Americaist – Can a conspiracy theory change MAGA’s view on Ukraine?

Available for over a year.

One of Donald Trump’s favorite right-wing influencers, Laura Lomer, has been a vocal critic of US support for Ukraine, but after a full turn, we question whether MAGA is easing its support for the country. We also discuss whether this is Loomer’s audition for a job on the president’s team. Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator and pro-Ukraine supporter, interviewed Zelensky after his death. Anthony talks about the situation at the funeral.
