Back in 2022, conservative activist Laura Loomer and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes celebrated what seemed to be a ‘hostile takeover of the Republican Party.’ As reported by Mediate, in the 11th congressional district of Florida, Loomer sought the Republican nomination for office two years ago; she was defeated in that campaign by incumbent Republican Daniel Webster. However, it was the same day that Loomer and Fuentes celebrated their common goal of molding the Republican Party to their liking. As per the outlet, to celebrate ‘the hostile takeover’ of the GOP in August 2022, Loomer poured Pepsi Nitro and proclaimed it the ‘official drink of America First.’ Fuentes agreed with her as they clinked their glasses together. Whether Loomer and Fuentes intended their statements seriously or in fun is unknown. For those who may not know, Loomer’s current association with former president Donald Trump has garnered significant attention. This is due, in part, to the fact that Trump invited her to the 9/11 commemoration ceremonies despite her history of promoting 9/11 conspiracy theories. On the other hand, Fuentes has also denied the Holocaust, supported domestic violence, and voiced his desire for conservatives to resist ‘Jewish Power,’ as per the same report by Mediaite. But in July, Fuentes made it quite obvious that he is not supporting Trump. As reported by Newsweek, he said, “I’m not a Republican and I don’t care that much and I’m not going to turn out.”
