Laura Loomer Wants a White House Press Pass — and She’s Not Backing Down
Despite direct access to Donald Trump and a growing influence over key personnel decisions, far-right provocateur Laura Loomer is still locked out of the White House press briefing room.
Laura Loomer, the ultra-conservative media personality and provocateur, may have a hotline to President Donald Trump. However, still can’t secure something far more conventional: a seat in the White House press room. As Trump’s administration continues to embrace digital influencers and “new media” voices, Loomer — one of the most vocal and loyal MAGA supporters — finds herself on the outside looking in.
Laura Loomer, who has built a massive following online and frequently uncovers background information on White House appointees, believes she’s being intentionally excluded. “I do think there’s a fear that I may ask questions about the loyalties of people in the White House,” she told CNN. “They fear me having a national and global microphone to ask those questions.”
And Laura Loomer certainly doesn’t hold back. Unlike many in the conservative media ecosystem who amplify Trump’s talking points, Loomer targets those within Trump’s team. She’s known for publicly naming and criticising staff she deems unaligned with the “America First” agenda — and has proven that her critiques can lead to real consequences.
For Laura Loomer, being left out of the White House briefing room isn’t about vanity but accountability. “Not to be malicious toward anyone in the administration,” she says, “but to support the America First agenda.” She argues that if she had access to official briefings, she could challenge appointments directly and avoid resorting to backdoor interventions.
Laura Loomer’s proximity to Trump is well-established. She’s travelled on his private jet, attended events at Mar-a-Lago, and been personally summoned for meetings at his request. Yet she says repeated orders from Trump to bring her onto his team have been blocked by senior aides. Her controversial past—including conspiracy-laced rhetoric and inflammatory comments—may explain the hesitation.
Democrats and even some Republicans have pushed back against Laura Loomer’s past statements, such as her suggestion that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job.” Loomer later clarified that she believes Islamic terrorists were responsible, but still faces scepticism from within the GOP ranks.
We really need a new nominee for US Surgeon General.
I know @realDonaldTrump likes people who go on TV for some weird reason I will never understand (I still love him), but we can’t have a pro-COVID vaccine nepo appointee who is currently embroiled in a medical malpractice case… https://t.co/DkDbFZDqcSpic.twitter.com/6bEVmaLPZ1
With Trump’s team recently welcoming new media figures to press briefings — including podcasters, online commentators, and social influencers — Loomer saw a new opportunity. But so far, her application has been ignored. Former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer speculated that Loomer’s confrontational style may be why she hasn’t been invited.
The influencers given access tend to praise the administration rather than challenge it. In contrast, Loomer is one of the few voices from the right calling for internal scrutiny. “Show me any other independent new media reporter that’s having more of an impact on the Trump administration than me,” she said.
Whether Trump’s team ultimately grants her a press pass or not, one thing is clear: Laura Loomer isn’t going away. And for those in Trump’s inner circle, being “Loomered” could come at any moment.

She’s known for publicly naming and criticising staff she deems unaligned with the “America First” agenda — and has proven that her critiques can lead to real consequences.
From Instagram to Influence
Her influence was fully displayed with the recent shakeup involving national security adviser Mike Waltz. After weeks of public criticism and a direct call with Trump, several national security aides were removed, and Mike Waltz was reassigned to the United Nations. Loomer celebrated the move with her signature term: “Loomered.”
