Far-right commentator Laura Loomer is going on an anti-Republican tirade after reportedly being banned from traveling with former President Donald Trump.

The conspiracy theorist, who traveled with Trump to his recent presidential debate before appearing at a 9/11 event, stirred anger among Republicans who feel her presence is a detriment to the campaign.

Trump initially responded to the backlash by telling reporters that he "didn't control Laura," dubbing her a "free spirit."

But with Loomer seemingly unable to keep her outrageous and offensive remarks to herself---and with Trump reportedly receiving numerous phone calls from concerned advisors and donors---the far-right provocateur, according to the Washington Post, was ultimately barred from regularly traveling with Trump.

Not only that, Trump is said to have privately described Loomer as "crazy" to those close to him.

No idea, TBH, but I know that Newt Gingritch divorced his wife as she was fighting breast cancer.

Some people are just really scummy. Like, at least let the body get cold first.
