Trump Allies Rattled: Loomer Blames Carlson

It started with a podcast insult and exploded into a full-blown MAGA meltdown. One moment, Tucker Carlson was dismissing Laura Loomer with a smirk. The next, Loomer was on X (formerly Twitter), accusing him of being "controlled by Muslims" and dredging up private texts, according to Mediaite.

Welcome to the latest civil war brewing inside Trump's tent — where the knives are out, the alliances are shifting, and personal betrayal hits harder than policy disagreements.

Carlson, the former Fox News star turned right-wing media powerhouse, recently took aim at Loomer during a June 2025 episode of the "After Party" podcast. According to OK! Magazine, he dismissed her as "the world's creepiest human," mocking her public loyalty to Donald Trump and distancing himself from her identity entirely.

But Loomer wasn't about to let that slide.

MAGA's Fractured Front

Loomer — one of Trump's loudest grassroots defenders — quickly fired back by sharing what she claimed were texts from Carlson, including one from 2023 thanking her for support after his Fox firing, according to Mediaite.

Her response wasn't just personal. It was political. She went on to question Carlson's integrity, his alleged ties to Qatar, and even brought up a bizarre past claim of his — that he had been attacked in bed by a demon, leaving him with "bloody claw scars," according to the Independent.

She noted that those alleged scars have never actually been seen by the public.

At the heart of this fallout is a larger ideological split over foreign policy — and who's really steering the conservative media ship as Trump charts a second-term agenda. Carlson has emerged as a loud voice against further U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. That position has placed him at odds not only with President Trump but with MAGA influencers like Loomer and Fox host Mark Levin, both of whom backed Trump's military moves in the region.

Carlson didn't mince words on the podcast, lumping Levin and Loomer together as opportunists. He accused them of wearing the "Trump skinsuit" — adopting Trumpism for personal gain rather than principle, according to OK! Magazine.

Loomer's rebuttal? Accusations that Carlson is compromised, pointing to a Washington Examiner report detailing Qatar's extensive media lobbying in the U.S. She alleged Carlson's March 2025 interview with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani was effectively a propaganda piece brokered through a firm paid $180,000 per month by Qatar's government. Loomer posted screenshots of Foreign Agents Registration Act filings to back her case.

Carlson's camp denied any direct payment, calling the claims "categorically and definitively false and defamatory," according to Mediaite.

But Loomer wasn't done. She zeroed in on Carlson's media company, claiming it had ties to a Muslim investor with Iranian and Pakistani heritage, a connection she said made many in Trump's inner circle "very uncomfortable."

Demons, DMs, and a Deepening Divide

This is hardly the first time Loomer has stirred controversy inside the MAGAverse. From traveling with Trump on 9/11 despite having previously called the attacks an "inside job" to threatening to expose "disloyal" conservatives over Middle East policy, she's often embraced confrontation as a strategy, according to OK! Magazine.

Carlson, too, has never shied away from controversy. However, lately, his stances have put him at odds with key Trump allies. In a recent interview, he clashed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz over Iran, deriding Cruz's understanding of the region.

And his interviews with global adversaries like Vladimir Putin and Qatari leaders have only fueled suspicion among some on the right.

The looming question for Trumpworld: How much room is there for ideological dissent in the post-Fox MAGA media landscape? And who decides where loyalty ends and betrayal begins?

More Than a Spat

On the surface, this feud might look like standard influencer drama — two attention-hungry personalities trading barbs online. But it's a window into a movement that, while still orbiting around Trump, is increasingly split over foreign entanglements, media influence, and who gets to speak for the base.

According to OK! Magazine, Loomer says she'd "take a bullet" for Trump.

Carlson, for his part, told the Independent that many of his old Fox colleagues "hate Trump" but keep it quiet.

They're both loyal to the man — but they represent very different visions for what that loyalty should look like. The battle isn't just about influence — it's about direction.
