Donald Trump Jr. recently told his online followers that he would “love to see” far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer as former President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary if he gets reelected.
It has been noted that during a Thursday airing of his show on Rumble, Trump Jr. concurred with a comment from a fan claiming they want to see Loomer leading the White House press briefings during Trump’s second term. Trump Jr. noted he wants her in the job for at least a few days “to watch D.C. just explode.”
Loomer, who is a self-described “proud Islamophobe,” has spread misinformation about mass shootings and Covid-19, and has been banned from multiple platforms for hate speech. Progressive watchdog Media Matters for America was first to report on Trump Jr.’s remarks on Friday morning.
“She’s a bulldog, man, I will say that. She gets after it. I’d love to see her as press secretary just to watch D.C. just explode. There’s a couple of people that you could put in positions like that, you know,” Trump Jr. said.
Trump Jr. also mentioned he would love for Kash Patel and Mike Davis to serve as interim attorney generals for the Department of Justice under his father’s watch:
“We talk about, like, you know, Mike Davis as attorney general, one of those guys. You almost have to. Just put them in as interim even just to send that shot across the bow of the swamp, you know? Like — you want to play…You want to play? And then you can get someone, you know, the guys that wouldn’t get affirmed or otherwise. But let like Mike Davis, you know, Kash Patel be like interim AGs.
Put Laura Loomer as press secretary for just a couple of days just to, you know, these losers in the — they’ll figure out exactly how easy their job is, you know, before that, so that’d be pretty funny.”
