Responding to
Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to post political messages on X without disclosing the payments.
“I'm not against creators getting paid, I just think it's probably time for political influencers to disclose what opinions they are being paid for. Our discourse would be healthier if those arrangements had to be disclosed.”

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.
