Former President Donald Trump attended the 9/11 anniversary today with Laura Loomer, who just last year shared a video claiming that “9/11 was an Inside Job!”
Loomer is a key Trump ally who also flew on Trump's plane to Pennsylvania yesterday. Among her many horrific and vitriolic remarks, Loomer has described herself as a “proud Islamophobe” who is “pro-white nationalism.” She has also recently launched unhinged attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, including repeatedly calling her a “hoe,” saying that the vice president dances “like a hood rat” and “is low brow,” and falsely claiming that “Harris isn’t Black.”
She also said of the recent shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia: “I don't think it's a coincidence. I think it's really bizarre how every single time there's a major election, there's always a school shooting.”
In a June 24, 2023, post, Loomer wrote, in part, that “on 9/10/01 , one day before 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld under the Bush administration said the US Government ‘lost’ $2.3 Trillion dollars. The very next day, 9/11/01, we were attacked.”
She also shared a video that had the text “9/11 was an Inside Job!”
NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard first reported on Loomer’s post.
The $2.3 trillion figure is a key and false claim that 9/11 conspiracy theorists have used over the years.
In addition to sharing 9/11 conspiracy theory propaganda, Loomer has also been a repeat guest on Alex Jones’ program. Jones is one of the leading 9/11 conspiracy theorists in the country. In 2016, Trump appeared on his program and praised his reputation.
