Laura Loomer is one of the most influential conservative journalists and commentators in the US, whose reporting and social media posts have repeatedly shaped America’s political agenda. She arrived in Ukraine for the first time to see the war with her own eyes. In this interview, Loomer explains for the first time why she criticized Ukraine for years, why she now believes she was influenced by Russian propaganda, and publicly apologizes to the Ukrainian people. During the conversation, an unexpected surprise awaited her: newly discovered archival documents revealed her family’s history and Ukrainian roots for the very first time.

I still wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her. She could change her tune and say that Kyiv is full of goose stepping nazis, if the price was right.
Do you think she deserves an attempt at redemption?
Of course, but I would still be very wary of her motives. People very rarely do a 180 about something they believe in.
She was quite surprised to find out both her grandparents on her father’s side immigrated from Ukraine too. 🙂 Plus they were from wonderful Vinitsia.
Fancy not knowing where your grandparents are from.
During and after WW2 it was pretty common for Jews to protect their identity for obvious reasons. Even many non-Jews did the same and some changed their names.
She could, but I doubt she will. She’s apologized so much and claims to have seen and learned so much, why would she resort to blatant lies in the end? She would totally ruin what reputation she has left over.
I’ve never listened to her broadcasts so I don’t know what lies you’re talking about.

Yawn
Yeah, that’s why he keeps whining and begging that Ukraine please retreat from the rest of Donbas… 🥱
