The Wall St. Journal's Editorial Board slammed Donald Trump's campaign on Sunday morning, questioning whether he is intentionally losing the race by keeping Laura Loomer around.
The Wall St. Journal is obviously a conservative-leaning paper owned by Rupert Murdoch. Of course, Murdoch has his own issues with Donald Trump and doesn't like him as a candidate.
Still, Trump talking a 9/11 conspiracy theorist to 9/11 memorial events draws massive unwanted attention. The board wrote in its piece:
"All of this would be ignorable, except that others close to Mr. Trump say he is listening to Ms. Loomer’s advice,” the editors wrote. “People in the Trump campaign are trying to get her out of the former President’s entourage, to no avail. Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Ms. Loomer is damaging the former President’s election chances."
The board continues:
"The press is naturally having fun with all this and asked Mr. Trump about it on Friday. “Laura’s a supporter,” he said. “I have a lot of supporters.” He added that “she’s a strong person; she’s got strong opinions,” and he wondered why people are asking about her.
They’re asking because they know Mr. Trump’s association with Ms. Loomer feeds the concern among voters that Mr. Trump listens to crazy courtiers who flatter him and play to his vanity. Is this who the next four years are going to feature?"
