Vance: ‘Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign’

I think it’s pretty clear she’s never even met the orange bad.

JD Vance is not affiliated with any semblance of objective truth and reality. Most of us have Internet access buddy, you can’t gaslight this kinda stuff away

This must be one of those stories Vance said he makes up in order to help the American people

Some people will sincerely believe Vance, and then be offended that Democrats think they’re stupid.

Is this Vance speaking for Trump again? 😂

It’s way easier to get shit stuck to your shoe than wiping it off.

Your comment implies that it’s accidental and undesired, whereas in reality they’re deliberately painting it on.

Look, Kristen, I make a mean chicken curry. I don’t think that it’s insulting for anybody to talk about their dietary preferences

Was it just like locker-room-talk?

This Vance guy was the perfect choice by Trump. Probably the only thing I agree with in his campaign. (S)
And Laura Loomer is right up there competing with him on being the most brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣

Let’s assume that she isn’t, being generous and disregarding OP’s photos for a moment.

If both Trump and Vance are echoing this “pet-eating” stuff that she has said, it doesn’t really matter whether she’s affiliated or not, does it? The campaign is about putting two people – Trump and Vance – in office. Any formal affiliation that Loomer has is only meaningful insofar as it affects what Trump or Vance (or, I guess, the Trump-Vance campaign) is doing. And it really does seem that what she’s doing is affecting all three. Or that she’s drawing from campaign planners via a backchannel, which is again functionally equivalent to being formally-affiliated with the campaign in terms of what anyone would care about.
