We've reached the tipping point of insanity.
In the Oval Office, a far-right activist pushes Trump to fire national security staff.
Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and promoter of conspiracy theories, met on Wednesday with President Trump in the Oval Office, where she pressed for him to fire National Security Council staff members whom she deemed disloyal to him, according to seven people with knowledge of the events.
Mr. Trump may act on some of Ms. Loomers recommendations, two of the people said. Ms. Loomer walked into the White House with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character and loyalty of numerous N.S.C. officials, two of the people said. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the national security adviser Michael Waltz, who was also in the meeting.

(189,698 posts)Ms. Loomer was seated directly across the desk from the president. Seated next to her was Representative Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania congressman who was one of Mr. Trumps biggest allies in his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Mr. Perry had a separate list of staff concerns he wanted to discuss with the president, and his planned meeting with Mr. Trump collided with Ms. Loomers, one of the people briefed on the events said.
Mr. Perry and one of his aides did not immediately respond to text messages seeking comment.
During the roughly 30-minute encounter, those people said, attendees discussed dismissing a number of government workers. Mr. Waltz attended only briefly, so that he could defend his staff, according to one of the people briefed on what took place.

Who's up next? Steve Bannon?
