Trump Considers Hiring Anti-Muslim Activist Laura Loomer
Former President Donald Trump directed aides to hire Laura Loomer, a far-right and anti-Muslim activist with a history of expressing bigoted views, for a campaign role. However, some of Trump's aides were concerned that such a hire would cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and her embrace of the Republican Party's fringes. The news of Loomer's potential hire drew criticism from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a far-right Trump ally. By late Friday, a high-ranking campaign official said Loomer was no longer going to be hired.
