Republicans point finger at Laura Loomer for Trump’s pet-eating rant

Conspiracy theorist said to have been key promoter of false rumour about immigrants ex-president repeated in debate

Republicans are blaming the influence of Laura Loomer, a rightwing conspiracy theorist, for this week’s botched debate performance by Donald Trump, which included the former president repeating a bizarre and unfounded claim that pet cats and dogs were being eaten by Haitian immigrants.

Loomer flew with Trump on his private plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and has been identified as a key promoter of the pets rumour, which has been dismissed as false by authorities in Springfield, Ohio, where the practice was alleged to have been taking place.

…

Loomer, who styles herself as an “investigative journalist”, last year promoted a conspiracy theory alleging that 9/11 was an”inside job”. On Wednesday she posted an unfounded allegation that Harris had worn earphones disguised as earrings during the debate.

If he wasnt such a weak minded shithead he wouldve not wasted anyones time with that crap

Karyoplasma ,

Oh is that why she “snapped” so hard on twitter/x and MTG “reprimanded” her? It was obviously staged to have a fallgirl.

Burn_The_Right ,

So they admit he is easily fooled and is not a critical thinker?

captainlezbian ,

Charge her with incitement for every crime against these people. This is such a heinous thing to do.

And if you want proof that American Christianity is a tribal identity not a belief in the gospels it’s the fact that it’s the people demanding this be a Christian nation terrorizing these refugees who happen to be predominately Christian

Okay, and?

Trump still said that shit. If Walz went to Harris and said, “The radical right is injecting holy water in babies’ eyes so they can see the lord” and she just said that shit without checking, I’d be looking at her sideways too. He went to a national debate and sputtered out nonsense that he didn’t verify or even question. That shit’s on him.

captainlezbian ,

And it’s not Walz to compare that to. It’s more like if Natalie Wynn or another bread tuber did it. There’s a level of assumed trust between vp candidate and presidential candidate that this completely lacks (and this still would violate it). This lady is just some low level pundit calling herself a journalist

qarbone ,

I think the connection is that it became a talking point because Vance brought it up. While it’s likely he doesn’t listen to Vance unless it’s filtered through an LCD, I think the comparison is pretty apt

Gumbyyy ,

Maybe they should actually - hear me out here - blame, I dunno, Donald Trump for what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth? Rather than whatever idiot planted the most recent brain-dead conspiracy theory into his head? There will always be more idiots with brain-dead conspiracy theories, so maybe, just maybe, your candidate for President of the United States shouldn’t be a complete moron who falls for every single one of them?

aesthelete , (edited )

Yeah, I too don’t understand why everyone around him is just OK with the idea of the guy being a completely responsibility-free empty vessel.

It seems that once again they want to absolve this…former president of all responsibilities, but him being responsible for what comes out of his donkey-brained mouth is the lowest possible bar of accountability before the bar clangs to the floor.

shasta ,

They love that about him because he can be manipulated to do anything they want. They just get upset when other people do it.

Their constituents also always fall for these brain dead conspiracy theories.
Because Trump said it and is being mocked for it they are currently falling over themselves to prove that it’s real. Anything that looks like evidence proves it is true, any lack of evidence proves the Liberal Deep State is hiding it.

I can see how an unrepentant compulsive liar would want to style themselves as an “investigative journalist”.

Is Loony Loomer another Russian asset asshat? Hmm…

TheHotze , (edited )

I wanted to make a joke about Trumps campaign admitting that he believes anything the people around say, but then I remembered the goat dewormer and injecting bleach claims and it’s not funny anymore.

MBM ,

Ah good, they found a woman to blame

Has anyone seen my lost shaker of salt?

Head on home and get that heel looked at.

This is another sign of weakness and his unfitness for presidency. What’s Trump for a president if he cannot stand and take responsibility for his own utterings?

Meanwhile ex-staffers for Harris are upset that she asks them questions about the things they present her.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

He’s just flying vapid bimbos around now?

dyathinkhesaurus ,

Always has been…

captainlezbian ,

Yeah I’m pretty sure that was a big part of his schtick in the 80s and 90s

So they fixed the electoral college, and they know victory is all but certain. That’s why they came up with the most cruel and despicable lie so that when Trump wins, despite losing the debate, progressives and leftists and sane people will be heartbroken and soul shattered.

This is how you know the electoral college is fixed, they have no fear of repercussions

BaroqueInMind , (edited )

If the electoral college didn’t exist, then all you had to do was campaign in LA, SFO, ATL and NY and ignore the rest of the country because popular vote wins and the biggest population centers would matter more. This is a really stupid fucking take please stfu about abolishing the EC because abolishing it results in politicians ignore minorities and their issues (i.e. racism, poverty, etc)

ayyy ,

Hmm, and where do you think minorities live?

BaroqueInMind ,

What about Native Americans you fucktard?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Which state and which presidential election has the indigenous vote been the thing that clinched things?

BaroqueInMind ,

Doesn’t matter, because without the EC they wouldn’t even bother trying to look like they care and now brazenly just tell Native Americans to go fuck themselves. This sounds shitty and fuck you for promoting this.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

When do they look like they care now? I have never seen a president campaign on a reservation. Insulting me is not going to make your point make sense. Presidents might not care about the indigenous without the electoral college, but they don’t care with the electoral college either. It’s a moot point.

RaoulDook ,

The deep South actually has the highest percentage of the USA’s black population.

Idiot, then.

TheRealKuni ,

Well, ignorant or misinformed. Idiot isn’t necessary.

webadict ,

History proves you wrong. The fucking Three-Fifths Compromise proves you wrong! Imagine pretending we would somehow be more racist if we removed the Electoral College, I can’t even.

lennybird ,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

False. In fact, that would still be better than the handful of random swing states. Proportionality matters.

Besides, campaigns are run in the digital sphere anyway.

WanderingVentra ,

As opposed to now where they completely ignored the most populous states and only campaign in swing states? That’s not better. Also, it’s not even true. They’d have to actually campaign everywhere.

HappyTimeHarry ,

Yeah we wouldnt want politicans to actually go where the majority of the people they serve live

captainlezbian ,

So? As a red state rust belt resident we already have the house and the senate that make sure that the middle of nowhere gets represented in the government. My state isn’t on your list and has three cities with more people than Wyoming. Shouldn’t there be somewhere where the majority of Americans get their way?

Thebeardedsinglemalt ,

Yeah and with the way they have shit setup now the county with 1000 dip shit rednecks has as much voting power as a city of 250,000.

harmsy ,

So letting a bunch of isolated inbred hermits in the middle of nowhere decide everything instead is a better way of doing things?

If that’s the case, no doubt Mr. Trump will desire to get rid of Loomer and then take on Harris in a second debate without that damaging baggage hanging around.
