Condemned

Response to this claim

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.”

Condemned

Response to this claim

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."”
