Trump attends 9/11 event with a far-right activist who pushed a conspiracy theory about the tragedy

Donald Trump attended a Sept. 11 remembrance Wednesday alongside a far-right activist who has pushed a false narrative that the terrorist attack was “an inside job.”

Laura Loomer, a Trump ally, joined him at a fire station in lower Manhattan, where he and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, met and took photos with firefighters. Some members of the station died responding to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Throughout the day Wednesday, Loomer posted videos to social media documenting Trump’s visits to commemorate 9/11. She also attended the presidential debate Tuesday night and traveled on Trump’s plane.

Just last year, Loomer posted a lengthy message on X that included a video that falsely said that “9/11 was an Inside Job!”
