The Washington Post reports:
Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist known for headline-grabbing stunts after getting kicked off social media platforms, won a Florida GOP primary on Tuesday — and then was quickly congratulated by her district’s most famous official resident.
President Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago estate is in Loomer’s district, retweeted at least four posts about her win and tweeted himself, “Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet!”
Trump’s public support for a candidate who once called herself a #ProudIslamophobe, has called Muslims “savages,” and has contributed to conspiracy site Infowars drew quick backlash from some critics.
Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet! https://t.co/pKZp35dUYr

Laura Loomer is a Parkland and Sandy Hook hoaxer. She has no place in the Republican Party I know! https://t.co/EJyLSxtdHK

Laura Loomer once chained herself to Twitter’s front door and demanded to be unbanned. Two years later, she’s a Republican congressional nominee. https://t.co/f3xDKegZIE

A week after the Republican party chose a QAnon supporting 9/11 truther they nominated Laura Loomer.
If you’re wondering why some want to burn the party to the ground, this is it. The fringe that is shaping the GOP won’t go away if Trump loses – they’ll only be more emboldened. https://t.co/tB6Gm1HvMR

JT Lewis, who is a member of @TeamTrump and can often be found in the president’s replies praising him and attacking his enemies, is against POTUS support of Laura Loomer.
