Republicans RING ALARM Over Laura Loomer's Close Ties With Trump
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Sen. Lindsey Graham urged former President Donald Trump to stay away from Laura Loomer.
- 13 minutes
Since earlier this week, we've been
noticing more and more right wingers
sort of pushing back against Laura Loomer,
becoming Donald Trump's,
like, I guess, assistant or surrogate,
something, I don't know.
And Marjorie Greene was, to her credit,
one of the first to really
[00:00:15]
make a big stink about the fact
that Laura Loomer has, I guess,
replaced her by Donald Trump's side.
And so she put out some tweets calling
Laura Loomer a racist, which she is.
Laura Loomer responded by calling Marjorie
Greene an anti-Semite, which also she is.
[00:00:30]
And. But now Greene has got some help.
Okay.
One of those spinny sparkly portals opened
up and Lindsey Graham has come out in
Bombay, and here is what he has to say.
He says Marjorie Taylor Greene is right.
I don't say that a lot.
Neither do I.
We have policy disagreements,
[00:00:46]
but the history of this person,
Laura Loomer, is just really toxic.
I mean, she actually called for Kellyanne
Conway's daughter to hang herself.
I don't know how all this happened,
but, no, I don't think it's helpful.
I don't think it's helpful at all.
And look, he's obviously has
an issue with Laura Loomer.
[00:01:03]
But she responded in a very serious
and restrained way,
saying Lindsey Graham got wasted
after the debate the other night
and est all over Donald Trump as he
and his advisers because he was drunk
and flapping his gums to the media.
Lindsey Graham was drunk as a skunk and
started blabbing, trying to impress the
[00:01:22]
first gay reporter he could come across in
the spin room and then blah, blah, blah.
I don't have time to deal with petty bull
s from jealous women and closet cases.
There's only one thing I care
about getting Donald Trump elected.
And of course, she for some reason
thinks that her presence or her advice
[00:01:39]
will help him in that.
By the way, like if Laura Loomer
comes across this, we're criticizing you
because you deserve it.
I don't want you to stop hanging out
with Donald Trump.
You understand that, right?
The issue with ignorance is
that you can be ignorant of your own,
[00:01:55]
ignorant of your own ignorance.
You don't know how much damage
your mere presence, let alone every word
out of your mouth, will do to Donald Trump
and to the Republicans.
So flame on.
Stay by his side
like we're going to criticize you
because you're crazy and you're terrible.
[00:02:10]
You're one of the worst people in America,
but you're also materially hurting
Donald Trump's chances. So have fun.
I hope you know they've got
some great appetizers on this.
Private Jets I think it's
great what you're doing for Donald Trump.
Hey don't scroll away.
Come back, come back.
[00:02:25]
Because before the video continues,
we just want to urge you
to lend your support to TYT.
You power our honest reporting.
You do it at tight.com/team
and we love you for it.
I have a question for her
which I already asked the social media.
I also have a question for JD Vance.
See how this works out?
[00:02:42]
Because Laura Loomer just said if Kamala
Harris wins, the white House will
smell like curry, and white House speeches
will be facilitated via call center,
and the American people will only
be able to convey their feedback through
a customer satisfaction survey at the end
of the call that nobody will understand.
[00:02:57]
So an obvious reference to Kamala
Harris's South Asian background.
So how is the vice president's
residence going to smell if J.D.
Vance wins?
Because J.D. Vance's wife is also Indian.
So is J.D. Vance cool with it?
[00:03:15]
These kind of comments
about Indian people like.
Yes.
So, but somebody should ask him,
and I'd like to I'd love to ask Usha Vance
if you say, oh, no, you're not allowed to.
Why?
This is apparently one of the top
advisers of the president.
He's bringing her everywhere.
[00:03:30]
He's using all of her conspiracy theories
on the national debate stage.
I don't know that he took
as much advice from JD Vance as he did
from Laura Loomer before the debate.
So I think we got a right to know.
How does JD Vance and his wife feel
about Laura Loomer's overt racism
[00:03:46]
against Indians in this country?
I mean, I think once you clerk for enough
people involved in the Brooks Brothers
riot, you become an honorary white.
So I think OSHA.
OSHA has hung her South
Asian descent at the door.
[00:04:01]
She knows what the role is,
and it is to be the wife of the biggest
cook in the country right now.
And that right now, although, you know,
the son of cook has
smiled upon people like Ted Cruz
is really now smiling on JD Vance.
[00:04:17]
I mean, what's crazy about Loomer
is we all saw her response
to Marjorie Greene's, tweet about like,
how why are you saying this?
This sounds racist.
Which again, pot calling the kettle black.
They're just, you know,
in insane amounts of hypocrisy there.
[00:04:33]
But she's like, no, actually, I say call
center because she'll never answer
the phone if president, therefore she's so
unaccountable she'll need a call center.
Like, what are we doing?
This is the same. Like it was a joke.
[00:04:48]
I was kidding, lighten up.
And, John, I'm actually kind of struck
by Trump even saying I disagree
with her statements, because when have
we ever known him to disassociate himself
from someone who was a Nazi?
Like he hasn't? He never.
He never disassociates himself
from former statements that he made.
[00:05:06]
He never says he misspoke
about Charlottesville people,
you know, protesters being good people
on both sides,
like so it's I don't know what's going on.
But it is interesting that he was like,
okay, I don't agree with everything.
She said.
Yeah, I guess he could have done nothing.
I suppose that's true.
[00:05:22]
When he makes these sort of like minor
concessions to sanity,
I think it says much less about him,
although feel free to read it that way.
If you want to give him credit,
then it does.
About his read of the situation,
I think it's just an indication
that he is maybe beginning to think maybe,
maybe I shouldn't have run.
[00:05:40]
Maybe this is actually pretty bad because
this has become a really bad news cycle.
Now, maybe on some level he likes
this news cycle better than the news cycle
of him having his clock cleaned
by Kamala Harris at the debate.
I don't know.
But yeah, I You mentioned the call
center thing when she said the white House
[00:05:57]
is going to smell like curry,
she said later, well,
I was just saying because she
because she's gonna make cooking videos.
I'm like, again, it's the issue.
Really, really stupid people
don't know how stupid they are.
[00:06:13]
And they they wildly overestimate
their ability to manipulate people.
It's like it's like a child trying to tell
their first lie to an adult, and the adult
is like, but I literally saw you do it.
You know?
That's not how deception works, right?
It's like that she's mentally
at the level of a toddler
[00:06:29]
and yet is, you know, advisor to perhaps
the next president of the United States.
And so, former Trump campaign staffers
are talking about
how she's a complete grifter.
She has no filter.
There's there's a lot of people beyond
just Marjorie Greene and Lindsey Graham
that are trying to put some distance
between them, but they acknowledge
[00:06:47]
that he likes her content.
Again, conspiracies,
just whatever she reads on, you know,
Facebook posts and fortune or whatever,
and that she's a great warrior
who goes to battle for him, I guess.
And I think, I think that's look,
Donald Trump is having a bad year.
[00:07:03]
The court cases, his wife doesn't want
to be seen within 20 miles of him.
And now he's trailing.
He's not going up against Biden.
It's been a really bad year.
And Donald Trump is a simple guy,
and he wants someone
who's going to compliment him and tell him
that he's awesome and just, you know,
[00:07:20]
stroke his ego and all that.
And that's what he's getting.
And that's that's why he flies around
with like, people that there's no reason
why she should be there.
Why was he flying around
with Alina Habba for months?
Like he puts people around him
who are going to puff him up and make
him feel better about his situation,
even if in so doing he makes his situation
[00:07:39]
actually worse for himself.
Yeah, maybe he's confusing them.
Do we ever think that maybe
he thinks Loomer is Harbor?
Because Loomer does look like Harbor,
like left out in the sun?
You know, just like, gotten a little.
- As good of a lawyer.
- Yeah.
[00:07:54]
Look, I'll get into a theory in a second.
But first, you know, the excuses that
Trump is making or that Trump's handlers
are making for him is, well, you know,
he probably doesn't know
all of her conspiracy theories
and, you know, and so but we haven't been
able to tell him yet because he, you know,
[00:08:13]
he gets upset and stuff.
They're treating him like he's a baby
because he is a baby.
Like, so he you can't tell a guy who's
been president of the United States before
and is running for president.
Hey, maybe one of your associates
is not that helpful to the campaign.
That's like campaign 101.
[00:08:29]
That's a conversation that has to happen
with the principle of the campaign
from time to time.
But they can't talk to him
because he's so thin skinned
that he won't listen to anyone.
And, Mr. President, it's a bad idea
to say people are eating cats and dogs,
especially when she made it up out of
[00:08:48]
nothing and everyone says it's not true.
What? What?
And we're having a conference.
Come on, guys, it's not a debate.
It's not a debate.
He's just imbecile of the highest order.
All right, now, if Frannie said
called him a Nazi, right?
[00:09:04]
I don't say Nazi, I say fascist. I'm fair.
Fair show in America. And.
And that's because he did a coup against
America with his fake elector plot.
Every fascist, you know, foreign leader,
he's like, oh, they're so great.
I love those guys. Right?
And on and on and on it goes.
[00:09:20]
But if you say, well, Laura Loomer,
are you sure she's a fascist?
Well, let's go to C2 here.
It's a video that happened in 2022,
as she was.
I think it was right after
she ran for Congress.
Let's see what kind of company she keeps.
This is far right activist Laura Loomer
and white nationalist Nick Fuentes
[00:09:38]
Cheering two.
To the hostile takeover
of the Republican Party.
Absolutely.
And now Donald Trump
has had dinner with Nick Fuentes and now
is palling around with Laura Loomer.
Hostile takeover of the Republican Party.
Complete.
So buyer beware.
[00:09:55]
Now, again, as John pointed out,
there's a lot of good people
that are saying this is a bad idea.
Yes, even within the Republican Party
and that are conservatives.
Batya Ungar Sargon is conservative.
I've debated with on the issue of Israel,
and we've had a lot and other topics too.
[00:10:12]
And she's a conservative.
She says she likes Trump's policies
and she's like, what are we doing here?
We can't.
She's like, I might not support him
if he's backing people like Laura Loomer.
There's Laura Loomer hanging out and
toasting to take over the Republican Party
[00:10:28]
with a guy who thinks that Adolf Hitler
was a pretty good guy.
That's Nick Fuentes.
So this is utter madness, let alone.
Okay, so everybody's asking why, why, why?
I think the 90% of the reason
is because Donald Trump agrees
with Laura Loomer on everything.
[00:10:44]
And I don't think it's complicated at all.
But there are rumors and boom.
And Dragon Cat, one of our members
here said, I think there may be something
going on with Loomer besides politics,
if you know what I mean.
Now, the reason why I read that
is because that's getting some buzz now
because they're touching each other.
[00:11:00]
Let's put it this way a lot more
than a melania is touching him in public.
So? So now, do I know that?
Absolutely not. I'm not a right winger.
I'm telling like the right wing would say.
That's it.
It's official.
It's definite that's happening.
[00:11:15]
And then they throw in details and stuff.
No, I have no idea.
And nor do I care. I don't care at all.
The only thing I care about is
that he agrees with 100% of what she says.
So you don't have to go in that direction
and you don't have to worry about that.
And in fact, I think that's almost like a
defense, like an excuse for Donald Trump.
[00:11:33]
Oh, he like, oh,
maybe he's in a relationship with.
- No, he agrees with her.
- It's okay.
- If they're in love, it's fine.
- No, no, Frannie, like it's an excuse.
Is fine as long
as there's love between them.
Yeah. Look, again, we have no idea.
[00:11:49]
No idea. Okay.
But my the reason why I say
it's like maybe they're using it
as an excuse or I don't.
I have no idea, but is because otherwise,
the only other reason he's
hanging out with her is because he agrees
with all of her hateful statements
and all of her conspiracy theories.
[00:12:05]
So you pick, you know,
as to which reason you think it is.
I think it's that he agrees
with her completely,
and that's a disaster for the Republicans.
So look, if he wins,
it's a disaster for the country.
But final thing for me on this is
here's what MAGA doesn't get.
[00:12:22]
MAGA is making the same exact mistake
as the establishment is.
They're in their own bubble, and they
think that everybody thinks like they do.
They don't.
The rest of the country does not want
a white Judeo-Christian ethno state.
[00:12:38]
They don't want to be, as she declared
herself, a proud Islamophobe yeah,
they might have issues with Muslims, etc.,
but they don't say the awful, terrible
things that Loomer says about Muslims,
Indian people, black people, you name it.
There isn't a group.
They don't hang out
with people who love Hitler.
Okay, that's not a thing
that the country is interested in.
[00:12:56]
But MAGA thinks, what do you mean?
Nick Fuentes.
Yes, yes.
The whole country agrees with us, right?
We're going to win 100% of the vote.
You sound like the establishment
who's like, oh, I love the status quo.
Everybody loves corporate rule,
don't they?
Oh, they think all the politicians
are honest, wonderful,
venerable people, don't they?
[00:13:11]
No, no they don't.
No. Only you think that if you're in
the establishment or in mainstream media,
and only MAGA thinks that people,
Haitian immigrants are eating cats and
dogs and Democrats are executing babies.
And Laura Loomer is a wonderful person.
So go ahead and lose the election
because you can't see straight.
