In the recurring theater of American political life, Laura Loomer — a vocal ally of Donald Trump — has once again drawn public censure for racist remarks, reopening questions that democratic societies have long struggled to answer: who bears responsibility for inflammatory speech, and what accountability, if any, follows from it? The episode is less a singular event than a chapter in an unresolved national conversation about the boundaries of political expression and the moral weight carried by those who stand close to power.
