极右翼评论员Laura Loomer是MAGA的公开盟友，并以接近前总统Donald Trump的政治圈而知名。她近日公开与自己长期支持的运动切割，指责一些MAGA共和党人“so ignorant”，并批评该运动在乌克兰问题上放大俄罗斯政府的“propaganda”。这一转变与MAGA阵营此前多次攻击前总统Joe Biden向乌克兰提供军事支持形成鲜明对比。对美国援助乌克兰的怀疑一直是共和党MAGA派别的显著特征，并导致国会批准对基辅补充拨款的进程延迟数月。

Loomer在Monday, July 20发布帖文作出立场逆转后，另一位知名MAGA人物也加入其中。Tim Pool在Thursday, July 23宣布其在乌克兰问题上的立场发生重大改变，并在X（前身为Twitter）上引发大量讨论。

Pool 发帖称: "Ukraine has been fighting for their very existence against an evil dictator. I see now the importance of the Ukrainian victory against Russia. I hope Trump and the people of the United States will lend their support."

VOA News前五角大楼记者Ostap Yarysh强调了Pool转变的幅度。Yarysh在X上表示: "Two years ago Tim Pool said literally this: 'Ukraine is one of the greatest enemies of our nation ... We should pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia.' Then it was revealed that a company associated with him had been paid by Moscow. What is happening?" 这里指的是美国司法部在September 2024的一份起诉书，该起诉书指控俄罗斯国家媒体网络RT通过一家位于Tennessee的媒体公司Tenet Media秘密输送数百万美元；Tenet Media曾向Pool及其他保守派评论员支付内容费用。Pool和其他涉事评论员表示，他们并不知道资金来源于俄罗斯。

在July 21的个人帖文中，Loomer承认自己过去在乌克兰问题上是“wrong”的。这位MAGA影响者发帖称: "I've realized, I was wrong. I was living in a media echo chamber and I was propagandized by Russian media on social media to believe those things. So I came to Ukraine to see the country for myself. I am going to try to find evidence for the propaganda I've been fed, and if I don't find it, I will let everyone know so they too can come to see the light."

Loomer和Pool的双重转向在X上引发了广泛评论。NOTUS的Joe Gould提到Loomer访问乌克兰一事时发帖称: "Whatever Ukraine did to make this Loomer trip happen was a master stroke."

X用户@YourAnonCentral 写道: "F–– it, send Tim Pool and Joe Rogan to Ukraine next." 在回应Pool帖文的随后一条推文中，同一账号补充说："I WAS KIDDING [what] is this[?]"

Puck News的Julia Ioffe 发帖称: "I talked to @LauraLoomer about her trip to Ukraine. Among other things, I asked her who paid for her trip. 'Obviously, I have donors and whatnot,' she said. 'The government of Ukraine did not pay for me to go, if that's what you're asking.'" Ioffe链接到她在Puck News发表的文章《The Miseducation of Laura Loomer》——这是对R&B歌手Lauryn Hill 1998年专辑《The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill》的化用。

X用户Marvin Baumann 发帖称: "This is the clearest proof yet that Russian state finances are being obliterated."

另一名以Bishop为名发帖的X用户评论称: "watching all the MAGA acolytes turn pro-Ukraine."

记者兼作家John A. Daly 发帖称: "This 'sudden realization' by some on the Right that Ukraine is actually the good guy in the Russia/Ukraine War (when it was obvious all along) is pretty ridiculous to me, but I much prefer it over their previous spreading of Russian propaganda."
