When reporter Max Blumenthal went to a cafe in Tehran one night a few weeks ago to upload videos from his reporting on the funeral of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei, he began seeing social media posts from Trump ally Laura Loomer targeting him, including one that suggested he should be taken off the plane by US Marshalls when he lands back in the US ... [and] detained".

I began to prepare myself for being harassed on my return," Blumenthal said.
