Respond to Trump breaks his silence on 'free spirit' Laura Loomer (msn.com) Donald Trump claimed to be completely unaware of the growing controversy around conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer as he faced questions about why he had allowed a woman who said 9/11 was an inside job to travel with him for commemoration events this week. Loomer has become a regular fixture at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and this week made racist comments about Trump's opponent Kamala Harris . But at a press conference at his Los Angeles golf club in front of the Pacific Ocean on Friday, Trump refused to criticize her. 'I don't control Laura,' he said. 'I can't tell Laura what to do. She's a supporter.' Instead he called her a 'free spirit' and claimed to know nothing about a post in which his supporter said 'the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center' if Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants won the election. Trump spoke to reporters for more than an hour, railing against debate moderators once again, slamming California's political leaders and taking aim at Haitian migrants. President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump for spreading false reports of migrants eating pets, saying it was leading to attacks on the Haitian community. The 'Haitian American community is under attack right now,' Biden said Friday at the White House during an event for Black Excellence. He called on Trump to stop making such statements. But he faced most questions about Loomer, a 31-year-old far right activist. Her presence on Trump's private jet has alarmed many of the former president's allies who believe that she is hurting his chances of winning over new voters. He shrugged off questions about why she rode on his plane this week to a 9/11 event in Pennsylvania, and the memorial to flight 93. 'A lot of people do,' he said. 'It's a very big plane.' Instead he claimed ignorance about her history of controversial remarks. He promised to read up on her comments and issue a statement. After the event at his golf club he is due to head to a fundraiser hosted by billionaire software developer Tom Siebel and his wife Stacey. Tickets start at $3000 all the way up to $500,000 for a couple to on the host committee at the event in the Bay Area town of Woodside. Trump is playing catchup with Harris who has had a fundraising bonanza since entering the race in late July.
