Trump Defends Associating With 9/11 Truther Laura Loomer
HuffPost
Loomer, a conservative commentator, attended an anniversary ceremony with Trump at Ground Zero and posted about a 9/11 conspiracy theory days later.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stood up Friday on behalf of a high-profile supporter who has drawn fire from other Republicans for embracing conspiracy theories and making racist comments.
Conservative personality Laura Loomer accompanied Trump on Wednesday to a ceremony at Ground Zero in New York to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, which killed almost 3,000 people.
Two days later, Loomer posted on social media, along with a clip of TV coverage of 9/11: “The American people deserve to know the entire truth. Not just what our lying government chose to tell us.”
She then reposted that message with another one, “Do NOT google Building 7,” a reference to a conspiracy theory that a building next to the World Trade Center towers that caught fire in the attack and collapsed was instead brought down by unexplained factors.
Asked about Loomer, Trump told reporters at a press conference in Los Angeles on Friday, “Laura’s been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters.”
