A MAGA firebrand put Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in her crosshairs just hours after the pair landed in Russia for peace talks.On Saturday, Kushner and Witkoff arrived in Moscow to meet with special representatives for Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Trump said on Friday that Kushner and Witkoff are carrying a proposal to "end the war" in Ukraine, adding, "We have an idea for peace."Trump loyalist and MAGA diehard Laura Loomer wasn't buying the Trump administration's message, however. She took to X to cast doubt on the Trump envoy's mission and rally more of MAGA against them."Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are in Moscow, Russia," Loomer wrote. "They just arrived for more 'peace talks' despite the fact that Putin is aiding the Iranians in killing US soldiers."Loomer notably used to be fiercely anti-Ukraine, a country she once claimed was "full of Nazis," PBS reported. She visited the country in July, and since then, has reversed course. She said that she was "bamboozled by Russian propaganda" and "came to believe a lot of untrue things about Ukraine," CNN reported. She called out Russia in her Saturday rant."Meanwhile, Russia continues to pummel Ukraine with ballistic missiles and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon," Loomer wrote. "Everyday, Ukrainian civilians are slaughtered and Putin has shown no good faith in ending the war."She then added that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky "has offered to travel to the US to sign a peace deal to end the war, but Putin continues his aggression against Ukraine." She then tied Putin to Iran again, writing that he hasn't stopped "his support for the Islamic regime of Iran despite pretending to support President Trump."Loomer demanded, "We should stop pretending like Russia isn't a terrorist state," and mentioned that "Russia is still holding 10 Americans hostage as well," although groups like the Foley Foundation report that at least six Americans are detained in Russia.

The US outlet Axios reported that they were expected to meet the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, later in the day. The visit came as Trump suggested on Friday a new proposal to end the war, without providing any details on what his new plan might be. Trump made ending the war a priority early in his second term, but his efforts have so far yielded little results. Continue reading...
