Far-Right Conspiracy Theorist Laura Loomer Denies Rumors of Affair with Donald Trump

Loomer, an extremist commentator known for making racist remarks and promoting baseless conspiracy theories, has been spending time with Trump on the campaign trail recently

Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer is denying rumors that she is having an affair with former President Donald Trump.

“They’ve taken it so far, and you know if I was a leftist journalist, if I was a Democrat, oh my God, the media would be up in arms if the Republican media was doing this to a left-wing journalist,” she said on her podcast on Sept. 14. “ ‘Oh my god, they’re misogynist, they’re bullying a woman, they’re trying to Monica Lewinsky her, they’re trying to discredit the fact that she’s a working woman.’ ”

Loomer's comments came one day after comedian Bill Mahermocked Loomer, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2022, on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher after Loomer said Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in an "arranged relationship" to influence the 2024 election.

In response Maher said, "“I think maybe Laura Loomer’s in an arranged relationship to influence the election because she’s very close to Trump. She's 31. Looks like his type."

"We did an editorial here a few years ago .... 'Who’s Trump f******?' Because I said, 'it’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long. And it’s not Melania.' I think we may have our answer this week.”

Loomer also threatened to sue Maher for defamation in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

"This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie," she wrote.

Loomer then referenced the criticism she and the Trump campaign received after she repeatedly flew on the former president's plane — even accompanying him to events honoring the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — after peddling conspiracy theories about the attacks, The Independent noted.

"I have never in my life seen such a coordinated attack by the mainstream Media, the White House and leftist personalities to target a private citizen and investigative journalist simply because I flew on a plane and I support Donald Trump," she added in her post. "This is unacceptable. And it’s a full blown LIE and incredibly disrespectful to President Trump and first lady Melania Trump."

Following the blowback over their association, Trump tried to distance himself from Loomer in a Truth Social post on Sept. 13.

“Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign," he said. "She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter."

The former president added, “I disagree with the statements she made but, like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me, even to the point of doing anything to stop their Political Opponent, ME!”
