‘Intense blowback’ knocks far-right Laura Loomer from role in Trump campaign: NYT's Haberman

Raw Story  

Just hours after The New York Times reported that Laura Loomer appeared to be on her way to securing a role in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the far-right anti-Muslim activist is no longer under consideration. That’s according to The Times’ Maggie Haberman, who along with Jonathan Swan first reported on Friday that Trump had told aides to hire Loomer. But the intense reaction to it being reported changed things.” Loomer attended Trump’s Mar-a-Lago speech Tuesday night after the former president’s arraignment in Manhattan, and the two had met recently to discuss role in support of his candidacy, the report says. I’m pro-white nationalism,” Loomer said during a 2017 interview on the far-right podcast Nationalist Public Radio, The Times reports.
