Donald Trump, for much of the last week, has been frequently seen with Laura Loomer, a social media hanger-on and sometime candidate for Congress, who is infamous for a long list of racist comments and incidents, which have gotten her banned from many different social media platforms.
Loomer flew on Trump’s plane to the debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday and was also seen with the former president at 9/11 commemoration ceremonies despite having trafficked in 9/11 trutherism in the past. This led to Loomer trading barbs with figures on the right, including her former friend Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Also, some photos have surfaced that seem to imply a more than purely professional relationship between the former president and Loomer.
In a Trump-like fashion, Loomer has repeatedly responded to those who have criticized her in a cruel, below-the-belt terms. This included earlier this week when she replied to criticism from Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), which called her “toxic,” by spreading rumors about Graham being gay.
The latest figure feuding with Loomer is Claudia Conway, the daughter of Trump’s White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, and Trump opponent George Conway.

On X, Claudia Conway ripped Loomer, including for disparaging “the campaign manager of Trump’s only successful campaign,” a reference to her mother Kellyanne.
Laura Loomer, who disparages women, minorities, and everyone in between, INCLUDING the campaign manager of Trump’s only successful campaign (ironic, right?), now seems to be Trump’s right-hand man. This is what that campaign is about, everyone. Appalling. @LauraLoomer you are…

Loomer responded with her typical charm:
You take your clothes off for Playboy and you have a father who worked with the Pedophile tied Lincoln Project.
Did they touch you too? Is that why you feel like you need to “reclaim your womanhood”?
Is that why you’re so deranged despite growing up with wealthy parents? https://t.co/1hjWP4VWIl pic.twitter.com/uqA6tHkv0c

George Conway, Claudia’s father, was a founder of The Lincoln Project, the group of lifelong Republican political operatives who are opposed to Trump, while another founder, former John McCain adviser John Weaver, was accused of sexual misconduct by several men in 2021. George Conway has not been accused of any wrongdoing of that variety, while it’s unclear why it would serve as a burn on Claudia Conway to imply that she had been sexually abused.
Her work for Playboy, meanwhile, has not involved posing nude.
Claudia, who at the time was 16 years old, emerged as a social media star during the 2020 campaign, making clear that she was more sympathetic politically to her father’s opposition to Trump than her mother’s support. George and Kellyanne announced their divorce in 2023.
Durign the 2020 campaign, Claudia Conway famously revealed on TikTok that her mother had tested positive for COVID-19, around the time Trump did.
