KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.
Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. This week she had a change of heart.
“Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring. This is everyday for every Ukrainian,” Loomer wrote on X during her visit to the country. “I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say.”
I hate this bitch so much, but I hate more that being a professional troll is so richly rewarded in this fascist hellscape.
By all rights she should be screaming into the void on 4Chan, but instead, she’s meeting with world leaders and apparently it’s fucking news.
And this world leader is forced to meet her, because he needs every support he can get.
Ugh. Hadn’t considered that, but you’re right.
I’d be holding back vomit the whole time. I fucking hate her.
