Laura Loomer's account on X has a million followers, and her posts with blatantly questionable information garner tens and hundreds of thousands of likes. Laura is not a supporter of Ukraine. In 2022, she compared Russia's invasion of Ukraine to illegal immigration to the United States. To find out who Laura Loomer is, her connections with Trump, and how she plays into the hands of the Kremlin, read Molfar's exposé.
Laura Loomer and Her Connection with Donald Trump
Laura Loomer is a self-proclaimed investigative journalist. She dreams of becoming Donald Trump's press secretary, but their "friendship" likely began long ago. For instance, in 2015, when Laura worked at Project Veritas, the organization received a $10k donation (1, 2, 3) from Donald Trump.
Project Veritas is an American organizationfounded by James O'Keefe in 2010. It conducts investigations and journalistic provocations. The organization is known for its undercover videos, capturing various incidents and activities that, in their view, demonstrate unethical or illegal behavior by individuals and organizations. Project Veritas is often accused of using manipulative editing techniques and engaging in unethical journalism.
In June 2017, Loomer and Jack Posobiec—an alt-right activist and supporter (1, 2) of then-President Trump — attempted to disrupt the play Julius Caesar, which drew parallels between the Roman emperor and Trump. Loomer was arrested and charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct.
In 2023, Laura Loomer's mother, Joanna Elizabeth Loomer, posted joint photos of Loomer and Trump on her Facebook page, mentioning their shared visit to a golf club in New Jersey. According to Joanna, Laura, and Trump are friends.
Donald Trump has posted a video captioned, "Thank you, Laura!" In the video, Laura Loomer responds to a question about why she is still single. She candidly admits that it's because she is obsessed with Trump. When her partner once pointed this out, she told him that Trump was “more important.”
"Yes, that’s true. Because Trump is more important than you. Trump is going to save our country. So, you must understand that President Trump is more significant than you. And if you think you’re more important than President Trump, then you probably have some kind of personality disorder. Needless to say, that was the end of that relationship. President Trump is now my number one priority."
Anti-Vaxxer: How Loomer Spreads Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation
Laura Loomer is a proponent of conspiracy theories, particularly those involving Big Pharma. This conspiracy theory suggests that large pharmaceutical companies inflate drug prices and ignore or discredit alternative treatments. Laura has written about this multiple times on her social media (1, 2, 3, 4). She also spreads anti-vaccine rhetoric. Loomer’s Facebook account follows a user named Yisroel Chaivkayam who is also actively spreading anti-vaccine messages (1, 2, 3).
Laura Loomer has also shared (1, 2) videos from the SGH SG Anon account on the video hosting platform Rumble via Facebook. These videos include content related to the Deep State conspiracy theory (1, 2).
On X, Loomer follows the account of Bret Weinstein. This user shares posts from American ultra-conservative journalist and Putin favorite Tucker Carlson. Bret Weinstein promotes anti-vaccine rhetoric, identifies with the anti-vaccine movement, and calls himself a "professor in exile."
What propaganda does Loomer publish?
In addition to spreading propaganda and disinformation on X, Laura Loomer also runs a Telegram channel.
March 2, 2022: Loomer Called for the Removal of Ukrainian Flags, Describing Them as “Disgusting”
In March 2022, Ukrainian flags were displayed in the U.S. Congress as part of the widespread support from the American government and the public. During this time, Congress passed several resolutions condemning Russia's invasion and calling for increased sanctions against Russia. However, Laura Loomer posted on Telegram, urging the removal of the Ukrainian flag.
March 24, 2022: “Low-Skilled Migrants from the Middle East”
Another Telegram Post from March 2022 — Laura claimed that under the guise of Ukrainian refugees, permission might be granted for individuals from the Middle East to enter.
June 1, 2022: “Drugs Are Deadlier Than Tanks"
Laura, in a manner typical of Russian propaganda, cynically claimed in another post that more Americans have died from drugs smuggled in by Chinese spies and illegal migrants. She asserted that this number exceeds the number of Ukrainian civilians killed as a result of the Russian invasion.
It's worth noting that, according to approximate estimates, over 20,000 civilians were killed in Mariupol alone. By the end of 2023, the UN reported over 9,000 civilian deaths and 17,000 injuries while also clarifying that the actual numbers are likely significantly higher due to the difficulties in counting amid ongoing combat operations.

July 14, 2024: Laura Loomer Posted Unverified Information About an Assassination Attempt on Trump
Shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump, a video allegedly filmed by the shooter began circulating in the media. The young man with long blonde hair says to the camera, "I hate Republicans, I hate Trump." His photo was also posted on X. However, it was later revealed that the video was a fake. The clip and photo likely belong to a prank blogger @jewgazing, who resembles the shooter. The prankster @jewgazing has since hidden his posts on X.

She frequently mentions her work with Project Veritas, but the details of this organization's work are somewhat ambiguous. She worked for this organization for about a year, from 2015 to 2016.
At the beginning of her career, she used the pseudonym Lima.
In 2015, Project Veritas conducted a campaign attempting to identify potential ISIS supporters among U.S. university administrations. As part of this campaign, Laura Loomer, who was then a student at Barry University, secretly recorded a video using a hidden camera. The video includes edited clips of dialogue exchanges. It was released with the interpretation that the university fully supported the establishment of an ISIS support club.
Following this incident, Laura was suspended (1, 2) from the university. One professor in the video sued her for secretly recording the conversation without consent.
From 2020 to 2023, she collaborated as a reporter with the far-right publication InfoWars, known for spreading fake news and conspiracy theories (1, 2).
