MAGA civil war gets uglier as Trump first pal Laura Loomer hurls Qatar money 'lie' at Tucker Carlson [View all]

MAGA civil war gets uglier as Trump first pal Laura Loomer hurls Qatar money ‘lie’ at Tucker Carlson (The Independent)

‘Tucker is controlled by Muslims. People need to wake up and stop pretending like this is a conspiracy theory,” Laura Loomer exclaimed this week, prompting Carlson’s business partner to fire back: ‘This is a lie.’

The MAGA civil war over the specter of America joining Israel’s conflict with Iran has grown increasingly ugly in recent days as Donald Trump superfan and “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer is now accusing Tucker Carlson of being bankrolled by Qatar, prompting Carlson’s team to call out Loomer’s “lie.”

Loomer, who generally sides with the hardcore “America First” wing of Trump’s coalition, has split from the MAGA isolationists and found common cause with the hawkish Republicans and right-wing commentators who are incessantly nudging the president to take military action against Tehran.

In doing so, Loomer — who has the president’s ear — has also pledged to snitch on any of her fellow conservative pundits and influencers who “is sh*t talking Trump right now,” anointing herself the “loyalty enforcer” of MAGA.
