Loomer, who accompanied Trump on flight to TV debate, made comments at white nationalist conference in 2022

Close Donald Trump ally Laura Loomer told a white nationalist conference in 2022 that she considered herself a “white advocate”, according to a recording of the speech obtained by the Guardian.

Loomer has come under scrutiny in recent days after being seen accompanying Trump on a flight to the presidential debate on Tuesday, and a subsequent string of racist tweets aimed at Kamala Harris.

That caused a political firestorm after Trump’s disastrous debate performance, with Harris emerging the clear winner. In particular, Trump’s raising of false claims around Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating pets triggered outrage and mockery of him

    It’s the strangest thing when people who were targets of Nazi persecution become Nazis themselves (Loomer is Jewish). But then again, it also seems to be a feature of far right personality organization to behave this way. Like Roy Cohn (Trump’s long ago attorney/mentor) was gay but denied it including when he died from AIDS. Some kind of self-hatred and projection combined. As though ones sins could be pushed off onto something other which can be persecuted as a scapegoat, which as I think about it is a well known narcissistic family dynamic. In any event, it’s Weird!
