Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer announced she is taking a “brief hiatus” from her Loomer Unleashed podcast just hours after a Trump administration adviser exposed her for being paid to post some of her manic, hateful content.

It all started on Thursday, when Alex Bruesewitz, who is behind much of Trump’s digital media strategy, took aim at conservative social media influencers following the GOP’s massive midterm election loss.

“Believe it or not attacking Democrats over their relationships with a streamer (Hasan Piker) wasn’t an effective hit,” Bruesewitz posted, not mentioning Loomer by name. “GOP candidates probably shouldn’t take messaging advice from fringe right-wing ‘influencers’ moving forward.”

Loomer took the bait.

“But they should take their advice and meetings with @TuckerCarlson instead?… It’s completely reasonable for people to be appalled with Democrat candidates campaigning with a guy who said America deserved 9/11. Hasan Piker regularly makes comments in support of jihadi groups,” she wrote. “What wasn’t helpful was your friend Tucker Carlson essentially endorsing Abdul El-Sayed over Mike Rogers and using his show to tell people to not support Rogers just a few weeks out from an election. But we all know you will never condemn your buddy Tucker.”

“Laura, you are basically the Republican version of Hasan Piker. Democrats over the years have attacked Republicans for affiliating with you. Those weren’t effective hits either,” Bruesewitz replied. “Voters simply don’t care enough about ‘influencers’ or streamers. lol”

Loomer took offense to that, claiming that she was not an influencer and criticizing Bruesewitz for his association with Omeed Malik, a conservative venture capitalist and major Republican donor.

“I’m a journalist and an opposition researcher Alex. What are you? What is it that you do for Omeed Malik exactly? He’s a Muslim right? Half Iranian and half Pakistani if I’m not mistaken,” Loomer fired back. “Is that why you have such an issue with the things I say about Islam?”

“Okay lol. But is it common for journalists to get paid for their opinions and tweets?”

“You say ‘Okay lol.’ Not sure why you are laughing. I recall last year your company X strategies reached out to me asking me for help. Do you deny that? What is so funny? I guess I don’t get the joke,” Loomer said, admitting that she was indeed paid to tweet. “You loved sharing my journalistic reports during the 2023/2024 DeSantis-Trump primary too. What changed?”

“No I don’t deny that. I’ve paid you for tweets before. I haven’t for at least a year though,” Bruesewitz wrote back. “I also know you still get paid by others for tweets so I do think it’s fair to refer to you as an ‘influencer.’ What percentage of your tweets are paid for?”

…

Hours later, Loomer announced a “one to two month show hiatus.”

    You are no different from a MAGA with 6 teeth left applauding a billionaire getting its 6th yacht. Same quality of responses and thoughts. You’re all of the same cloth. You are also alright with pedophilia, hence the reason you attack people like Hasan, because he is making the life of the Jeffrey Epstein Class (and its supporters like you) harder. You know both Asmongold (who promotes pro-pedophilia content creators like Nux) and Destiny (who is currently facing the court for sharing underage porn and revenge porn multiple times) are nowhere near close to Hasan. You were probably just a fan of one of those two losers and now it’s impossible for you to defend them. You’re a rat jumping ship.

    The dog zapping was a hoax started by Dan Saltman and spread by Ethan Klein’s fans. Here is him admitting he started the hoax in camera: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeftoversH3/comments/1oz0145/dan_saltman_says_he_got_the_idea_to_falsely/

    I’ve seen people defend Greta with the same tone. You are a just mouth-breathing idiot who is not even well-prepared to do concern trolling right. This is why you will never have even a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 6+ children, a home at 19 years old, economic stability, or at least a happy family of four without a college degree. Why? Are they smarter, work harder, or what?

    Well, the answer is because you are so easy to exploit and lie to. You are a moron. You were born to serve like a serf, and you can’t even do that right without strengthening the opposition in your way. What a useless prick. We have a use for you, though: Your ragebaits and brute personality are perfect for us to display how fucking stupid and ignorant your side is, which appeals to those who might not have watched Hasan yet and do care about the truth, so. Keep it up! Thank you for strengthening Hasan’s community <3
