Alex BruesewitzPolitical consultant, chief executive of X Strategies and adviser to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, posting on his X account
Answering Loomer's question about his firm, Bruesewitz says he has paid her for tweets, though not for at least a year, and that he knows others still pay her for tweets, so it is fair to call her an influencer.
Responding to
Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to post political messages on X without disclosing the payments.
“No I don't deny that. I've paid you for tweets before. I haven't for at least a year though. I also know you still get paid by others for tweets so I do think it's fair to refer to you as an "influencer."”

Where this statement fits
Alex Bruesewitz says he paid Laura Loomer for posts and that others still do; Loomer denies being paid to tweet
On November 5, 2026, Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, wrote on X that he had paid Laura Loomer for tweets, though not for at least a year, and that others still pay her. On November 7, The Washington Post reported that three other people said they had paid Loomer to post political messages on X or had overseen clients who did, and that bank and wire records it reviewed show four payments totaling more than $60,000 to Loomer and her company since May 2025, without stating their purpose. Loomer told the Post she is not an influencer who makes money from tweeting, that her business is public affairs and opposition research, and that Bruesewitz's firm paid her for a research document. She later called the report a hit piece. Bruesewitz says political influencers should have to disclose paid opinions.

Why this label?
The reference point is Laura Loomer's alleged acceptance of payments from private clients to post political messages on X without disclosing them. Bruesewitz says he paid her for tweets in the past, says others still pay her and presses her on how many of her posts are paid, which condemns the undisclosed paid posting he describes.
