Donald Trump refused on Friday to condemn recent racist and conspiratorial comments from right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer, who traveled with him earlier this week to Tuesday night’s presidential debate and several 9/11 memorial events.

“Laura’s been a supporter of mine,” Trump told reporters at a press conference near Los Angeles, where he was pressed on concerns from Republican allies about his ongoing association with Loomer, who once declared herself a “proud Islamophobe” and has a long history of promoting ugly and extreme conspiracies.

    I keep thinking how she’s basically the IRL version of Firecracker from The Boys, especially with how they’ve been doubling down on how Homelander is Trump.

      I love the Boys. I hope next season breaks away from irl politics. Even though I know it’s going to end up with Homelander in the Whitehouse.
