Conservative activist Laura Loomer has ignited controversy with recent claims on social media, asserting that "America Only" accounts promoting "Jew hate" and "MAGA hate" are part of a "Muslim Brotherhood psyop" funded by Turkey and Qatar. Loomer explicitly stated, "I’ve been telling everyone for MONTHS the Jew hate & MAGA hate is a Muslim Brotherhood psyop. Turkey is the home of the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey & Qatar fund the MB. This account is in Turkey.
Loomer, known for her provocative statements and proximity to former President Donald Trump, has a history of making unsubstantiated allegations and promoting conspiracy theories. Her past rhetoric has often included anti-Muslim sentiments, leading to bans from various social media platforms. Despite this, she maintains a significant online presence and influence among certain conservative factions.
The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political organization, has faced accusations of fostering extremism and attempting to influence political discourse in various countries. While some nations, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE, have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, Turkey and Qatar have historically maintained more complex relationships, often seen as providing a haven or support for members.
Allegations of foreign entities, including state and non-state actors, engaging in social media influence operations to sow discord and spread propaganda are not new. These operations often aim to manipulate public opinion, exacerbate existing societal divisions, and interfere with political processes. The spread of antisemitic content and anti-MAGA sentiment online has been a documented concern, with various groups and individuals contributing to such narratives.
However, specific, verifiable evidence directly linking a "Muslim Brotherhood psyop" funded by Turkey and Qatar to "America Only" accounts spreading "Jew hate" and "MAGA hate" on the scale described by Loomer remains largely unsubstantiated in mainstream reporting. Such broad claims often lack detailed proof and are frequently part of larger narratives circulated within specific political echo chambers.
