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

tal , 4 hours ago (edited 4 hours ago)

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.

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. 🤣🤣🤣

When you’re rich, they let you be racist.

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.

Is this Vance speaking for Trump again? 😂

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

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

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

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

And whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.

Oh very interesting choice of contrasting meal. It isn’t contrasting Trump, who famously likes his hamberders, so I wonder what it is meant to contrast.

Do you think he might suggest watermelon for dessert when discussing the latter as a meal?

We all knew this was coming. I have never meet her. I don’t know her. Who is she again? The old Trump Gas Light.

“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it…” [emphasis my own]

These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

How would he know? Trump doesn’t talk to him.

FlyingSquid OP , 31 minutes ago

Trump doesn’t know JD Vance. He’s never met him.
