A bitter public clash between two of Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters has exposed deepening fractures within the MAGA movement, revealing a power struggle over influence and ideological purity. The escalating Marjorie Taylor Greene Laura Loomer feud turned intensely personal this week, dragging Medal of Honor recipients, alleged affairs, and accusations of compromised loyalties into the spotlight.
What Sparked the Latest MAGA Civil War?
The conflict ignited when conservative influencer Laura Loomer criticized the U.S. Army’s social media tribute to Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg, calling him “unworthy” because he wasn’t U.S.-born and spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Groberg earned the nation’s highest military decoration by shielding colleagues from a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene swiftly countered on X (formerly Twitter) to her 5 million followers: “No one cares about his politics, that man was willing to die to save others.” Greene then escalated, suggesting Loomer was secretly funded to attack “America First” figures and funnel propaganda to Trump. The Army defended Groberg, telling The Washington Post (August 12, 2025): “A soldier isn’t a Democrat or Republican—they’re an American. Their service transcends politics.”
How Personal Attacks Define Modern MAGA Politics
Loomer retaliated with scorching personal allegations, accusing Greene of sabotaging her 2023 White House job prospects and labeling her a “fake Christian” over alleged marital infidelity. Greene fired back by referencing Loomer’s reported affair with a “sex guru,” exposing the feud’s descent into Nicki Minaj-level pettiness.
Loomer declared: “@mtgreenee planted lies in the @nytimes because you couldn’t stand another woman succeeding in the GOP,” while Greene questioned Loomer’s MAGA credentials, noting she’d donated to Loomer’s past campaigns. The exchange revealed a toxic competition for Trump’s ear, with Loomer previously claiming to be the former president’s “guide.”
Where Do MAGA Loyalties Lie Now?
Comment sections under both women’s posts showed MAGA supporters largely siding with Loomer, raising questions about Greene’s standing. This rift highlights a movement increasingly preoccupied with internal score-settling over tangible governance. As Greene drifts from the base—recently opposing key Trump allies—the feud underscores a volatile hierarchy where influence hinges on performative loyalty tests.
This public implosion damages the MAGA movement’s coherence, replacing policy focus with personal vendettas. As Greene and Loomer battle for Trump’s attention, their clash exposes a fragmented base more invested in insider status than serving Americans.
