Far-right influencer and Donald Trump confidante Laura Loomer is turning up the heat on her own party as she continues to sound the alarm about “Nazi” figures in the GOP ranks.
Loomer, who has mounted multiple failed bids for Congress and has such influence over Trump that she has gotten multiple figures fired from his administration, has frequently pushed conspiracy theories like 9/11 Trutherism and has said she supports white nationalism — however, she is also Jewish, and the recent welcoming of overt neo-Nazi figures into the Republican Party has her scrambling.
“I’m going to say it. The GOP has a Nazi problem. And the more we pretend like we don’t, the worse it’s going to get. We do. Don’t tell me we don’t,” wrote Loomer on X. She’s fine with criticism of Israel, she stressed, and she even supports cutting aid to Israel —however, “When you have top podcasters saying Jewish Americans are disloyal, saying Trump is controlled by Jews, saying Jews need to self deport to Israel, Gen Z glorifying Hitler and doing Seig Hiels all over Tik Tok … That is a Nazi problem.”
Loomer received much pushback from far-right trolls that generally thrive in her feed, and one account whose bio advertised “Generation Zyklon” — a reference to the gas the Nazis used to murder prisoners at death camps — proclaimed the GOP actually has a “Jew problem.”
“Thank you for confirming that the Jew haters aren’t just ‘talking about Israel’ and that the GOP does in fact have a Nazi problem,” Loomer wrote in reply. “If this was solely about Israel, you would have said ‘Israel’. But it’s always been about attacking Jews. The GOP will lose the midterms.”
This is not the only public break Loomer has had with the direction of the GOP. At the end of last year, she warned that Trump’s embrace of tech billionaire Elon Musk was not going to end well.
