Ex-Fox Host Tells CNN Trump Taking War Advice From Conspiracy Loon Laura Loomer

Ex-Fox News host Gretchen Carlson told CNN host Anderson Cooper that conspiracy loon Laura Loomer has more influence over President Donald Trump’s war policy than MAGA Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Trump’s abrupt rush toward U.S. military involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict has created a fracture among high-profile MAGA supporters, with Israel isolationists like MTG pitted against the likes of Loomer, who favor action against Iran.

On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Carlson predicted that in the intramural MAGA war debate, it is Loomer that Trump will listen to:

ANDERSON COOPER: Yes, Gretchen, I mean, to that point, Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, she wrote, “Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel-Iran war is not America first MAGA,” end quote. Obviously, I mean, she’s saying, you know, she’s more MAGA than Donald Trump, I guess, here.

GRETCHEN CARLSON: Yes, look, I think it’s good to have a difference of opinion even inside of MAGA, because what we’ve seen on both sides of the aisle is that when you have group think, that’s when incivility really brews. What I’m more worried about here is actually what Alyssa was just talking about, which is Trump’s beliefs himself.

And it’s been reported that he watched Fox News over the last couple of days, and he saw that they were talking about how brilliant Israel’s attacks had been against Iran. And that really changed his views about, you know, he wanted to flex. He wanted to get involved in this as well.

And it’s one thing to operate on a whim on tariffs and on immigration, which he has done, albeit those are important issues. It’s a whole other thing to suddenly just decide that you’re going to attack Iran on a whim because you want to flex. And I think that that is what the danger is here.

Not necessarily that MAGA is disagreeing. It’s that we could get ourselves involved in World War III. But if you want me to actually predict who I think he’ll listen to more than anyone else, it’s not Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s Laura Loomer. And she’s the one that’s telling him right now to attack.
