Trump devotee Laura Loomer sparks MAGA civil war

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump 's presidential campaign hit some turbulence as the MAGA world sparred over his cozy relationship with right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer. 'I spent a few days with Laura Loomer earlier this year and came away with the impression that she functions as a security blanket for Trump,' tweeted Washington Post reporter Kara Voght. Loomer, who has reported for Alex Jones's Infowars, has cast herself as one of Trump's most devoted allies in his fight for the White House and castigated Republicans she accuses of disloyalty. The tensions burst into the open when Taylor-Greene reposted the statement on X by Loomer stating that if Vice President Kamala Harris won the election, 'the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a 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.'
