Far-right commentator Laura Loomer is going on an anti-Republican tirade after reportedly being banned from traveling with former President Donald Trump.

The conspiracy theorist, who traveled with Trump to his recent presidential debate before appearing at a 9/11 event, stirred anger among Republicans who feel her presence is a detriment to the campaign.

Trump initially responded to the backlash by telling reporters that he “didn’t control Laura,” dubbing her a “free spirit.”

But with Loomer seemingly unable to keep her outrageous and offensive remarks to herself—and with Trump reportedly receiving numerous phone calls from concerned advisors and donors—the far-right provocateur, according to the Washington Post, was ultimately barred from regularly traveling with Trump.

Not only that, Trump is said to have privately described Loomer as “crazy” to those close to him.

    I’m pretty sure this is code for “she gave me a handie”

      One source–a very questionable source–is claiming an affair and/or oral sex. I think that any candidate under that much scrutiny would be an idiot if they had a sexual affair while on the campaign trail, but this is Trump we’re talking about. He’s not exactly known for having good impulse control.

        We already know the candidate is an idiot, so by the transitive property, he hit it and quit it as soon as the heat turned on.

        Not to downplay your point at all, but didn’t John Edwards do exactly that with a staffer when his wife was dying?

          No idea, TBH, but I know that Newt Gingritch divorced his wife as she was fighting breast cancer.

          Some people are just really scummy. Like, at least let the body get cold first.

          Silky Pony reference!

          Good times. Full-on DNC self-sabotage. The way it used to be.

          “He’s handsome and people will vote for him because he’s middle of the road!” 🤮

        I just find it implausible since it’s unlikely Trump can get it up. He’s probably well past being helped by blue pills, even.
