Laura Loomer whose career has been built on conspiracy theories and inflammatory tweets, has decided to go to war with Candace Owens, the conservative social media darling known for her own brand of smug contrarianism.
The reason? Well, it’s not exactly clear — because when you throw two clout-chasing egos into a room, they’ll find any excuse to fight. This time, it’s apparently about Trump, the Middle East, and who gets to wear the crown as the loudest (and most irrelevant) voice of chaos. The drama began when Loomer unleashed a fiery tirade against Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and anyone else she could think of who isn’t sufficiently loyal to her vision of Trumpism.
But the real fireworks started when she turned her attention to Candace Owens, accusing her of being a traitor to the MAGA cause for daring to criticize Trump’s Middle East policies. For context, Trump recently hinted at potential military action against Iran, a move that has divided his base. Owens took the chance to criticize what she saw as blind loyalty to Israel and AIPAC. In one tweet, she dismissed Loomer’s rant as “boring” and added, “I’m not worshipping Netanyahu and AIPAC, even if Trump commands it. Hope this helps.”
That snarky response was enough to send Loomer into a rage. In true Loomer fashion, she didn’t argue the point; she went straight for the jugular. Loomer accused Owens of running cover for Islam. In Loomer’s world, being against war in the Middle East is the same as endorsing Sharia law. She even dragged out the tired trope that Mohammed was a pedophile, implying that Owens’ stance on Iran was somehow tied to her supposed “love” for Islam.
Owens, never one to back down from a fight, mocked Loomer’s strategy of making wild accusations to stay relevant, calling her out for past claims like “Tucker is funded by Qatar” and “Casey DeSantis is faking cancer.”
Owens also jabbed at Loomer’s desperation, saying her antics were getting “tired.” And there it was — two grifters, both desperate for attention, tearing each other down in public. No one wins here, except maybe the rest of us, who get to watch this trainwreck unfold from the safety of our screens.
