'How stupid!' MAGA figures tear into each other as far-right guns for GOP lawyer

Two prominent figures within President Donald Trump's MAGA movement are ripping into each other over the plight of a Trumpworld lawyer whose loyalties have been thrown into question.

Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theory figure known for having Trump's ear, is calling for the dismissal of Stanley Woodward, the third-in-command at the Justice Department, on the grounds that his wife supports Democratic causes. But this has raised the hackles of Peter Navarro, the president's longtime trade adviser, who went out of his way to pen a response for the Daily Caller.

"Loomer is now using X to carpet-bomb Stanley Woodward, the No. 3 lawyer at the Department of Justice, because she wants him fired. Talk about a misfire," wrote Navarro. "Woodward is one of the very few lawyers in the D.C. swamp who actually fought for President Trump when Joe Biden’s weaponized lawfare machine was trying to put the greatest president in modern history behind bars for more than 700 years. At great cost to his own career, Woodward also represented some of the president’s most trusted advisers — Dan Scavino, Walt Nauta, Kash Patel, Brian Jack, and others in Trump’s orbit. He even fought for many January 6 defendants while the white-shoe firms shut their doors and the legal establishment looked the other way."

Navarro followed this up by polling his followers on X, "If a man has a wife who is a liberal, he should be FIRED from a conservative administration. Agree or disagree?" — but he clearly didn't like the result he got, as many seemed to side with Loomer.

"Let me get this straight. Around half of you reading this post think that a man should include the ideology of his spouse on his resume and that can be a disqualifier," wrote Navarro. "Do you have any idea how stupid that is? Any idea at all? STUPID. X is now officially the graveyard of common sense."

At this point, Loomer chimed in.

"Hilarious. @RealPNavarro attacked me today with an OpEd protecting a Democrat I exposed, and then he ran a poll to see if people agreed with me. Now he is shocked people agree with me," she wrote. "It’s not rocket science: We don’t want Democrats who sued President Trump working at DOJ!"

Loomer has been responsible for getting a number of other people dismissed from the Trump administration, including a four-star general heading up the U.S. Cyber Command.
