Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer issued a rare apology in a post on X after she experienced an air raid in Ukraine after years of arguing against U.S. support for the country against Russian forces and sharing Russian propaganda on her social media feeds.

Of course, Loomer said that "air sirens could very well be the future of America if we don’t start demanding our lawmakers crack down on communism and multipolarity,” echoing more Trump administration talking points.


Nonetheless, she admitted that she had spent years "minimizing the struggle of Ukrainians" under Russian occupation.

She wrote:

"Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring. This is everyday for every Ukrainian. I feel like such an a**hole for minimizing the struggle of Ukrainians for the last 5 years. I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say."
"There are people in Ukraine who have to run to a bomb shelter everyday and some of us had the audacity to say Russia wasn’t wrong because we believed the lie that Ukraine is a country full of Nazi sympathizers. We have been so propagandized by Russia and we don’t even realize it."
"Air sirens could very well be the future of America if we don’t start demanding our lawmakers crack down on communism and multipolarity. We won’t have Trump forever and the axis of evil is moving fast."

Her post attracted the attention of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said it is important that Loomer "sees things with her own eyes as they are":

"It is really important that @LauraLoomer is in Ukraine and sees things with her own eyes as they are. There is no better way to get informed opinion than through personal experience which allows to deal with Russian propaganda."

But Loomer's apology failed to convince many critics, who argued she had spent ages promoting conspiracy theories that undermined the war effort and ultimately fell victim to the very propaganda others had tried to warn her about.


We wonder how long it'll be before Laura has her "come to Jesus" moment about the Trump administration and how they've undermined Ukraine at every turn.

We're guessing that epiphany won't be well received either.

MAGA Christians Rage After Being Asked Why They're Against Free School Lunches

With Christianity so closely tied to Republican President Donald Trump, the GOP, and Trump's MAGA movement, a person might assume a government controlled by MAGA Republicans would try to enact legislation based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Things like feeding the hungry, housing the unhoused, caring for the sick and the poor, welcoming the immigrant, and loving their neighbors. But MAGA is a manifestation of White supremacy and Christian nationalism, so MAGA Republicans at all levels of government have embraced the greed of the Evangelical Christian "prosperity gospel" that glorifies the rich and vilifies the poor.
