According to a Vice report in 2020, Laura Loomer has been banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, PayPal, GoFundMe, Venmo, Lyft, Uber, and Uber Eats at various times. But one place she isn’t banned from is Donald Trump’s campaign plane.
According to a video that aired on Fox News Tuesday, as reported by Mediaite, when Trump’s plane landed in Philadelphia before the presidential debate, Loomer was shown exiting it.
A longtime social media influencer type who ran a couple of unsuccessful campaigns for Congress, Loomer has tied herself to Trump in recent years and was even reportedly in line for a job with Trump’s campaign in 2023 before cooler heads on the campaign talked the former president out of it; even Marjorie Taylor Greene cautioned Trump to distance himself from Loomer.
“Everyone who works for him thinks she’s a liability,” a Trump campaign source told NBC News of Loomer in January after she had a series of confrontations with staffers for Trump’s then-primary rivals, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.

Throughout the campaign, Loomer has served as something Trump has always had a lot of an informal, unofficial adviser.

Back on X following the Elon Musk purchase, which has increased the reach of her type of content, Loomer is known for frequently spreading conspiracy theories and racist invective, against Muslims, Black people and others. Just recently, she referred to Kamala Harris and prosecutors Letitia James and Dani Willis as speaking in “their little DEI Shaniqua voices.” Loomer has endorsed the Great Replacement theory, and has pushed conspiracy theories about the Trump assassination attempt, as well as January 6.
In a conspiracy theory that recalls Barack Obama birther conspiracies, Loomer shared what she claimed was Kamala Harris’ birth certificate, arguing that it does not state that she is “Black” or “African”; in fact, the birth certificate lists her father’s birthplace, accurately, as Jamaica. Just in the last week, after the Georgia mass shooting, she shared a conspiracy theory that “I think it’s really bizarre how every single time there’s a major election, there’s always a school shooting.” In July, she openly cheered the death of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), calling her “this ghetto bitch.”
Trump apparently is not bothered by the author of such disgusting words being associated with him- and in fact, he seems to have welcomed her to his campaing.
NewsNation reporter Libbey Dean also stated that several other familiar Trump World figures were on the plane to Philadelphia, including top campaign advisers Chris LaCivita, Steven Cheung, Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller and Corey Lewandowski, and Rep. Matt Gaetz.
