Trump Defends Loomer Amid Backlash

Senator JD Vance distanced himself from far-right activist Laura Loomer's racist comments about Kamala Harris, emphasizing his disagreement with her statements while downplaying their importance. Loomer's remarks have caused significant backlash, including criticism from Trump allies who fear her rhetoric could harm Trump's re-election chances, particularly among Indian American voters in key states. Despite the controversy, Trump has defended Loomer as a 'free spirit' and not officially part of his campaign, although her proximity to him has raised concerns. Loomer remains unapologetic, doubling down on her statements and maintaining her support for Trump. The situation has led to bipartisan criticism, with prominent Republicans urging Trump to disavow Loomer due to her divisive comments.
