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

          What was ever cool about stormfront? I remember them as the ignorant assholes that got booted off public BBS and created it as a KKK safe space.

          After typing it out, funny to me how that keeps recurring.

          Edit - lol I guess “stormfront” they meant this character from The Boys, not the Klan site oops.

            🤣I also just realized the Stormfront connection. The Boys writers were not being subtle with that one.

              The right has no appreciation for art, because art can be subversive and speaks truth to power. That’s why they miss the subtext involved (or in the case of Born in the USA, the literal text).

              It wasn’t until the third season of The Boys before the right said “Wait, why is Homelander the bad guy? And why am I wrong for supporting him?” And the fourth season has the villains saying near-verbatim quotes from the right.

              Other way around, I believe. The boys was originally just a comic and stormfront is a character in the comics.

                  Isn’t that website itself a reference to the magazines the Nazis were circulating before WWII?

                  Hard to tell. He very well might have been.

                    Yea that’s pretty subtle. Can definitely see how someone might miss the reference.

      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!

          Yeah, me either. I made a mistake. I meant “far right”. I’ll edit it to fix.
