One of President Donald Trump\u2019s closest allies, far right activist Laura Loomer, admitted on Wednesday that she had been seemingly tricked by the Russian government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was deplatformed, and when my election was rigged because the Big Tech social media companies wouldn’t allow me to have access to social media, RT started reaching out to me and asking me to come on their show,\u201d Loomer said, referring to her failed Florida congressional run (about which there was no evidence of fraud) and the Russian state-sponsored television network. \u201cAnd they said, why don’t you have a byline on RT? And you can even write for RT?\u201d<\/p>\n

Loomer claims she never took money from RT but appreciated that they allowed her to appear on their network. Yet even though she interpreted this at the time as the network perhaps caring \u201cmore about free speech than my own country,\u201d she later felt manipulated.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, when I see them say things like, we need to denazify Ukraine and we need to continue our brutal war with Ukraine, while they pretend to be, you know, some Orthodox Christian country \u2014 but they’re slaughtering thousands, like hundreds of thousands, of young Christians in Ukraine \u2014 and then they’re supporting actual neo-Nazis in the United States of America by clipping their podcasts, I’m like, wow,\u201d Loomer said. \u201cWe fell for Russian propaganda, and I fell for Russian propaganda. And so when Loomer Unleashed had this opportunity to send a correspondent, um, abroad to Ukraine, to be embedded on the front lines of the war and meet with, uh, Ukrainian officials \u2014 and there were multiple U.S. senators there at the Odessa Security Conference, um \u2014 and Andrew asked me whether I would approve a correspondent to go to Ukraine, I thought about it for a while, and I was really hesitant to do so, because I thought, what are people going to think of me?\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that she has been anti-Ukraine for so long without \u201crecognizing how, you know, as a conservative, or as a Trump supporter, or just as an American citizen, how I was being emotionally manipulated by propaganda online. And so I felt a little embarrassed, to be completely honest, sending a correspondent abroad, because I thought, well, people are going to attack me, and they’re going to say that I’m a hypocrite, and they’re not going to be gracious, and they’re not going to give me an opportunity to change my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first recent occasion in which Loomer has split with the Republican\u2019s far right on foreign policy. In May she argued that former Trump supporters like former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and Candace Owens have \u201cIsrael derangement syndrome\u201d by seemingly blaming all the world\u2019s problems on Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a psychosis. It\u2019s literally a psychosis,\u201d Loomer said. \u201cIt really is Israel derangement syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, Loomer has had outsize influence over American foreign policy during the second Trump administration, such as getting key national security council advisers fired and urging the president to wage war against Iran.<\/p>\n
