On Friday, Laura Loomer reportedly discussed with Steve Bannon the removal of her account verification by Elon Musk’s X after she criticized his support for immigration visas for high-skilled workers and his connections to China.
Bannon requested that Loomer provide a detailed explanation of her disagreements with Musk and the current status of her X account.
“I also have a problem with his ties to China. Okay. I really do feel that it’s inappropriate for a guy who is being funded by well, you know, he’s closely aligned with Xi Jinping, Li Qiang of the CCP. They support his Shanghai Gigafactory. Why does this guy have unfettered access to President Trump?” Loomer said in response.
“And what are these, the national security implications of this? I know that you’ve spoken out about this, and we really need to have an honest conversation about this. At what point do we say, thank you so much for supporting President Trump and donating to his ground game, but these conflicts are inappropriate and they’re going to create potential controversy for President Trump and his nominees.” she added.
“In the Trump administration, we need to have an honest conversation about this that isn’t blinded by people’s lovefest for a technocratic billionaire. We need to protect President Trump from conflicts.” Loomer continued.
“The guys that are going in to advise on tech are openly tweeting about their investment portfolios in Palantir while they’re appointing all of their Palantir associates to serve in the Trump administration. These are inappropriate conflicts that we would be criticizing the Democrats for, and we need to have the same standards. We need to have the same standards or else we’re no better than the Democrats.” she concluded.
Several prominent members of Trump’s administration have been hired from Palantir, a software corporation founded by Peter Thiel.
