The fake news network CNN, which former President Donald Trump has denounced for peddling lies after lies, has reportedly used a photoshopped image of him alongside independent journalist Laura Loomer.
According to Modernity News, the "completely fake" image of Trump standing alongside Loomer "had been photoshopped to make him look grossly obese." The picture was displayed during a Sept. 13 segment hosted by Anderson Cooper.
"There's no way this is a 'mistake.' CNN knew the image was doctored and used it regardless," wrote Steve Watson of Modernity News. Even the parody X account behind the photoshopped image found it hilarious that Cooper credited them.
Loomer herself later reacted to the image in a post on X, tagging Cooper. She wrote: "Why is CNN using photoshopped [pictures] of [former] President Trump? Very unethical of you."
"The leftist media is going after Loomer, hurling all kinds of bizarre claims about her and Trump after she traveled with his campaign team on his plane to Philadelphia ahead of [the Sept. 10 presidential] debate," Watson continued. "They accused Loomer of being racist and spreading 'conspiracy theories,' and confronted Trump about her [on Sept. 13]."
"Laura's been a supporter, just like a lot of people are supporters. She speaks very positively of the campaign," the former president told a reporter. "I can't tell Laura what to do. She's a free spirit."
The same reporter pressed Trump about past "racist" remarks made by Loomer, which led him to answer: "I have to see what those remarks are. I don’t even know what you’re talking about."
"She may have said something based on what you’re telling me. I'll go take a look and I’ll put out a statement later on."
According to Modernity News, the previous "racist comments" by Loomer included a post on X that touched on Vice President Kamala Harris' Indian heritage – which she often uses to curry favor with leftist voters. Loomer's post alleged that if the Democratic presidential nominee wins in November, "the White House will smell like curry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center." (Related: Kamala the Chameleon changes identity to "Indian” or “black” depending on which group she’s addressing.)
Loomer denies "affair" with Trump – which the mainstream media accused her of having
Trump later issued a statement in response to Loomer's comments, which read: "Laura Loomer doesn't work for the campaign. She's a private individual citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statement she made. But like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the radical left Marxists and fascists violently attack and smear me – even to the point of doing anything to stop their political opponent."
But Loomer herself isn't immune to the smears coming from the mainstream media. She was accused of having an affair with Trump, an accusation the journalist vehemently denied during the Sept. 14 edition of her "Loomer Unleashed" podcast.
Loomer rebuked claims of her being in a romantic affair with Trump, saying that such accusations are "malicious" and "disrespectful" to the real estate mogul and his wife Melania. The independent journalist also framed the rumors as part of a media conspiracy.
"They've taken it so far. You know, if I was a leftist journalist, if I was a Democrat – oh my God, the media would be up in arms if the Republican media was doing this to a left-wing journalist. 'Oh my God, they're misogynist, they're bullying a woman, they're trying to Monica Lewinsky her, they're trying to discredit the fact that she's a working woman,'" Loomer claimed.
"But some of us women, we actually work hard. And some [of] us women have no desire to have sexual affairs with politicians or men with elite political status to climb the ladder," she continued. These remarks were a swipe at Harris, who reportedly "slept her way to the top" with several politicians – most prominent of them being former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
