Laura Loomer, a far-right American activist and blogger known for her close ties to US President Donald Trump, says she was unaware of the truth about the Russian-Ukrainian war for a long time, according to the Associated Press.
"I’ve come to realize I was bamboozled by Russian propaganda and I came to believe a lot of untrue things about Ukraine. I used to think that this was a country full of Nazis," Loomer candidly admits.
According to the blogger, at one point she was even blocked on American social media platforms.
After that, she decided to try using Telegram, which is owned by Russian programmer and entrepreneur Pavel Durov. It was there that she began consuming even more disinformation from Russian media.
"The Russians are very good at capitalizing on people’s rage. And I was very angry," Loomer says.
As the blogger explains, the shift in her attitude toward Ukraine and Russia happened extremely slowly.
At first, she noticed that podcasters like Tucker Carlson were turning against President Trump, and that their rhetoric was being amplified by Russian sources. After that, the activist began to draw certain conclusions.
She believes that some of our leaders are being influenced by propaganda.
Now she makes no secret of the fact that she, too, was once a victim of it, but things have changed.
Zelenskyy also met with Trump’s favorite blogger, Laura Loomer.
Interestingly, Zelenskyy has already told Loomer when the turning point in his relationship with Trump occurred.
