Former Trump White House press aide Sarah Matthews on Sunday spelled out why Donald Trump’s association with conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer is “so scary” in terms of a potential second Trump presidency and the role Loomer may play in it.

Loomer is “as fringe as fringe gets,” Matthews told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki of the far-right provocateur who in the last week alone has accompanied Trump to the presidential debate and a 9/11 commemoration ceremony.

It’s “really concerning” that Loomer now appears to be in Trump’s inner circle, said Matthews. Loomer appears “willing to defend anything that he says or does and he likes that, she’s the ultimate sycophant,” she added.

Loomer is “clearly angling” for a White House role, potentially even as press secretary, Matthews added. “It’s terrifying,” she said.

“It makes me nervous about what a potential staff for a second Trump term could look like,” Matthews added, noting how the so-called adults in the room pushed back on Trump’s worst instincts during his first administration but loyalists wouldn’t do that in a second.
