Twice this past summer, Donald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J. has featured speeches from a rioter convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, who has a well-documented history of extreme antisemitic and racist rants.
One of those events — a fundraiser for a controversial nonprofit group that supports Capitol riot defendants — was personally endorsed by Trump himself in a video message that was played for the room.
“All of the people there, you’re amazing patriots,” Trump said in the video. “Have a great time at Bedminster.”
As part of his criminal case over Jan. 6, federal prosecutors described the rioter, Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, as a “white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer,” who told his coworkers at a naval weapons station that “Hitler should have finished the job” and “babies born with any deformities or disabilities should be shot in the forehead.”
This is worse than the "good people on both sides" stupidity. The COFF's people knew, or should have known, the ramifications of having an admitted Nazi speak, twice, at his golf club.
But I believe that he knew and he didn't care. That can be shown by the fact that he seems to love hanging out with racists and lunatics like Laura Loomer.
No one can keep former President Donald Trump away from Laura Loomer.
Throughout his third presidential campaign, aides and advisers have done their best to shield him from Loomer, a far-right social media influencer, and similar figures who stroke his ego and stoke his basest political instincts.
They lost that battle this week, as Loomer traveled on Trump’s jet to his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday and to Sept. 11 memorial services Wednesday. Her presence at the latter infuriated some Democrats and Republicans because one of the many conspiracy theories she has promoted is the false notion that the terrorist assault on the U.S. was an “inside job.” It wasn’t.
Loomer’s return to Trump’s side is pitting key figures in his coalition against one another, testing the strength of a campaign already reeling from his subpar debate performance Tuesday and Democrats’ resurgence in the wake of their July candidate switch. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., major Trump allies in Congress who represent opposite ends of the Republican ideological spectrum, are publicly pressing him to ditch her. Loomer fired back Thursday with a string of invective about Graham.
Loomer's been spewing racist shit, which is one of the reason why Trump likes her so much. She says what he wants to say and flatters his ego in the process. Remember, the reason he gave for choosing that Hillbilly Trainwreck of a running-mate was because "he likes me the best." Yet she is so far out there that even the Jewish Space Laser Lady can't stomach her hate.
Anyone who obsequieously flatters Don Snoreleone has the key to his heart. Loomer knows that.
No matter how bad you thought Laura Loomer is, she's far, far worse:
