Laura Loomer Accuses Tucker Carlson Of Trying To Remake The GOP Into A 'Modern‑Day Hitler Youth,' Escalating Right‑Wing Rift

Laura Loomer sharply criticized fellow conservative media figure Tucker Carlson after he promoted a new interview with former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, accusing Carlson of attempting a hostile takeover of the GOP and of redefining the party in extreme and divisive terms.

Preview And Provocation

Carlson previewed the interview on X, writing:

"The battle for the future of the Republican Party is underway. Who will control the GOP once Donald Trump leaves office? Someone who believes in America First, or a globalist like Ted Cruz? And what about the Democrats? Would they really nominate Gavin Newsom?"

He described the episode as a discussion of "predictions, analysis, and breakdown of government coups, the return of identity politics, and more." During the interview, Gaetz drew attention for repeating the unfounded claim that "Israel was involved" in his federal sex‑trafficking probe; that allegation has not been substantiated.

Loomer’s Response And Broader Critique

Loomer — a prominent Trump ally — reshared Carlson’s post on X and wrote that Carlson was "trying to have a hostile takeover of the GOP to destroy MAGA & redefine the GOP into modern day Hitler youth with a drizzle of Sharia Law on top." She also added, "@TuckerCarlson isn’t America First. He’s Tucker First at the expense of our country."

On a related note, Loomer reacted to being unfollowed by fellow right‑wing commentator Jack Posobiec and criticized remarks made at AmFest, arguing the conservative movement should not tolerate promoters of extremism simply to avoid labels like "Israel First." She referenced Turning Point USA and its founder Charlie Kirk, saying that the organization once acted as a gatekeeper against radical voices.

Warnings About Extremism And Political Costs

Loomer warned that failure to confront neo‑Nazi and extremist elements on the right could have electoral consequences, predicting larger losses for the GOP in 2026 and 2028 if the party does not reassert "moral clarity." She insisted conservatives should reject Nazism, antisemitism, and support for Hamas while preserving a disciplined, principled movement.

Carlson has become a lightning rod within conservative circles after conducting a friendly interview with Nick Fuentes, a figure widely denounced for white‑supremacist and antisemitic views. That interview and Loomer’s public rebuke highlight widening factional tensions across the right‑wing media ecosystem.
