The next day, while attending the 9/11 remembrance ceremony in New York City, Trump brought Loomer, who has previously pushed extreme conspiracy theories about the terrorist attacks being āan inside job,ā to the event alongside him.
And as if that was not enough, just days before, Loomer posted on X saying that the White House will āsmell like curryā if Harris wins the presidential election.
You can imagine the uproar itās sparked.
At a press conference on Thursday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) condemned Trump for bringing Loomer to the event, calling the decision āshocking, irresponsible, and offensive.ā
