"In a series of social media posts last month, Loomer took several swipes at Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, apparently furious over the approval of a training facility for Qatari air force pilots in Idaho, saying that she was so incensed over the decision to give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil so they can murder Americans that she planned to sit out the 2026 midterm elections."
"The digital bombs she lobbed at Hegseth didn't keep her from getting a Pentagon press pass, according to the Post's Scott Nover and Drew Harwell, who reported Monday that Loomer was the latest reporter to be credentialed by the Defense Department. Citing a person familiar with the matter, the Post reported that Loomer was joining a new cohort of right-wing media that have agreed to the Pentagon's new press policy."
Laura Loomer, a 32-year-old far-right activist, conspiracy theorist, and self-described Islamophobe, obtained a Pentagon press pass. Loomer has been a staunch ally of President Donald Trump and has publicly clashed with members of his inner circle. She posted on social media criticizing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over approval of a training facility for Qatari air force pilots in Idaho, calling it a decision to give "terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil" and saying she planned to sit out the 2026 midterms. The Pentagon credentialing followed a new DOD press policy that led most of the traditional press corps to return badges, leaving mainly MAGA-aligned and some foreign outlets.
