MAGA influencer Laura Loomer mounts Jewish apology tour in Ukraine, meeting with Zelensky and rabbi

MAGA influencer Laura Loomer recently visited Ukraine, conducting interviews with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Rabbi Moshe Azman. During her visit, Loomer apologized for her past assertions that Ukraine was "full of Nazi sympathizers" and that Zelensky was "a self-hating Nazi Jew," stating, "I admit it, I fell for Russian propaganda." She emphasized her Jewish identity and discussed Ukraine's antisemitism policies with Zelensky, who highlighted a new law criminalizing antisemitism, stating, "It's illegal: antisemitism. We did it during my presidency." Loomer's trip comes amidst a fracturing American right, with military aid to Ukraine and support for Israel becoming intertwined issues. She also sought to counter "Russian propaganda" regarding alleged links between Ukraine's military and Nazism, with Zelensky asserting, "We are not Nazis."
