Laura Loomer has rekindled inner MAGA conflicts by publicly opposing Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, President Trump’s choice for US Surgeon General, and threatening a new” legal war” within the action. Loomer’s criticism centers on concerns raised about Nesheiwat’s qualifications, her pro-vaccine position in the COVID-19 crisis, and her alleged lack of loyalty to the” America First” agenda.
Nesheiwat was first attacked by Loomer on X, claiming that because she is “embroiled in a medical malpractice event,” she “didn’t come to medical school in the US” and “didn’t go to medical school in the US.” According to a report from CBS News, Nesheiwat received her MD from the American University of the Caribbean, not the University of Arkansas as formerly claimed, and is only board-certified in home remedies, not emergency medicine. Lopez argued that a nominee with for a discrepancy may be trusted with regional health policy.
Loomer criticized Nesheiwat’s prior on-air support for COVID-19 vaccinations, going beyond qualifications. On Fox News in 2021, Nesheiwat referred to vaccination hésitation as a “global health risk” and urged widespread adoption to stop the pandemie. In contrast, Loper countered that vaccines are a matter of “personal freedom and liberty,” criticizing any “jab mission” and citing the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism, which is directly in opposition to scientific consensus and numerous studies that have found significant adverse events to be incredibly unusual.
Time after Loomer’s first posts, Nesheiwat’s X bio slowly removed the “nominee for US Surgeon General,” making Loomer raven,” Interesting. She might be leaving”!”! Despite this, the Senate Health Committee confirmed there was no formal withdrawal announcement that the reading was still scheduled for Thursday.
The most recent conflicts involving Loomer-led rivals that have shook Trump’s inner sphere are here. After accusing him of failing Do commitment testing, she celebrated his dismissal in April as” Signalgate,” a confrontation that pitted hard-liners against more rational numbers. She also targeted National Security Council aides and former US Cyber Command head Gen. Timothy Haugh, who she called poorly “pure.”
Another example of Loomer breaking into the MAGA ranks was last year when he fought Sriram Krishnan, Trump’s mature AI advisor, to sway ultra-nationalists and tech-oriented libertarians over immigration reform and “globalist” impact in the management. The second MAGA civil war, which was staged during that confrontation, revealed deep philosophical rifts that still exist in Loomer’s most recent assault on Nesheiwat.
Nesheiwat’s supporters emphasize her front-line epidemic encounter in New York City, where she treated thousands of patients and participated in public health awareness. They contend that given her background in family medicine and her press skills, she is well-suited to formulate health coverage. Loomer and other opponents insist that any relationship with mainstream media coverage or vaccine campaigning renders a nominee unfeigned.
