'Do not do it!': Laura Loomer, Internet urge Trump to retract statement on Ghislaine Maxwell pardon

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump’s surprising comment about possibly pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell has made right-wing ally, Laura Loomer, and his supporters desperately urge him to reverse his stance.

The Republican leader made the remark during a press conference on Monday, October 6, when asked whether he would consider pardoning the Jeffrey Epstein associate, who is serving a 20-year sentence.

Trump's answer on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell stuns reporters

During the news conference, CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins asked Donald Trump whether he was considering pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, to which the commander-in-chief suggested that he was unaware of critical facts in Maxwell’s case and told Collins he would have to "look at" her case to determine if a pardon was necessary.

"I haven't heard the name in so long," Trump said. "I would have to take a look at it," he told reporters, insisting that he needs to consult with the Department of Justice before making any decision. 

"That's sure bizarre!" said CNN’s Jake Tapper to his viewers, appearing taken aback by Trump’s remark

Laura Lommer worried about Trump's remark

The remark also appeared to worry staunch Trump ally Laura Lommer, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to write, "I strongly advise AGAINST anyone lobbying the Trump admin and the DOJ to Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell."

"Do not do it. I repeat. Do not do it. There will be no coming back from that. I repeat again. For the love of God. Do Not Do It," the conservative firebrand added, tagging Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Attorney General Pam Bondi in her post.

MAGA supporters echo Laura Loomer's words

Many of her followers agreed with her.

Common Sense Crusader wrote, "This would be the absolute worst thing that could happen for the current administration and republicans in general. I agree, there will be no coming back from it. The fact that he didn’t answer with a sharp 'NO' is bad enough."

Jeremy Daily expressed, We’re going to get Maxwell pardoned before we get Schiff arrested. What is this administration doing?

"Agreed. Just leave that alone. There is just no legitimate, sensible reason to explain to the American people why she’d be pardoned. No good would come from doing that," Citizen X expressed. 

"I can't even believe it's been floated as an idea. Completely unacceptable. I'm horrified anyone even thought to suggest it," A Ruthless wrote. 

"Good advice. The Epstein matter already has legs with the general public. It could become a real millstone around Trump's neck if it is perpetuated," John Walker offered.
