Former Trump aide: 'You're going to get the Laura Loomers of the world' in second administration

Sarah Matthews, a former spokesperson for former President Trump, warned that if he is reelected, his administration would be staffed with the “Laura Loomers of the world.”

Matthews joined MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday for “Inside with Jen Psaki,” where she weighed in on the growing concern about Trump’s connection to Loomer, a former congressional candidate with a history of anti-Muslim and racist comments.

“I would imagine maybe she wants to be White House Press Secretary … and that is what is most concerning to me, because I’ve talked about this threat of ‘who will be staffing a second administration?’” Matthews said.

park the Orange embarrassment off on some golf course. Vance may be a fascist but at least he’s not flat out crazy.
Can you imagine her at the front and center of press conferences?
We are already the laughingstock of the world.

Their jobs will be turned into patronage jobs filled with people like Loomer with no expertise in the work, just loyalty to Trump and any law he wants to break. I wish the Republican masses understood or cared about the damage such a change would have. Want your Social Security payment on time? Oops, no one knows how to make that happen.

Want to keep Grandma in the nursing home paid for by Medicaid? Republicans plan to set limits on total lifetime Medicaid use so when she reaches the financial limit for benefits, she gets kicked out of the nursing home. A lot of Republican voters rely on Social Security and Medicaid? Do they just not care because they hate Democrats so much?
