The simmering feud between conservative media figures Laura Loomer and Candace Owens has erupted into one of the internet's most heated political flame wars. What began as criticism over Owens' trip to Russia quickly spiraled into personal accusations, immigration jabs, and claims about fake relationships. Owens has now fired back publicly, drawing massive attention across social media platforms.
The Russia Trip Controversy
The conflict intensified after Loomer questioned Owens' motives for traveling to Russia, suggesting she might be positioning herself for political asylum if legal scrutiny ever followed. In a lengthy post on X, Loomer wrote: 'Candace Owens looks pregnant in her pics from Russia. I can see it now if she's investigated for possible FARA violations: The Trump admin is persecuting a black pregnant woman. I need asylum. Russia: As you wish.' She added, 'Like I said, Candace Owens is auditioning to be the female Edward Snowden so she can avoid all accountability and live somewhere where she can spew her propaganda all day without fear of being sued or held accountable in the courts. This trip was likely the first step in helping make that happen. I'd bet money on it.'
The post spread rapidly across X, drawing reactions from supporters and critics on both sides. Some users condemned Loomer for speculating about Owens' pregnancy, while others focused on the Russia angle and potential FARA violations.
Owens' Personal Counterattack
Owens responded with an even sharper retort, shifting the focus away from Russia and toward Loomer's personal life. She wrote: 'You and your fake husband Andrew Simpson (who is actually just your handler) look unhappy on this Alaskan cruise last week. Is it because he only travels with you alongside an entourage of the 6 young dudes that accompanied him? Are you paying for trips for him and his friends so you can pretend you are in a relationship? Also why did you lie and claim to people you two were married when you are not? An Alaskan cruise with his homies is about as close as you'll get to Russian vacation with family which is what you are inherently jealous of, Larry.'
This exchange has added another chapter to the increasingly bitter rivalry between two of the most controversial conservative media personalities online. Neither side appears willing to back down, and with both commanding large audiences, the feud is likely far from over.
