Overview
- Laura Loomer, a close ally of President Donald Trump, accused Tucker Carlson of trying a hostile GOP takeover and likened his vision to “modern day Hitler youth.”
- She asserted that parts of the right have a neo-Nazi problem and called for the party to set firm standards rejecting racism and antisemitism.
- Loomer warned Republicans could face larger defeats in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election if the issue is ignored.
- The clash intensified after Carlson’s interviews with figures like Nick Fuentes and Matt Gaetz, with Gaetz making a baseless claim that Israel was involved in his federal investigation.
- Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest showcased the rift as Ben Shapiro and Carlson delivered contrasting messages on antisemitism, while Jack Posobiec unfollowed Loomer following her criticisms.
