Laura Loomer, a far-right activist infamous for her conspiracy theories and controversial comments, has been a huge campaigner of ex-president Donald Trump.

She has attended events in support of The Apprentice star, most recently in New York and Pennsylvania to join Trump in commemorating the anniversary of 9/11.

While at a news conference, Trump said Loomer is a "supporter" and he was unaware of her recent comments made about Kamala Harris and September 11.

She wrote on X: "To the many reporters who are calling me and obsessively asking me to talk to them today, the answer is no.

"I am very busy working on my stories and investigations and don't have time to entertain your conspiracy theories. I do not work for President Trump. I do not work for anyone, actually."

Over the years, Loomer has constantly promoted conspiracy theories – including claims about Vice President Harris' race and George Soros' son allegedly sending cryptic messages to call for Trump's assassination.

Loomer's other misleading posts online claimed President Joe Biden was on his deathbed and the 9/11 attacks were "an inside job".

She also made baseless theories about the widespread school shootings, election fraud and the January 6 Capitol attack.

She Has Been Banned on Some Social Media Sites

Loomer's controversial remarks led her to be banned from several social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.

In 2018, the self-proclaimed "proud Islamophobe" alleged Uber and Lyft blocked her after she made offensive comments about Muslim drivers.

She, however, told CNN she was not anti-Muslim.

Aside from supporting Trump at events, Loomer revealed to CNN she accompanied the presidential candidate on his private plane following the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

Loomer said: "I was with him. I flew with him to the (Republican National Convention), so it could show that I'm a trustworthy person, I have his back."

They also traveled together to Trump's first presidential debate against Vice President Harris, sparking affair rumors which Loomer immediately debunked.

Donald Trump Nearly Hired Her for His Campaign

In April 2023, The New York Times reported Trump expressed an interest in adding Loomer to his staff, but he did not follow through after concerned top aides told him she could damage his campaign efforts.

One of the aides told NBC News: "Everyone who works for him thinks she's a liability."

Some Republicans also criticized Loomer and pushed back against her over the past few years.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to the media personality's statement about how the White House "will smell like curry" if Harris wins the election.

Greene said: "This is appalling and extremely racist.

"It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever."

Senator Thom Tillis also lambasted Loomer, saying she "is a crazy conspiracy theorist who regularly utters disgusting garbage intended to divide Republicans".

He added she might only hurt Trump's chances of winning the 2024 presidential election in November.

Loomer won a Florida GOP primary in 2020 and immediately received Trump's approval.

The ex-POTUS, after retweeting several posts about the activist's win, wrote on X: "Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a (Nancy) Pelosi puppet!"

With Trump's support, Loomer ran as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida in the same year but lost to Lois Frankel.

Two years later, she announced her candidacy again and ran to unseat Representative Daniel Webster — but she failed once again.

Trump has publicly spoken about Loomer several times – including at an event in Iowa where he gave her a shout-out.

He said: "She's a fantastic person, great woman."

One source close to the former president also claimed Trump "likes her".

The insider said: "Remember, last year there was a discussion about potentially hiring her. She hasn't been hired but it's not abnormal some of these people end up on the plane for a day or two."

On September 13, Trump called Loomer "a supporter" during a news conference in California. He also reiterated he was unaware of the comments she had made about Harris and 9/11.

Trump said: "I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She's a free spirit."
