Laura Loomer says Tucker Carlson plotting ‘hostile takeover’ of GOP to destroy MAGA

WASHINGTON, DC: Conservative activist Laura Loomer launched a sharp attack on media personality Tucker Carlson, accusing him of attempting to reshape the Republican Party away from President Donald Trump's America First movement.

Loomer’s comments came amid growing debate over the future direction of the GOP, particularly as questions intensify about leadership and ideology in a post-Trump political landscape.

Laura Loomer accuses Tucker Carlson of ‘hostile takeover’ of GOP

In a post shared on X, Loomer alleged that Carlson was pursuing what she described as a “hostile takeover” of the Republican Party, claiming his growing influence threatened to undermine the MAGA base that has defined the party in recent election cycles.

“I told you this is what Tucker was doing. He’s trying to have a hostile takeover of the GOP to destroy MAGA & redefine the GOP into modern day Hitler youth with a drizzle of Sharia Law on top,” Loomer wrote.

She further accused Carlson of prioritizing personal ambition over conservative principles, arguing that his approach conflicted with the America First agenda embraced by Trump supporters.

“@TuckerCarlson isn’t America First. He’s Tucker First at the expense of our country,” Loomer added in the same post.

Loomer has long positioned herself as a vocal defender of the MAGA movement and a close ally of Trump. She has repeatedly warned that media figures and establishment Republicans are, in her view, diluting the movement’s core message.

Tucker Carlson’s commentary fuels GOP future debate

Loomer’s remarks followed recent commentary from Carlson’s media platform that questioned who would control the Republican Party once Trump leaves office.

An official X account associated with The Tucker Carlson Show shared a post discussing the ideological battle within the GOP, raising questions about whether the party’s future would remain aligned with America First populism or shift toward more traditional conservative figures.

“The battle for the future of the Republican Party is underway. Who will control the GOP once Donald Trump leaves office? Someone who believes in America First, or a globalist like Ted Cruz?” the account wrote, also referencing potential Democratic contenders.

The post and subsequent episode intensified online discussion about Carlson’s influence and intentions within conservative politics.

Past disputes deepen Loomer–Carlson rift

The latest criticism was not Loomer’s first public clash with Carlson. She recently expressed anger over comments she said Carlson made on his show, suggesting she was not truly American or committed to the country.

“Tucker royally pissed me off when he suggested on his show that I am not really an American citizen and that I don’t serve America,” Loomer wrote, calling the claim offensive and untrue.

Loomer has also criticized Carlson over reports of his involvement in purchasing a home in Qatar, questioning whether conservative organizations associated with him were softening their stance on Islam.

Taken together, the exchanges highlighted a widening rift within right-wing media and activist circles, as internal battles over ideology, loyalty, and influence within the GOP continued to play out publicly.
