Kellyanne Conway ‘Pushed Back’ At Trump’s Laura Loomer Ties | EUROtoday

Kellyanne Conway says she’s “pushed back” at former President Donald Trump concerning his more and more cozy relationship with far-right demagogue Laura Loomer.

During The Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Conway stated she’s talked to Trump a number of occasions concerning her issues about Loomer and stated she has “liked” what she’s heard.

When journalist Tim Alberta requested if Conway, a former senior counselor within the Trump administration, would have let Loomer be a part of Trump on his flight to final week’s presidential debate, she provided a definitive no.

“I don’t know her, I don’t know that I’ve ever been in the same room with her. People have shown me what she has said,” Conway stated, including that she’s not “a big fan of Twitter,” the place Loomer is infamous for spewing bigoted and conspiratorial rhetoric.

“I didn’t know this person, so when I learned more about her and what she was saying, including to my 19-year-old daughter — it’s unacceptable,” Conway stated, referring to the right-wing agitator’s insults aimed toward her daughter Claudia Conway. “And I pushed back on that.”

Loomer has a long record of making racist remarks. She claimed the White House would “smell like curry” if Vice President Kamala Harris — whose mom was an immigrant from India — is elected, and has unfold conspiracy theories about 9/11, mass shootings and extra. Loomer as soon as referred to Conway’s daughter as a “low IQ, highly sexually promiscuous woman with daddy issues.”

Given Loomer’s well-documented historical past of stomach-churning feedback, Conway instructed Alberta, “I’ve had a conversation or two with the president since that I won’t reveal, and I liked what I heard.”

And whereas Conway stated she wasn’t thrilled with how Loomer comports herself on-line, she added that she doesn’t “really care” what the far-right web persona says.

“I don’t care what people screaming on social media say, it doesn’t really matter,” Conway added. “It matters to me if they’re anti-this or anti-that, and I know that they don’t reflect the principle.”

Loomer’s proximity to Trump has brought about alarm amongst a few of his conservative loyalists. Even right-wing stalwarts like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have spoken out in opposition to Loomer in public.
