Loomer: “He just got back from Qatar. ... It's almost like when you go to Qatar something happens that rots your brain cells, or maybe money is exchanged, and then you just automatically hate Jews.”

LAURA LOOMER (HOST): Guess what? Original MAGA understands the threat of Islam. We're not trying to play footsie with genocidal Muslims, OK? Donald Trump campaigned on a message that Islam hates us. In fact, we have the interview from his interview with Tucker — with Anderson Cooper from 2015 where Donald Trump said that Islam hates us. Maybe, maybe if you're one of these Tulsi Gabbard or RFK people, you don't understand this because you haven't been with MAGA since the beginning.
And that's the problem, right? Is we have a lot of people in this country that think they, you know, should have an opinion on this. They don't really know anything. Everybody thinks they're, like, a goddamn international affairs expert now. It's so funny. Everybody's a Middle Eastern expert.
Isn't it interesting how people went from being Middle Eastern experts? You have Theo Von, who went from being a coke head and now he's like an expert on Palestinian affairs and Iranian affairs. Like, I don't know how you go from snorting coke to waking up one day and then being, you know, being an expert. He didn't even give a shit about the Palestinians or Gaza or anything to do with Iran, but oh, well, well, he just got back from Qatar. Another, another pattern I keep on noticing, right? The noticing just keeps on happening, you guys. I just keep on noticing these things. I keep on noticing, there's a pattern here.
There's a pattern with everybody who goes to Qatar. There really is a pattern, isn't there? Hmm, it's almost like when you go to Qatar something happens that rots your brain cells, or maybe money is exchanged, and then you just automatically hate Jews. You go from not talking about Jews, from not talking about Palestinians, from not talking about Gaza, from not talking about Iran — and then you just transform overnight.
