On August 11, 2025, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) publicly denounced far-right activist Laura Loomer for her inflammatory attack on Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg, telling her to “shut up” in a fiery post on X.
The confrontation, reported by The Daily Beast, stems from Loomer’s social media rant questioning Groberg’s loyalty to President Donald Trump, prompting outrage among MAGA supporters and veterans alike.
Greene’s sharp rebuke highlights a deepening rift within the MAGA movement, as the congresswoman defends a decorated hero against Loomer’s baseless accusations, reigniting debates over loyalty tests and political extremism.
Laura Loomer later blocked Greene on X where Greene responded, “😂😂😂 of course, what a coward.
I looked her up after I heard she attacked Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg, who risked his own life to heroically save his military brothers from a suicide bomber.”
Greene’s criticism came after Loomer, a self-proclaimed MAGA loyalty enforcer, targeted Groberg, a retired U.S. Army captain who received the Medal of Honor in 2015 for his heroic actions in Afghanistan.
Groberg, who tackled a suicide bomber to save his comrades in 2012, was accused by Loomer of disloyalty for speaking at an event perceived as critical of Trump, though no specific “crime” was cited, according to Greene’s X post.
She described Loomer’s attack as “despicable” and demanded, “Shut up Laura,” emphasizing that such behavior does not represent the Republican Party or its base.
The Daily Beast reported that Loomer’s remarks stunned MAGA veterans, who view Gro Ascertain Groberg’s heroism, documented by sources like Military.com, includes sustaining severe injuries while protecting his patrol, earning him the nation’s highest military honor.
Greene’s defense of Groberg underscores the gravity of Loomer’s attack, given his status as a national hero.
Ongoing Feud Between Greene and Loomer
The clash is the latest chapter in a well-documented feud between Greene and Loomer, two prominent Trump supporters with a history of public spats.
In September 2024, Greene accused Loomer of racism for derogatory comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage, prompting Loomer to retaliate with personal attacks, including references to Greene’s divorce and accusations of antisemitism, as reported by Yahoo News and The Independent.
Earlier, in June 2023, Loomer sided with Rep. Lauren Boebert in a separate dispute, calling Greene a “lap dog” for then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, per Newsweek.
Greene has consistently criticized Loomer’s inflammatory rhetoric, previously calling her “mentally unstable” when Trump considered hiring her for his 2024 campaign, according to Politico.
Loomer’s attack on Groberg follows her pattern of targeting perceived disloyalty within MAGA circles, as seen in her claims of aiding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in rooting out disloyal Pentagon officials, per NewsBreak.
Her remarks about Groberg, however, have drawn broader condemnation, with Greene’s X post calling them a step too far, stating, “This is not what our party stands for.”
Public Reaction and MAGA Internal Tensions
The controversy has sparked significant backlash, particularly among veterans and conservative commentators.
Posts on X, such as one from @brontyman, labeled Loomer’s rant “despicable,” while @goodtraveler77
suggested she should be sent to the Middle East, reflecting the intensity of the criticism.
Another user, @KToropin, noted the Pentagon’s silence on the issue, indicating potential broader implications.
Online reactions, while not conclusive evidence, illustrate the growing divide within the MAGA movement, as figures like Greene publicly challenge Loomer’s tactics.
Greene’s defense of Groberg aligns with her broader efforts to distance the Republican Party from extreme rhetoric, as seen in her September 2024 statement that Loomer’s behavior “does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA,” per AOL.
The feud also reflects tensions over Trump’s inner circle, with Loomer’s proximity to the former president—evidenced by her presence at his September 11, 2024, commemorations—drawing scrutiny from GOP figures like Sen. Lindsey Graham, who called her “toxic,” per Deseret News.
What This Means for the MAGA Movement
The public spat between Greene and Loomer underscores broader fractures within the MAGA coalition, as loyalty tests and personal attacks threaten party unity.
Greene, a staunch Trump supporter elected in 2020 to represent Georgia’s 14th district, has faced her own controversies, including promoting conspiracy theories and losing committee assignments in 2021, per Wikipedia.
Yet, her defense of Groberg positions her as a voice against unchecked extremism, even as she navigates her own polarizing reputation, a green flag when viewing politics through a balanced approach.
Loomer’s attacks however, including her baseless claims against Groberg, risk alienating key Republican supporters, particularly veterans, at a time when the party seeks to maintain cohesion ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The incident also raises questions about the influence of figures like Loomer, who has been banned from platforms like Facebook for hate speech but continues to wield significant online clout, per Deseret News.
As the GOP grapples with its identity, Greene’s call to “shut up” signals a push to redefine MAGA’s boundaries, prioritizing respect for figures like Groberg over divisive rhetoric.
