WASHINGTON — Donald Trump angered at least some New Yorkers on Wednesday, Sept. 11, when he brought far-right 9/11 conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer to an event commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
There are 10 Republicans in New York’s congressional delegation. None have said anything publicly about Loomer’s false claims about 9/11, or about Trump bringing her to Ground Zero to commemorate the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.Four responded. Of those, only one directly denounced Loomer. A spokesperson for Rep. Anthony D’Esposito didn’t address Loomer specifically but criticized anyone spreading conspiracy theories about 9/11.
