Damn Marxist's and there "importance of fighting for equality and fighting corruption."
Donald Trump enlisted the support of some notorious conspiracy theorists for his presidential debate on Tuesday night—in which he confidently presented unfounded online rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets as a fact
Among those in the room were Jack Posobiec and Chaya Raichik, according to Axios.
Posobiec is best known as one of the most outspoken pushers of the Pizzagate conspiracy, the false theory that claimed a child sex ring with ties to Democrats was being run out of a nonexistent basement of a pizza joint in Washington, D.C. More recently, he co-authored a book denying the humanity of progressives—titled Unhumans—which was praised in a blurb written by Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
Raichik, meanwhile, is the founder of Libs of TikTok, the anti-transgender X account which has been accused of inspiring harassment campaigns and even bomb threats.
Also in the room was Rogan O’Handley, according to CNN. The conservative commentator was last year accused of exploiting football player Damar Hamlin’s mid-game cardiac arrest to boost anti-vaccine conspiracies.
Trump also traveled to the debate on his plane with Laura Loomer, the far-right MAGA activist who had been pushing the pet-eating conspiracy online before Trump took to the stage. Loomer, who also fanned baseless claims that Vice President Kamala Harris had worn headphones disguised as earrings during the debate, then accompanied Trump the day after to events commemorating the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks—despite the fact that she last year described 9/11 as an “inside job.”
The racist vs. racist battle is on:
Firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — no stranger to being accused of racist rhetoric and views — blasted a fellow right-wing Trump ally on Wednesday, calling her views "appalling and extremely racist."
The Georgia lawmaker took to the social media site X on Wednesday to lay into Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist, internet personality and failed Congressional candidate known for espousing anti-Muslim, white nationalist and conspiracy theory views.
On Sept. 8, Loomer reshared a post by Vice President Kamala Harris, in which Harris posted a photo of her family and said that during her visits to India, her grandfather instilled in her the "importance of fighting for equality and fighting corruption." her grandmother, meanwhile, "traveled across India—bullhorn in hand—to speak with women about accessing birth control."
"Their commitment to public service and fight for a better future live on in me today," wrote Harris.
In sharing the post, Loomer attacked Harris with a racially charged post.
"If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand," wrote Loomer.
On Wednesday evening, a fed-up Greene rebuked Loomer's post.
"This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA," wrote Greene, adding: "This does not represent President Trump."
"This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever," she said. "@LauraLoomer should take this down."
The public rebuke isn't the first time Greene has attacked Loomer.
In April 2023, Greene called Loomer "mentally unstable and a documented liar."
"She can not be trusted," wrote Greene at the time.
Loomer, notably was aboard Trump's plane in the hours before the Tuesday debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
All of this comes after Greene herself has faced accusations of racism, particularly after Politico in June 2020 uncovered hours of Facebook videos in which Greene espoused racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic views.
Among them: Greene suggested Muslims do not belong in government and believes black people “are held slaves to the Democratic Party.” She also called Democratic Jewish megadonor George Soros a Nazi.
