Laura Loomer, an informal adviser to former President Donald Trump, wrote on social media that the Republican Party is confronting what she calls a growing "Nazi problem." In a series of posts, Loomer urged Republicans to acknowledge and confront what she described as rising antisemitic rhetoric and extremist sympathies within parts of the right.
"The GOP has a Nazi problem," Loomer wrote. "And the more we pretend like we don’t, the worse it’s going to get."
Loomer said her comments were not aimed at legitimate criticism of Israel — she noted she has supported proposals to end U.S. aid — but rather at a cultural shift she sees in some corners of conservative media and social platforms. She listed examples including podcasters who describe Jewish Americans as disloyal, online videos that glorify Hitler or display Sieg Heil salutes, dehumanizing imagery portraying Jewish people as vermin, and public use of antisemitic slurs.
She also accused some media figures and activists of stoking those sentiments by amplifying conspiratorial or inflammatory narratives. Loomer warned that normalizing such rhetoric will alienate mainstream voters and could have tangible political consequences: "If the GOP doesn’t address this, then they deserve to lose the midterms. And yes, it will cost us the midterms," she wrote.
In follow-up posts, Loomer repeated her electoral warning, saying the party risks losing not only the next midterms but also races in 2026 and 2028 unless leaders act to rein in extremist voices. She accused nihilistic actors of "larping as MAGA" to undermine the movement and hand victories to the left.
Loomer has a history of vocal criticism of certain conservative figures; she has repeatedly called out former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA) as part of this trend. Earlier this year she even predicted the possibility of a mainstream Nazi party emerging in the U.S. within a decade — a claim that underscores the urgency she assigns to the issue.
Context and caveats
These statements reflect Loomer’s perspective and are part of an ongoing debate within the Republican coalition about the boundaries between legitimate political speech and extremist, hateful rhetoric. Observers differ on how widespread or influential these elements are and on the best ways for party leaders to respond.
