Trump ally Laura Loomer says neo-Nazi involvement in her project was 'typo': report
MAGA social media activist Laura Loomer is working on a new far-right documentary — and she wants everyone to know that any indications she worked with a notorious neo-Nazi activist are just a misunderstanding.
According to Talking Points Memo, "Loomer, who has previously described herself as 'pro-white nationalism' and a 'proud Islamophobe,' is a Florida activist who mounted unsuccessful U.S. House campaigns as a Republican in 2020 and 2022. She’s also a staunch 'Trump loyalist' whose extremist views have not stopped the former president from repeatedly embracing her, including with an endorsement in 2020."
Her upcoming documentary, "The Great Replacement," is devoted to a conspiracy theory of the same name, which holds that there is a deliberate plot to import nonwhite people into America to breed the white population out of existence, or at least to render them a political minority.

That said, Loomer is Jewish, and she was apparently embarrassed as people realized that her project appeared to indicate involvement by Nick Fuentes, an avowed neo-Nazi who has praised Adolf Hitler and denied the Holocaust.
"A fundraising webpage for Loomer’s documentary initially indicated a foundation started by one of the country’s most notorious neo-Nazis, Nicholas Fuentes, was involved with the project. Fuentes’ group was scrubbed from the documentary web page following inquiries from TPM and both Loomer and the head of the documentary’s production company, 'Truth + Light Media' CEO Edward Szall, described the association with Fuentes as the result of an error," said the report. "'There must be some kind of a, like, a typo because Nick Fuentes is not involved in my film,' Loomer said when first reached by TPM on Thursday morning."
Fuentes, who headed up the online "Groyper" movement attempting to inject neo-Nazi ideology into the mainstream, entered the larger national consciousness when former President Donald Trump invited him, along with Hitler-praising rapper Kanye "Ye" West, to Mar-a-Lago for a dinner meeting.
