Laura Loomer Rages After Maher Suggests She’s in ‘Arranged Relationship’ With Trump to Affect Election: ‘Beyond the Pale’

Far-right activist Laura Loomer floated suing Bill Maher after the comedian suggested on Real Time that she and former President Donald Trump are having an affair.

On Friday’s Real Time , Maher noted that Loomer had previously suggested Taylor Swift is in an “arranged relationship” with Travis Kelce to influence the 2024 presidential election before he accused Loomer of the same thing. Swift recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris .

“I think maybe Laura Loomer’s in an arranged relationship to influence the election because she’s very close to Trump. She’s 31, looks like his type,” Maher said.

He then referenced an “editorial” he previously did on the show that boils down to “who’s Trump fucking?”

“Because I said, it’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long. And it’s not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week,” Maher said. “I think it might be Laura Loomer, I’m just saying.”

So to be a, to be a 911 truther. This is what I mean about Captain Queeg. We’re at that end stage, I really think. Here’s my question because she said, Laura Loomer said Taylor Swift, she believes, is in an arranged relationship with Travis Kelce to influence the 2024 election. I think maybe, Laura Loomer’s in an arranged relationship to affect the election. Because she’s very close to Trump. She’s 31, looks like his type. We did an editorial here a few years ago who – oh you’re remembering it already. It was basically, Who’s Trump Fucking? Because I said, you know, it’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long. And and it’s not Melania. I think we may have our, our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer. I’m just saying.

Loomer fired back in an X post, calling Maher’s statements “beyond the pale” and accusing the “mainstream media” of pushing a “coordinated attack” against her by suggesting there is more to her relationship to Trump than professional.

“I should sue Bill Maher for Defamation,” she wrote. “This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie. I have never in my life seen such a coordinated attack by the mainstream Media, the White House and leftist personalities to target a private citizen and investigative journalist simply because I flew on a plane and I support Donald Trump.”

She accused Maher of “maliciously and deliberately defaming” her and disrespecting Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump in her threat to sue.

Critics have honed in on Trump’s relationship to Loomer as she’s been seen traveling with him as he’s spread false claims like Haitian immigrants kidnapping and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, something town officials have flatly denied. Loomer has been known to spread conspiracy theories and she’s made numerous controversial statements over the years, including saying the White House would “smell like curry” if Harris wins. She recently threatened to “expose” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after the fellow MAGA supporter said Loomer does not have the “right mentality” to advise Trump.

There is no proof of any kind of intimate relationship between Trump and Loomer, but that has not stopped critics from making light jabs and suggestions. Michael Steele suggested the pair were “too close” after seeing a picture of them together.

“You showed that picture of Loomer sitting, standing up under Donald Trump. First question crossed my mind was, where the hell is Melania?! That’s a little too close for a pic,” he said .

Trump was asked in a Friday press conference about “concerns” over his relationship to Loomer, and he defended her as a “strong person” and loyal supporter.

“Laura is a supporter. I don’t know. She is, she is a strong person. She’s got strong opinions and I don’t know what she said, but that’s not up to me,” he said .
