'Beyond the pale': Trump ally ridiculed for believing Nikki Haley can control the weather

A Donald Trump ally who is frequently cited by the former president has an interesting new conspiracy theory: Nikki Haley can control the weather.

Laura Loomer, who supports Trump and has even been floated by Donald Trump Jr. as a potential interim press secretary should his father get a second chance at the White House, posted about her theory on social media.

"Is the Deep State activating HAARP to disrupt the Iowa Caucus?" Loomer asked, citing the short-hand for the subject of weather-controlling conspiracy theories. "We all know [Haley] has a lot of friends in the defense industry and Military industrial complex."

Loomer continued:

"She’s losing in Iowa, and now Iowa is set to get hit with a ONCE IN A DECADE blizzard as Trump is set to dominate the Iowa Caucus. Is the Deep State using HAARP to rig the Iowa Caucus? Looks like weather manipulation to me. Take a look at this weather radar below and how the incoming snow storm accelerated out of nowhere."

Trump's former lawyer Jenna Ellis chimed in about the apparent theory.

"I realize it’s 2024 and I need to up my game, but I still did not have Haley controlling the weather as an actual defense for Trump performing poorly on my Bingo card," she wrote on Thursday.

The Intellectualist also pointed out the conspiracy theory to followers.

"The suggestion here is that Nikki Haley is conjuring up a snowstorm to harm Trump’s chances in Iowa," it wrote.

One political account included insults against Loomer.

"Alt-right nutjob activist Laura Loomer apparently believes Nikki Haley is using Deep State military connections to manipulate the weather and make it snow in Iowa ... to hurt Trump in the caucuses on Monday. Not making this up...," the account wrote.

A Haley-supporting account further replied with, "I know MAGA love conspiracy theories but I figured 'Nikki Haley is controlling the weather' would be beyond the pale for even them."
