It wasn’t the urging of multiple allies or her history of blatantly racist comments that got controversial right-wing influencer Laura Loomer booted from Donald Trump’s campaign, according to a new report.
Loomer sparked panic among many of the former president’s friends, allies and donors as she was seen several times accompanying him on his campaign trail in early September.
But it wasn’t their urgings that he stop their association with her that convinced him, wrote Tim Alberta for The Atlantic Saturday.
Nor was it her history of highly offensive comments, many of which were read to Trump by his aides after he was seen with her at a 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero, Alberta reported. Among those comments were that 9/11 was an “inside job” and that she was a proud Islamophobe.
“What sealed Loomer’s fate, according to two people who were part of these conversations, wasn’t just her racist diatribes but also her appearance,” wrote Alberta.
“Trump, who is generally appalled by plastic surgery, was disgusted to learn about the apparent extent of Loomer’s facial alterations.”
Many reports claims Loomer has undergone several surgeries to alter her appearance.
