Responding to the accusations, Loomer took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend herself.
In her post, Loomer stated, "I never said 9/11 was an inside job. That is a blatant lie. In fact, I am aggressively outspoken about the dangers of Islamic migration and have said if we don’t close the border, we will have many more 9/11 events..."

In her continued defense, Laura Loomer attacked Kamala Harris, accusing the Vice President of enabling "jihadists."
"Notice the media won’t mention that because then people would see I never said Muslim terrorists didn’t commit 9/11. They did," Loomer wrote.

"Kamala Harris is a liar who laughed in the face of 9/11 victims when she and Biden made a plea deal with the 9/11 masterminds," Loomer claimed. "It’s disheartening that I am being called a 9/11 truther when I have spent many years of my life calling out Islamic terrorists."
