Share this @internewscast.com

Laura Loomer has spoken out following speculation about her involvement in the firings of at least a half dozen government officials said to be involved with last month’s Signalgate slip-up.

The far-right conspiracy theorist – and well-known Trump stan – responded to a tweet touting her involvement in the prospective talks Saturday, despite the president saying she did not play a part.

Loomer, 31,  met with Trump in the White House and reportedly brought a list of national security officials whom she believed could not be trusted Wednesday – days after publicly complaining that she had still not received a White House press pass.

The purge of officials in the Pentagon’s National Security Agency and the White House’s National Security Council occurred the following day, sparking scrutiny as to whether Loomer had been the one pulling the strings.

On X, conservative media account ‘Diligent Denizen’ perpetuated that theory, leading to Loomer’s response.  

‘CONGRATS: After meeting with @LauraLoomer, President Trump fired 6, SIX, Mike Waltz staffers involved with the Signalgate debacle,’ the account insisted. ‘Loomer proves that citizen journalists & independent media CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 

‘Congratulations on your vindication Laura, you’ve earned it.’

Within two hours, Loomer – a self-admitted ‘white nationalist’ – had offered a response, one that seemingly took credit for the firings and contradicted a direct statement from the commander-in-chief.

‘Thank you! I appreciate all of the kind messages and support! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!’ Loomer, an independent podcaster and journalist, wrote. 

‘The truth always comes to light!’

‘Keep going Laura!’ the well-followed account responded, as the post continued to rack up views.

‘She brought the receipts and he responded accordingly,’ it added of the podcaster and president, respectively. ‘This is why he’s a man of the People.’

A host of onlookers appeared to agree, even though Trump seemingly put such theories to bed on Thursday afternoon.

When asked by reporters whether Loomer had influenced his decision to fire the officials who had worked under National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, he simply said, ‘no.’ 

‘Laura Loomer is a great patriot. She’s a very strong person,’ Trump added during a flight to Miami on board Air Force One. ‘She’s been in the party a long time, she’s done a good job,’ he later added.

Instead of being behind the firings, the president said that Loomer met with him Wednesday and gave him recommendations as people he could hire – hailing her as ‘a great patriot’ and a ‘strong person.’

‘She’s been in the party a long time, she’s done a good job,’ Trump said of the podcaster he proudly touted on last year’s campaign trail. 

‘Sometimes I listen to [her] recommendations, like I do with everybody,’ he said of their meeting. ‘I listen to everybody, and then I make a decision.

‘But I saw her yesterday,’ he added, hours after other officials who work under Walz were fired.

They include Thomas Boodry, senior director of legislative affairs for Waltz’s National Security Council; and David Feith, senior director of technology and national security.

Maggie Dougherty, the senior director for international organizations for the NSC; Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command; as well as Haugh’s deputy, Wendy Noble, were also let go for reasons yet to be disclosed.

Waltz – despite finding himself at the center of pushback from both sides of the aisle as a result of the scandal he himself started – avoided the axe.

He’s facing heat for accidentally adding Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg into the supposedly clandestine chat.   

When asked about their meeting Thursday, Loomer told DailyMail.com directly: ‘Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details.

‘It was an honor to meet with [him] and present him with my research findings,’ she went on.

‘I will continue working hard to support his agenda, and I will continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting, for the sake of protecting the President and our national security.’

Waltz sat in on the meeting and defended members of his team, The New York Times reported. 

Loomer is best known celebrating the deaths of migrants who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea last year, and pedaling conspiracy theories such as one surrounding Kamala Harris not being black.

She gained prominence after being suspended from Barry University in Florida for attempting to create the ‘Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria’ club, after which she offered theories that the 2018 Parkland school shooting – where 17 people were killed – was staged.

It was reported in April 2023 that Trump was intent on offering Loomer a job only for the proposition to be met with dismay from his aides – after which she appeared repeatedly with him over the course of his campaign.

Months later, Loomer said she was coming for the role Karoline Leavitt currently holds – another bid that has seemingly failed to come to fruition.

‘Someday I will be his [Trump’s] Press Secretary,’ she wrote at the time. ‘I will protect him from all of his enemies and haters. 

‘They will meet their match in me,’ she concluded. ‘#Trump2024.’
