The bombastic former Breitbart News editor was apprehended in Louisiana at an airport, according to TMZ, but the circumstances behind his detention were not immediately clear.

The 41-year-old Brit served as an unpaid summer intern for former US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2022, and worked on West’s stunt 2024 White House bid, serving as his director of political operations.

He famously arranged a sit-down dinner between President Trump and the “Heartless” rapper, which was also attended by white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

    It’s quicker than I thought though. I thought they’d go for the black republicans first, not the gay, white dudes. I thought they were more racist than homophobic, especially with Theil funding their evil.

      It’s mainly because Loomer made him a target, and he has no protection within the administration after MTG’s revolt. Plus, it’s a shot across the bow to Candance Owens, who isn’t playing ball either, but she’s got too big an audience to fuck with directly… for now.

      I have a feeling that her days are numbered given that she’s been attacking Israel and Jews in general for longer than Bibi has been indicted.
