Trump Ally Laura Loomer Reverses Stance on Ukraine After Visit, Cites Russian Propaganda Influence
Laura Loomer, a prominent Trump ally, has reversed her previous opposition to Ukraine following a visit to Kyiv and areas near the front line. She admitted to being misled by Russian propaganda, particularly through Telegram, and now urges conservatives to reconsider their views. The interview with The Associated Press occurred in a bomb shelter during a missile alert. Her shift, which she discussed with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, coincides with the upcoming Trump-Zelenskyy meeting and ongoing U.S. debate over sanctions on Russia. Loomer claims her change of heart stems from firsthand exposure to the war’s impact and denies Ukraine is funding her trip.
