WASHINGTON, DC: Laura Loomer has claimed that Kristi Noem knew about her husband, Bryon Noem’s, alleged cross-dressing, as well as his online activities.

The conspiracy theorist also mentioned Kristi's alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski in her latest social media post. Lewandowski worked under the politician in the Department of Homeland Security.

Laura Loomer accuses Kristi Noem of knowing everything about her husband

Loomer posted on X, “Kristi Noem said her family is blindsided by revelations her husband is a cross dresser and g*y. That isn’t true. She knew all about her husband which is why she lives with Corey Lewandowski in the DC area.”



The far-right political activist also asserted that this was the reason why the married couple did not divorce each other. “It was their arrangement. Literally everyone in the admin has known this forever. I’m shocked it didn’t come out earlier,” she stated.

Loomer then suggested in her post that both the husband and wife could have moved forward in their lives after taking divorce. “I feel bad for Corey’s wife. She is the widow of a firefighter who was killed on 9/11,” she added.

Kristi and Bryon have been married since 1992. They also share two daughters and a son. The duo welcomed their firstborn, Kassidy, in 1994, followed by Kennedy in 1997. They had their son Booker in 2002.

About her family, the former DHS secretary had proudly said a few years ago, “I think people know me and we are such a transparent family. I don’t know of another elected official that puts their family life out there, with their kids.”

“All the funny, awkward, difficult moments, we are an open book. I think that is what this job requires in this day and age, you have to be real. We tend to schedule public events and gather our family and go spend time with people,” the 54-year-old had added.

On the other hand, Lewandowski has been married to Alison since 2005. But Alison was earlier married to Brian Kinney, a Massachusetts native who was killed in the 9/11 attacks. Following his death, Alison reportedly reconnected with Lewandowski, who was Kinney’s friend.

He said, “They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad. I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it.”
