Laura Loomer

• 1. Introduction

  ›

  Laura Loomer is an American activist whose surname has become a verb. To be "Loomered" is to be fired or damaged in some way for alleged disloyalty to Donald Trump. Few people earn that kind of reputation, and fewer earn it after being shut out of so many public spaces.

  This documentary follows her from a university campus to the Oval Office. It asks how a woman who built her name on provocation came to be feared inside a presidential administration. It asks what she says she believes, and what others say about those beliefs. It also asks how often the claims she has spread have survived scrutiny, and whether anyone pays her to take up particular causes.

  ›

  Laura Elizabeth Loomer was born in Tucson, Arizona, on the 21st of May 1993. Her father is a rheumatologist and her mother is a nurse. She and her two brothers grew up in Arizona, in what she has called a "very violent household". She blamed that mostly on her younger brother's mental illness. Her parents separated when she was 12, and she was sent to boarding school soon afterward. She is Jewish.

  Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts lasted only one semester for her. She says she left because she felt targeted for being conservative. She then moved to Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and graduated in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.

  In March 2015, Loomer hid a camera to record university officials discussing a proposed student club. Its suggested name was "Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria". The school apparently asked only that it be renamed "Students in Support of the Middle East". James O'Keefe of Project Veritas released the footage and claimed it showed an official unbothered by an on-campus group backing ISIS. Project Veritas is a right-wing organization known for secretly recorded and deceptively edited undercover investigations of media outlets and left-leaning groups. The university suspended Loomer for violating its student code of conduct. A professor in the video filed criminal charges against her for recording him without his knowledge. She was then an honors student in her senior year and president of the Young Republicans Club.

  In July 2015, a Hillary Clinton campaign official made an accusation. Loomer and two other women, posing as Clinton supporters, had tried to "entrap" campaign workers into accepting illegal cash donations. The official said the campaign had followed the law.

  On the 8th of November 2016, election day, Loomer went to a polling station in a burqa. She asked for a ballot under the name Huma Abedin, as part of a Project Veritas stunt. On the 10th of June 2017, she addressed "anti-Sharia" marchers in New York City at an event organized by ACT for America. She condemned "liberals who aligned themselves with Sharia law". She also put a burqa on the Fearless Girl statue at its original Bowling Green spot in lower Manhattan. A few days later she left Project Veritas for the Canadian far-right website The Rebel Media.

  On the 16th of June 2017, Loomer walked onto the stage during a Shakespeare in the Park performance of Julius Caesar in New York City. The title character had just been assassinated. The Delacorte Theatre production had recast Caesar as Donald Trump, with a Slovenian-accented actress as his wife, Calpurnia. Before security escorted her off, Loomer shouted, "This is violence against Donald Trump! Stop the normalization of political violence against the right! This is unacceptable!" She was arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing. Earlier that week, the play had drawn criticism for showing women and minorities carrying out the killing of a U.S. president.

  The Public Theater New York said that, while they were "champions" of the First Amendment, the disruption was caused by "social media". On the 19th of June, Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post wrote that she doubted Loomer was truly offended. In Rosenberg's view, Loomer wanted attention and a US$1,000 bounty that the alt-right personality Mike Cernovich had offered to anyone who disrupted the production. A few days after her arrest, Loomer told the Fox News program Hannity that she had known the stunt would bring criminal charges. She accused the left of "systematically and programmatically" using "free expression as a pretext to incite violence".

  Six hours before the play began, Ezra Levant bought a "Free Laura" website to collect money for her arrest expenses. Levant owned Rebel Media, Loomer's employer. Loomer also promoted a crowdfunding page, which raised $12,385 from 241 contributors. That was more than the usual penalties for the charges she faced.

  In August 2017, Loomer was one of several counter-jihad activists named "Shillman Fellows", with Robert J. Shillman contributing to her salary. In September 2017, after only three months, she resigned from Rebel Media. Since then she has occasionally reported for the conspiracy-theory website InfoWars, as well as the Geller Report and the American Freedom Defense Initiative.

  On the 14th of January 2019, Loomer met several men in a Home Depot parking lot, whom she claimed were undocumented. She persuaded them to jump a fence with her at Nancy Pelosi's home in Napa, California. The group pitched a tent on the lawn to protest immigration until police removed them. Nobody was arrested. A few days later, Loomer tried to interrupt a speaker at the 2019 Women's March in Washington, D.C. She called the march a "Nazi" organization. As security led her away, she shouted, "What about the Jews?", an apparent reference to a recent antisemitism controversy involving the national organizers.

  On the 30th of January 2019, Loomer and others climbed the wall around the California Governor's Mansion in Sacramento. They wore Mexican serapes and sombreros, and one wore a large false mustache. They said they were protesting Governor Gavin Newsom's stance on immigration. Police arrested them, issued citations and released them within a few hours. Later that day the group provoked a confrontation outside a Mexican restaurant in downtown Sacramento and live-streamed it. Money was about to become a problem, because three payment services were only weeks away from cutting her off.

• 3. Banned and Sued

  ›

  Medium banned Loomer in February 2017, just after it widened its policies against disinformation and hate speech. On the 1st of November 2017, the day after a terrorist attack in New York City, she tweeted about a conference. She said she was late because she could not find a "non Muslim cab or @Uber @lyft driver". The suspect turned out to be a former Uber driver. Loomer then called for a new ride-sharing company that would not employ Muslims. Her day-long tweetstorm blamed all Muslims for the actions of radicals such as ISIS. Uber and Lyft each announced that she had violated their guidelines and banned her. At the time she called herself a "#ProudIslamophobe" on Twitter and urged a complete and permanent ban on Muslims entering the United States.

  In August 2018, Loomer disrupted a campaign event for Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar, which Rashida Tlaib attended. She shouted questions implying that Tlaib was antisemitic. In November, Twitter banned her for violating its rules against hateful behavior. Loomer said the ban followed a tweet calling Omar "anti-Jewish" and a member of a religion in which "homosexuals are oppressed". She added that women are "abused" and "forced to wear the hijab" in that religion. A week after the ban, she handcuffed herself to a door at Twitter's New York City headquarters while wearing a yellow "Jude" patch. After about two hours, police removed the handcuffs with a bolt cutter at her request. She was not arrested.

  In February 2019, PayPal, GoFundMe and Venmo all banned her. Right Wing Watch had reported that donations she solicited were going to the address of United West. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists that organization as an anti-Muslim hate group. Loomer said "left wing terrorists and tech tyrants" were "trying to shut her down". She vowed to "stop at nothing to make sure justice is served for the way Silicon Valley has disenfranchised me". Facebook and Instagram also banned her in 2019, along with several other right-wing activists, for posting misinformation and extremism.

  In May 2021, Loomer said Clubhouse banned her hours after she joined the social app. That same year she published a book, Loomered: How I became the most banned woman in the world. In December 2022, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, the account that had been shut down was reinstated.

  In March 2018, Loomer used press credentials to attend the trial of Noor Salman, wife of the gunman in the June 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. Her credentials were revoked after she harassed Salman's family. When she came back the next day, a U.S. Marshal removed her. In April 2018, she disrupted an event promoting James Comey's book A Higher Loyalty and was taken out of the building by security. In October 2018, police escorted her from a campaign event for Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for governor of Florida.

  In September 2018, Loomer briefly interrupted a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing from the visitor gallery. She accused Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who was testifying, of censoring conservatives and trying to tilt elections toward Democrats. Republican representative Billy Long began a mock auction chant, as if selling her mobile phone, until she was escorted out. The audience responded with laughter and applause.

  In 2019, the Conservative Political Action Conference banned her after she used her press credentials to follow reporters into a media-only area. They had declined to speak with her. She heckled CNN reporter Oliver Darcy with questions about internet censorship and social media bans. In 2021, she confronted Dorsey again at the Bitcoin 2021 conference, alleging he had censored people and interfered with elections, and she was removed.

  In 2018, after the bans, Loomer sued Twitter, Apple, Facebook and Google, represented by the right-wing activist lawyer Larry Klayman. The suit alleged that the platforms had colluded to suppress conservative speech. A district court dismissed it, and the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal. The courts reasoned that social media companies cannot violate the First Amendment because they are not governmental bodies. In 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear her petition.

  Loomer and her company, Illoominate Media, also sued the Council on American-Islamic Relations, claiming it had conspired with Twitter to ban her. Nathan Bernard, known for pranking prominent alt-right personalities, admitted he had invented the rumor that the council was behind the ban. In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled against her. It said Loomer and her company "offer nothing beyond vague speculation to indicate that CAIR-Florida was involved in the alleged conspiracy". In 2021, a U.S. magistrate judge ordered her to reimburse more than $120,000 in attorney's fees.

  In 2019, Loomer lost a suit against Representative Rashida Tlaib. It alleged that Tlaib "violently grabbed" her cellphone during the August 2018 disruption while Loomer questioned her about foreign policy. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that video of the incident has audio of Loomer questioning Tlaib about Hamas. She asked whether Tlaib would admit it is a terrorist organization. In 2022, Loomer sued Facebook and Twitter again, arguing that their anti-hate speech policies amounted to racketeering. The case was dismissed on grounds of both res judicata and Section 230. An appeal failed in 2025, and the Supreme Court declined to hear her further appeal.

  In 2024, Loomer sued Bill Maher and HBO for defamation after Maher suggested that she and Trump were having an extramarital affair. A federal judge dismissed that lawsuit in April 2026. Her ambitions, though, had always run past lawsuits toward a more conventional prize. In 2020, she asked Florida voters to send her to Congress.

• 4. Ballots and Trump

  ›

  Loomer won the Republican primary for Florida's 21st congressional district in August 2020, defeating five opponents. She took 14,500 of the 34,000 votes cast, or 43%. Donald Trump tweeted after the win, "Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet!" She also collected endorsements from Florida Representative Matt Gaetz and from Trump adviser Roger Stone. The White House later played down the president's support, saying, "He hasn't done a deep dive into the statements by these two particular women." The other woman was Marjorie Taylor Greene, also a congressional candidate. Twitter and Facebook said they would still not unban Loomer.

  Democrat Lois Frankel, who had held the seat since 2012, beat her in the general election. The district was heavily Democratic, and Loomer's candidacy was regarded as a long shot.

  In September 2021, Loomer announced a run for Florida's 11th district, having first intended to run again in the 21st. She challenged Republican Representative Daniel Webster in the primary, backed by the group American Liberty Fund. Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar endorsed her, as did Roger Stone and Michael Flynn. On the 23rd of August 2022, she lost with 44.2% to Webster's 51.1%, and she refused to concede. In her election night speech she said, "I'm not conceding because I'm a winner, the reality is our Republican party is broken to its core." She railed against unspecified voter fraud and "big-tech election interference".

  In 2023, Loomer started her Rumble show, Loomer Unleashed. It features monologues, pranks and confrontations with politicians in public. In April of that year, Trump sought to hire her for his presidential campaign, but his senior advisors successfully talked him out of it. In November 2023, Donald Trump Jr. said, "I'd love to see her as press secretary just to watch D.C. just explode." Trump himself has called her "very opinionated".

  Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had endorsed Loomer in 2022, later called her "mentally unstable and a documented liar". The two have clashed online. Loomer said Greene was "no longer an ally to America First", and she questioned Greene's Christianity and loyalty to Trump. She also described Ron DeSantis as a tyrant and attacked him personally online. Trump's aides are said to worry about her inflammatory statements and her backing for the fringes of the Republican Party.

  Loomer told The Washington Post in 2024, "I'm happy to dedicate all my time to helping Trump, because if Trump doesn't get back in, I don't have anything." She appeared often beside the then-candidate at public events. Trump posted on Truth Social that she was not working for the campaign and was "a private citizen and longtime supporter." Trump brought her to Philadelphia for the 10th of September debate against Kamala Harris. The next day she attended the September 11 commemorations beside him. She had previously endorsed claims that 9/11 "was an inside job".

  Anonymous sources on the 2024 campaign said Loomer influenced Trump to endorse false conspiracy theories, including the claim that Harris hid her Black heritage. Loomer also tweeted a stereotype about Indians. If Harris were elected, she wrote, "the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center." Harris is half East Indian. Greene condemned the remark as "appalling and extremely racist".

  That year Loomer filmed herself eating dog food on her Rumble channel, as part of a promotional deal with a pet food brand called Pawsitive. Days before the election, she accused Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of misrepresenting a fundraiser for Trump's campaign. She claimed the money would repay the Democratic Party because of Kennedy's earlier primary run with it. Members of the MAGA movement, including Roger Stone, pushed back online. By September 2024, some Trump supporters and others had voiced concern about her influence over him. Those worries would be tested once Trump returned to office in 2025.

• 5. The Loyalty Enforcer

  ›

  On the 28th of March 2025, Loomer called for the removal of Adam Schleifer, an assistant United States attorney in Los Angeles. He was fired exactly one hour later.

  On the 2nd of April, Loomer met President Trump in the Oval Office. She argued that several of his staffers were not committed enough to his agenda. She said Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Nelson Wong had once worked on Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign. She added that Wong's wife had clerked for Justice Sonia Sotomayor and helped prosecute January 6 Capitol rioters. Loomer also criticized a dozen other aides.

  The next day, more than a half-dozen members of the National Security Council were dismissed over their supposed loyalty to Trump. They included senior director for intelligence Brian Walsh and senior director for international organizations Maggie Dougherty. General Timothy D. Haugh, director of the National Security Agency, and his deputy Wendy Noble were also removed. So were Thomas Boodry, Senior Director for Legislative Affairs, and David Feith, Senior Director for Technology and National Security. Feith had been trying to limit exports of the most advanced American AI chips. That ran against the interests of the UAE. It was offering 2 billion dollars to Trump's crypto firm World Liberty if the deal came to pass.

  Loomer then told The New York Times, "In my opinion President Trump should re-evaluate his entire National Security Council." Trump said she had nothing to do with the firings. Wong was removed on the 1st of May. Loomer had called him the "Chinese Deputy National Security Adviser" and accused him of working for the Chinese Communist Party.

  Loomer holds no formal advisory role in the White House, though she is known to have advised Trump on foreign policy. She has compared her work to that of an investigative reporter, and also to that of the anti-communist senator Joseph McCarthy, whom she admires. Others in the Trump administration have used a harsher label. They have called her a "one-person wrecking crew... part loyal bagman, part Roy Cohn figure", whose attacks are out of proportion to the offenses of her targets.

  In April 2025, Terry Adirim lost her post at the Central Intelligence Agency's Center for Global Health Services after Loomer targeted her. Adirim was a senior executive there. In May, Trump withdrew Janette Nesheiwat's nomination for Surgeon General after Loomer attacked her over her medical credentials and her public support of vaccines. In July, Loomer took credit for the dismissal of Maurene Comey from the Department of Justice. She described a "two month long pressure campaign" on Attorney General Pam Bondi.

  On the 25th of July, April Doss was fired as general counsel of the National Security Agency, after Loomer retweeted an article attacking her. Four days later, Vinay Prasad was dismissed as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. Loomer had called for his firing, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary opposed it. On the 30th of July, Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll ordered West Point to rescind a job offer to cybersecurity expert Jen Easterly, whom Loomer criticized for serving under Joe Biden.

  In August 2025, CNN reported that Loomer had spoken with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about her work finding disloyal employees in the Department of Defense. She also took credit on X for the firing of an Iranian-American State Department press office official. She called him a jihadi and a "pro-Iranian regime muslim".

  Captain Florent Groberg received the Medal of Honor for tackling a suicide bomber in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. In August 2025, the U.S. Army's X account marked the thirteenth anniversary of that act. Loomer asked, "Are we supposed to believe the Army couldn't find a Republican and US born soldier?" Groberg is a naturalized citizen who had spoken for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. Her comments drew bipartisan condemnation from veterans and politicians. Groberg replied, "I've served under presidents from both parties and will always honor my oath to this country." He said he had spoken for 60 seconds at the DNC about service and sacrifice, not politics. Loomer refused to delete her post, saying, "I don't care about the outrage mob."

  The State Department announced in August 2025 that it was suspending all visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. The announcement followed criticism from Loomer. A group of Palestinians had received visas for emergency medical treatment unavailable in Gaza. Responding to a video of wounded Palestinian children arriving at an American airport, Loomer called the visitors "Islamic Invaders". Representatives Chip Roy and Randy Fine backed her demand. She later said she had discussed the matter by phone with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

  In November 2025, Trump withdrew Donald Korb's nomination as IRS Commissioner after Loomer criticized Korb for donating to Democrats. She took credit for the failure of the nomination. Sanctions on former Srpska president Milorad Dodik were also lifted after lobbying from Loomer, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn and other conservatives. Dodik had been convicted and removed from office for undermining the Dayton Accords, which ended the Bosnian War.

  Sami Hamdi, a British pro-Palestinian journalist on a speaking tour of the United States, was detained after Loomer lobbied on social media. She claimed he had expressed support for Hamas and took credit for the detention. Hamdi was released after two weeks and said Loomer had "failed emphatically."

• 6. Payment Questions

  ›

  Antonia Hitchens, a journalist who interviewed Loomer, reported that professional lobbyists had noticed Loomer's growing sway. Critics and observers suggest her motives may have widened beyond punishing alleged enemies of Trump. One anonymous source connected to the administration said she took an unusual interest in "the most obscure things that only a lobbyist would care about".

  Hewlett Packard Enterprise's acquisition of Juniper Networks was one of those subjects. Others were lifting sanctions on Venezuela's oil sector, on which she wrote a long and technically detailed post. Another was firing the board overseeing Puerto Rico's public-energy contracts. She also pushed to oust an FDA scientist who was trying to place a safety hold on a muscular-dystrophy drug. A hold would have been very expensive for its manufacturer. Such issues sit outside the usual interests of MAGA politics, and lifting Venezuelan sanctions even runs against traditional Republican positions.

  Hitchens asked whether Loomer was paid to argue for lifting sanctions on Venezuelan petroleum that an American oil magnate, Harry Sargeant III, wanted to buy. A "popular Trump-connected lobbyist" answered, "Hell, yeah, she's getting paid!" He saw nothing wrong with that. Payments to Loomer allegedly pass through middlemen, so as to protect her image of MAGA purity.

  Loomer's own answer was that she is "highly accomplished" and able to make detailed technical arguments. She called her attack on that scientist and his resignation "a coincidence". She added, "I just say what I say... I'm not a puppet." Hitchens quoted the view that influencers who shape policy and get paid for it are part of "an ascendant model". Because influencing is new, it has few or no lobbying regulations and operates in a "grey zone".

  As of mid-November 2025, Loomer had about 1.5 million followers on Twitter. She told Hitchens that her Rumble show earns "around" $150,000 a year. She also receives small donations from online fans and funding from the right-wing donor Robert J. Shillman, founder of Cognex Corporation.

  Her consulting firm, Loomered Strategies, sells opposition research and background checks. They range from "matrimonial due diligence" to finding out whether "a judge is corrupt". In her early activist days, Loomer sold concealed-camera "sting" videos to The Gateway Pundit and InfoWars.

• 7. Claims Under Scrutiny

  ›

  After the Parkland and Santa Fe school shootings, Loomer falsely claimed that both were staged. She said on Twitter that crisis actors were used at Santa Fe. She also falsely claimed that Stephen Paddock, the 2017 Las Vegas gunman, was affiliated with ISIS.

  In July 2018, Loomer called a man arrested in South Dakota with bomb-making equipment and illegal weapons a "leftist antifa terrorist". His social media activity and his brother both indicated that he was a conservative who despised liberals and Antifa. During the October 2018 mail bombing attempts, she claimed Democrats had orchestrated a "false flag" operation.

  After the 2022 Buffalo shooting, Loomer claimed without evidence that the Democratic Party had staged a hoax to start a race war. The shooter was a white supremacist. She also suggested the federal government was complicit. She falsely suggested that the Uvalde school shooter and the Highland Park parade shooter were inspired by the transgender rights movement.

  In 2023, Loomer accused Casey DeSantis of exaggerating how serious her breast cancer was, to help her husband's presidential campaign. She also falsely attributed social media posts to relatives of judges Arthur Engoron and Juan Merchan, who were overseeing cases involving Trump. She claimed these relatives had called for Trump's imprisonment. Trump amplified the misinformation to argue that the judges were biased. She further claimed that Merchan's daughter was receiving checks from congressional Democrats, a claim Representative Elise Stefanik shared.

  After the Hamas-led attack on Israel in 2023, Loomer and other right-wing influencers amplified a false story. It said the 13th of October would be a global "day of jihad". The story motivated a 71-year-old Illinois landlord to stab a 6-year-old boy to death and try to murder the boy's mother, his Muslim tenant. After a fatal car crash in Long Beach on the 14th of October, Loomer called it "Islamic terrorism" and said police had a gag order. Police replied there was "no indication that this incident was an act of terror".

  An Atlantic Council study of Community Notes on Twitter, analyzed by Bloomberg, included Loomer in November 2023. On the 12th of October, she had shared a video of a "pro-Hamas caravan" shouting racist abuse in London, implying it was recent. The video was from May 2021, and police had made arrests. She also tweeted false claims about the 2023 Rainbow Bridge explosion in Buffalo. She said the FBI suspected a terrorist attack. She also said there might be a "Jihad plot" at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, though the vehicle was traveling toward Canada.

  Loomer falsely said the American deep state created a winter storm before the 2024 Iowa Republican caucuses. She said it used the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program to help Nikki Haley. After Hurricane Helene in October 2024, she amplified false claims that FEMA aid was being denied entry to North Carolina. She later urged people on X not to accept FEMA help. In July 2024, she falsely claimed that "Joe Biden is dying and final preparations are being made for him."

  In September 2024, Loomer promoted the Springfield, Ohio, cat-eating hoax, claiming the city was populated by "20,000 cannibalistic Haitians". Anonymous campaign sources reportedly said she influenced Trump to endorse the related pet-eating hoax. She also claimed that the United States Agency for International Development funded the salaries of CNN and MSNBC hosts.

  After the 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators, Loomer falsely accused Governor Tim Walz of being responsible. Walz was on a list of potential targets compiled by the real shooter, Vance Boelter. After the 2025 Midtown Manhattan shooting, she falsely claimed that the killer of an NYPD officer supported mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. The slain officer, Didarul Islam, was a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh.

  On the 10th of October 2025, Loomer falsely claimed the Pentagon was giving Qatar a military base on United States soil. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied it. After the 2025 Brown University shooting, she called it "Islamic terrorism" without evidence and spread a theory naming a pro-Palestinian undergraduate as the shooter. A different man, Claudio Neves Valente, was later identified, with no evidence of jihadist motives.

  After the killing of Rob and Michele Reiner, Loomer shared a fake post attributed to Rob Reiner that disparaged Trump supporters. In February 2026, she falsely claimed that drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes had been "eliminated" by the United States. The Mexican Embassy replied that Mexican Special Forces had killed him. During the 2026 Iran War, she falsely called an Iranian exile the niece of general Qasem Soleimani. Marco Rubio announced that the woman and her daughter had been arrested and placed in immigration detention. Drop Site News confirmed she was not his niece and had fled Iran to escape persecution. Loomer's response was, "I want all Islamic immigrants deported."

• 8. Stated Beliefs

  ›

  Cultural critic James Wolcott called Loomer a "raging zealot... intent on becoming the agent provocateur". Sources have labeled her far-right, alt-right and alt-lite, and she herself has said she is pro-white nationalist. She has denounced the alt-right and refused to share a stage with white supremacist Richard B. Spencer. In 2017, Spencer tweeted that she was part of the "alt-lite" and called her a "Zionist fanatic". Loomer insists that white nationalism differs from white supremacy and says white nationalists "need effective leaders".

  In 2022, Loomer spoke at the annual conference of American Renaissance, a white supremacist publication. She called herself a "white advocate" and urged a ten-year moratorium on immigration. She has praised its founder Jared Taylor. She has described America as "built as the white Judeo-Christian ethnostate". Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, backed her congressional run, and the two shared a toast to "the hostile takeover of the Republican Party." She later broke with him after he accused her of being an Israeli spy. She has also accepted support from Peter Brimelow, founder of the anti-immigration website VDARE.

  In an InfoWars interview with Kanye West, Loomer declared herself "sympathetic" to him after he praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. West told her, "I love you." In 2017, Haaretz asked her about the neo-Nazi group Identity Evropa appearing at an anti-sharia event she attended. She called it a nationalist group that believes in preserving white European culture, and said there was "nothing wrong with that". She has called for the Anti-Defamation League to be designated a domestic terrorist organization. According to Media Matters, she has endorsed the Great Replacement theory.

  On a news story about 2,000 migrants drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, Loomer tweeted, "Good. Here's to 2,000 more." In July 2025, she praised the opening of Alligator Alcatraz, an immigration detention facility in Florida. She tweeted "Feeding illegals to the gators" and said the alligators were "guaranteed at least 65 million meals". That was an apparent reference to the entire Latino population of the United States.

  Loomer has called Kamala Harris, Fani Willis and Letitia James "DEI Shaniquas". Critics have long described her remarks about Black people as racist. The name Shaniqua is a mocking stereotype of Black women. In June 2024, she said an event hosted by Willis "smelled like fried chicken and marijuana". She has described Ilhan Omar, who is Somali-American, in demeaning racial and animal terms. On the 20th of April 2026, she hurled a racial slur at the commentator Candace Owens.

  In February 2019, Loomer went to Minnesota with Jacob Wohl, a right-wing perpetrator of Internet fraud, and Ali Alexander, a far-right activist. They said they were investigating whether Omar had married her brother to obtain U.S. citizenship, a baseless rumor circulating since 2016. They found no immigration irregularities. That year, Loomer uploaded an Instagram video blaming Omar and all Muslims for the September 11 attacks. She said Muslims "should not even be allowed to seek positions of political office in this country."

  After the Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019 killed 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand, Loomer wrote on Telegram, "Nobody cares about Christchurch. I especially don't." She has described Islam as "cancer" and Muslims as "savages". After the United States struck Iranian nuclear sites during the Twelve Day War, she urged Americans in cities with large Muslim populations to arm themselves. When Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari criticized her, Loomer replied, "There's no such thing as Hate Speech, Muslima."

  After Zohran Mamdani won the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary, Loomer made a prediction. "There will be another 9/11 in NYC and Zohran Mamdani will be to blame," she said. She accused him of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. In 2025, she asked Representatives Randy Fine and Andy Ogles about banning Muslims from running for public office. A mass shooting hit the Islamic Center of San Diego in May 2026. Loomer doubted its legitimacy and called for the center to be raided by ICE and the FBI.

  In December 2020, Loomer wrote that she hoped to catch COVID. Her reason was "just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life-threatening than a hyped-up virus". By September 2021 she said she had fallen ill with it. She was fighting it with several preparations, some shown to be ineffective. She called the vaccines "unsafe and ineffective".

  Media Matters recorded Loomer saying that Jews who vote for Democrats "might as well just go put yourself in a gas chamber yourself". She told interviewer Tim Pool that Trump should have certain Democrats executed for treason. She also called Pope Leo XIV "Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican".

  Loomer became engaged to her boyfriend in 2025. Trump announced the engagement at the White House Christmas party in December 2025, introducing her to the guests.
