Lara Trump Campaigns with Self-Described Islamophobe GOP Candidate Laura Loomer

HeadlineSep 03, 2020

In other election news, Lara Trump, the president’s senior campaign adviser and daughter-in-law, campaigned in Florida on Wednesday with Laura Loomer, a far-right congressional candidate and conspiracy theorist. Loomer is a self-described “proud Islamophobe” who has called Muslims “savages” and Islam a “cancer.” She once cheered on the death of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. Loomer has been banned from Facebook and Twitter for promoting hate on the platforms. Loomer is the Republican nominee in Florida’s 21st Congressional District, which includes Mar-a-Lago, the president’s private club.
