New in PN: Trumps love for Laura Loomer is disqualifying
"Loomers presence by Trumps side underlines his fascism, poor judgement, and manifest unfitness. No one prepared to her should be elected to a water reclamation board, much less the presidency."

Trumps love for Laura Loomer is disqualifying
She's beyond the pale even by MAGA standards.

Last week was one of the worst so far for Donald Trumps 2024 presidential campaign.
Trumps bad week began Tuesday, when Vice President Harris made him look ridiculous and pathetic in their presidential debate. She was widely acknowledged as the winner even by conservatives, and her success was reflected in a post-debate polling bump. Trump, meanwhile, was widely mocked and ridiculed for spreading a racist hoax to fear-monger about Haitian migrants.
Trump hoped to change the narrative with a series of appearances that were supposed to focus on the economy and border security. But instead, he mostly made headlines for trying to explain his close relationship with 31-year-old far-right failed congressional candidate, conspiracy theorist, and white nationalist Laura Loomer.
Trump, of course, spends time with vicious bigots all the time, including when hes hanging out by himself. Even by MAGA standards, though, Loomer is a disturbing and disgusting specimen so much so that even Republican leaders and Trump loyalists have publicly urged the former president to distance himself from her.

This is Laura Loomer pushing back on rumors of her being romantically involved with Trump:
I mean, look, I know that Kamala Harris s@@ed d@@k to get where she is today, okay? And she had to sleep with Willie Brown in order to to get to the top.
But some of us women, right, we actually work hard! Some of us women have no desire to have sexual affairs with politicians or men with elite political status to climb the ladder.
I know that Kamala Harris cant say the same, but, you know, believe me when I say that thats not me. Or as Kamala Harris likes to say, they aint like us, right?
She aint like me. I aint like her. Okay? I dont s@@k d@@k to get to the top. Thats what Kamala Harris does.

I censored the offending words.
Laura Loomer makes Margorie Taylor Greene look like a saint.
