Overview

  • Laura Loomer publicly denounced Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s decision to honor Capt. Florent Groberg on social media, citing his 2016 Democratic National Convention speech and foreign birth as disqualifying factors.
  • Her comments prompted swift rebukes from current and former military officials, including an anonymous Army officer and ex-Pentagon leaders Chris Miller and Robert Wilkie, who defended Groberg’s valor as nonpartisan.
  • Despite a lack of public response from the Pentagon, Loomer has maintained informal access to senior Trump administration and Defense Department figures, continuing to influence personnel matters behind the scenes.
  • The activist’s long-running feud with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene escalated into reciprocal vulgar insults and personal attacks on social media this week.
  • Loomer filed an FEC-backed ethics complaint alleging Greene funneled more than $113,000 in campaign payroll to her daughter, deepening fractures within the pro-Trump coalition.
