'I've Pushed Back': Kellyanne Conway Says She Is Having 'Conversations' With Donald Trump After Laura Loomer Affair Rumors Swirl
Donald Trump ally Kellyanne Conway said she’s had conversations with the former president about his affiliation with controversial conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer.
During a recent interview with Tim Alberta at The Atlantic Festival in D.C., Conway said, "I prefer Lara Trump. That would be my favorite Lara to be around him. She’s doing a great job at the RNC (Republican National Committee)."
The political advisor also claimed she had multiple conversations with the ex-president about Laura and is "optimistic" about his response to her concerns.
"I've pushed back on that. And I've had a conversation or two with the president since that I won't reveal, and I liked what I heard. I will just say that, and I don't really care what she says, I don’t care what people screaming on social media say, it doesn't really matter," she said. "It matters to me if they're anti-this or anti-that, and I know that they don’t reflect the principle."
Kellyanne commented on Laura's recent attack on her daughter, Claudia Conway, when asked if she would have allowed Loomer on Donald’s plane to his ABC News debate with Harris.
"No — I don’t know her, I don’t know that I've ever been in the same room with her. People have shown me what she has said. I'm not a big fan of Twitter, I just don't live on social media, I’m not willing to live online, I live offline with all of you here. It just tastes, looks, smells, and is better," she explained. "So I didn't know this person so when I learned more about her and what she was saying, including to my 19-year-old daughter — it’s unacceptable."

As OK! previously reported, the former president was accused of having an affair with Laura while his wife, Melania Trump, remains absent from the campaign trail.
Several images have been circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing Donald, 78, getting handsy with the 31-year-old MAGA supporter.
The Republican nominee defended his relationship with Loomer during a recent campaign stop at his golf course in Los Angeles, Calif., and told reporters she is "very spirited."
