After Donald Trump posted a sadistic message blaming Rob Reiner’s death on “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” most of the world recoiled. But Laura Loomer did the opposite. In a frantic show of loyalty, she dug up a long-debunked fake tweet and used it to justify Trump’s cruelty.
Rob Reiner and his wife were killed by their son, who was struggling with mental health issues and substance abuse. Trump’s Truth Social post in response to the murder was widely condemned as vile, inhumane, and detached from reality. Republicans, journalists, and even a majority of right-wing commentators criticized the post for turning a family tragedy into a political smear. However, Laura Loomer saw it as an opportunity to please Trump.
