Right-wing activist and Trump adviser Laura Loomer sparked a wave of backlash after slamming the US Army for honoring a war hero because he is not 'US born' and spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Loomer penned a long post on X criticizing Army Secretary Dan Driscoll for recognizing the brave sacrifice of Florent Groberg, who tackled a suicide bomber in Afghanistan and saved the lives of his fellow soldiers.
A Friday post from the US Army was sent out on the 13-year anniversary of Groberg's selfless act, which left him with catastrophic injuries and a Medal of Honor.
'There are probably so many people who the Army could honor who have received the Medal of Honor,' Loomer wrote in response. 'But who did the Army choose to honor instead on their social media page under the Trump admin?'
They chose Groberg, she said, whom she characterized as 'an immigrant who voted for Hillary Clinton and spoke at the DNC as Obama's guest'.
'Are we supposed to believe the Army couldn't find a Republican and US born soldier?' she continued. 'Under the Army Secretary Dan Driscoll , there have been several instances of either him, or the Army promoting anti-Trump Leftists on their official social media channels.'
An Army official spoke anonymously to The Washington Post and called Loomer's attack 'despicable'.

Florent Groberg, who tackled a suicide bomber in Afghanistan and saved the lives of his fellow soldiers ... which left him with catastrophic injuries and a Medal of Honor.
Are we not supposed to honor him because he's a Democrat?
There are entrenched leftist and liberals in all levels of the government... and military.
They are always going to work on ways to sabotage any and everything Trump and the MAGA supporters want....
So this is definately an attempt to troll republicans, so they can be attacked and cowed for criticizing a medal of honor holder....
Just think, though.... Would anyone on the right be allowed to speak at a DNC convention?
Would anyone be allowed to speak, without attacking republicans and praising and supporting the democrat agenda?
Well, he spoke as an immigrant in support of electing hillary president, said she worked to support wounded warriors, how as president, she would reform the VA, and as commander in chief, she would defeat isis

The Army official is 100% correct. Loomer’s attack is disgusting, with the only mitigation being that some of the malevolence is due to her own ignorance.

I have no problem with him receiving this award regardless of party. I’m sure his fellow soldiers he saved had no problem with it either. They’re all brothers in arms.
“which left him with catastrophic injuries”
Maybe he had TBI or Traumatic Brain Injury. That could explain a hero voting Democrat.
Agree. It’s the anniversary of his heroic action. Of course, it is noteworthy.
He deserved it. Sometimes Laura needs to let things go.
Hi. An MOH ain’t nothing to sneeze at, period
.
I’m gonna take that limb n say the man was earning his citizenship.That means the man came to America, then enlisted.
On my time in the USAF, I have known El Salvadorans, who joined for their citizenship. Same with some Thai folks.
That was in the 1970’s.
Anyone pouring their nativist views up ony brothers and sisters of the (fatigue) cloth, can purchase “a bad dragon”, and apply it, thusly!
Loomer acting like Loomer again.
Loomer has zero, zip, zilch military experience, neither do the majority of congressional or government reps/workers.
That gaggle doesn’t deserve nor has earned the right to criticize the battle worn heros. No cred. They have an opinion, but in reality that isn’t worth much.
Laura should tackle a suicide bomber , then she can crow all she wants, until then, she should take a huge dose of stfu .
Sheesh…. Influencers, is there anything that these attention whores won’t spew in an effort to aggrandize their “accomplishments” ?
Loomer, in a lifetime of “achievements “, won’t ever match the soldier’s act of bravery and sacrifice.
Looney Loomer has always been a disgusting pig
I don’t know why so many here idolize her
Someone, please make her go away
I wonder what he thinks of the daughter of Satan being behind the Russia collusion hoax coup attempt. Trump and Guiliani merely question the 2020 election and they get indicted. The daughter of Satan attempts a coup and the left celebrates her like a hero.
Perhaps politicians need “optics” training.
I agree with the others who say that Loomer is wrong.
