Far-right activist Laura Loomer, a staunch ally of Donald Trump, has stirred controversy by launching a White House "tip line" encouraging people to report government officials they believe are disloyal to the former president.
The move has been widely criticised as an attempt to purge dissent within the Republican Party and further polarise US politics. Loomer, known for her inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy theories, claims the initiative will help "root out the deep state" and ensure only "true patriots" remain in positions of power.
Loomer's Controversial Campaign
Loomer, who was banned from several social media platforms for violating hate speech policies, announced the tip line during a recent appearance on a conservative podcast. She urged Trump supporters to submit names of officials they suspect of undermining the former president's agenda.
"We need to identify the traitors in our midst," Loomer declared. "This tip line will help us expose those who pretend to support President Trump while secretly working against him."
Backlash and Criticism
The initiative has drawn sharp criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Democrats have condemned it as a dangerous escalation of partisan witch hunts, while some Republicans worry it could deepen divisions within the party.
Political analysts warn that such tactics could further erode trust in government institutions and fuel extremism. "This is not about accountability—it's about enforcing blind loyalty," said one expert. "It sets a dangerous precedent for political discourse."
Loomer, however, remains defiant, insisting her efforts are necessary to "save America" from what she describes as "leftist infiltration."
