Times reported that Trump wanted to add Loomer to his 2024 presidential campaign team. Backlash ensued and the former president backed off his plans to hire her at the time.
A year and a half later, concerns have risen once again about Loomer’s proximity to Trump now that she has been seen in his orbit twice within the past week, particularly among some of his GOP allies who see Loomer as backpedaling Trump's campaign with less than two months until Election Day.
“The history of statements by Ms. Loomer are beyond disturbing,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told the Washington Post on Thursday. “I hope this problem gets resolved. I think we should be talking about things that people are concerned about, and this issue, I think, doesn’t help the cause.”
It has gotten to the point where even far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a staunch Trump ally known for her own incendiary comments, renewed her long-standing beef with Loomer this week. Greene lashed out at her for an “extremely racist” post mocking Harris’s Indian heritage.
