Trump described Loomer as a “free spirit” and added, “I don’t control Laura. She is a strong individual with her own opinions, and I can’t dictate her actions.” This came after Loomer’s recent social media posts, including a controversial remark about the 9/11 attacks, attracted negative attention.
Loomer had shared a post suggesting unresolved questions about 9/11, accompanied by an old video of trump questioning the impact of airplanes on the Twin Towers. Following backlash, Loomer clarified that she does not subscribe to 9/11 conspiracy theories, pointing out that her book addresses the attacks as carried out by Islamic terrorists.

Despite this, trump defended Loomer, criticizing the “Radical Left Marxists and Fascists” who he claimed were attacking her.
Loomer responded by accusing Democrats and others of targeting her due to her effectiveness in opposing them. She mentioned receiving extensive media coverage, numerous phone calls from reporters, and even death threats, asserting that the backlash was disproportionate to her remarks about Harris’s culinary skills.
