Many of you in the media know the name Laura Loomer.

To say Loomer is a controversial figure would be an understatement.

Just some of the things that Loomer has done according to Wikipedia. “Loomer has described herself as a nationalist, and has described immigration as a threat to American heritage. Fortune has described Loomer as a "far-right provocateur."

The site goes onto say, “On November 1, 2017, following a terrorist attack in New York City, Loomer tweeted that she was late to a conference because she could not find a "non Muslim cab or @Uber @lyft driver". She called for the creation of a new ride-sharing company which did not employ Muslims after it became known that the suspect in the attack was a former driver for Uber. The day-long "tweetstorm" blamed all Muslims for the activities of radical Islamists such as ISIS. Following this, both Uber and Lyft announced that she had violated their guidelines and was banned from using their services.”

Wiki adds, “Loomer has promoted a number of conspiracy theories, mostly related to mass shootings; falsely insinuating that school shootings in Santa Fe; Texas; and Parkland, Florida; were staged, and that the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooter was affiliated with ISIS.”

So, it came as a bit of a surprise when Fox News Anchor Pete Hegseth posted a tweet, supporting and trying to help Loomer raise money for a run at Congress in Florida.

This is what the Fox News Anchor tweeted out:
