On Friday, Laura Loomer, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, accused Arlene “A.J.” Delgado, a former employee of the ex-president, of lying about sexual assault allegations against Trump’s assistant, Jason Miller. Delgado, who shares a history with Miller and had a child with him, initially claimed that the encounter was consensual, but Loomer alleges a change in her narrative.
Social Media Accusations and Changing Stories
Loomer took to social media, branding Delgado a “stage 5 clinger” and accusing her of being a habitual liar regarding her relationships. Loomer, a far-right activist with ties to Trump, presented a restraining order allegedly filed by one of Delgado’s previous partners, accusing her of harassment. Loomer suggested that Delgado’s motive for the rape accusation against Miller was his refusal to leave his wife for her.
Speculation and Statements from the Smear Campaign
Loomer questioned Delgado’s credibility, insinuating that she might be financially motivated to make false accusations against a Trump administration employee. The accusation is accompanied by speculations about Delgado’s recent acceptance of payments on Venmo, raising questions about the timing of her allegations. Loomer further suggested that Delgado’s characterization of the alleged rape contradicts her previous description of a positive relationship with Miller.
Legal Conflict Emerging
In response to Loomer’s social media campaign, Delgado stands by her legal claims against Miller, accusing him of a range of offenses, including sexual coercion, rape, assault, abuse, battery, harassment, and sex trafficking. The lawsuit has attracted attention, and Delgado reports receiving death threats since coming forward. She expressed concern about the intimidation she faces for speaking out against what she describes as unacceptable behavior.
