The right’s anti-Candace coalition is finally here.

Instagram MAHA influencer and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acolyte Jessica Reed Kraus has never been a fan of Laura Loomer. Over the past year, Kraus has repeatedly told her 1.2 million Instagram followers about the top administration officials who have blocked Loomer online, mocked Loomer for not getting access to the White House, and dubbed her “insane,” “reckless and lazy,” and a “clown show,” among many other epithets.

Loomer, no shrinking violet when it comes to online vitriol, once called Kraus an “insufferable cunt.”

“We had a falling out last year that prompted her to text-call me a cunt more than a dozen times,” Kraus recalled to her readers earlier this month. She went on to call her combatant one of the Trump movement’s “most brutal ruffians.”

But in the vicious factionalism of the MAGA movement—where character assassination has become both theology and an art form—there is one thing on which even bitter enemies can find common ground: the need to take down Candace Owens.

In a post on Monday, Kraus revealed that she was letting bygones be bygones and falling firmly behind Loomer’s kamikaze campaign to destroy Owens.

“Only crazy can match crazy. No one besides Loomer is equipped for this battle.”

Well, there is another. False Flag is equipped for the battle. But it needs your support. Become a Bulwark+ member.

The unnatural alliance is the latest illustration of how worried MAGA and MAHA influencers have become that their movements are at risk of being fractured from within—and that one person above all others is chiefly responsible.

Owens has spent months spreading conspiracy theories and antisemitic bile, targeting fellow activists (chief among them Erika Kirk) and now President Trump himself (mainly over the war in Iran). Having exhausted all prior methods for trying to stop her, a consensus is emerging that only a fellow maniac like Loomer can get it done.

For weeks, Owens and Loomer have been trading insults on X. Owens has compared Loomer’s face to the malevolent puppet Jigsaw from the Saw movies. Last week, Loomer told Owens that “God hates you.”

“It’s why he gave Charlie [Kirk] to Erika and why you didn’t even get to say goodbye to him,”

Insults are par for the course for these two. But by even their venomous standards, the back and forth has been . . . a lot.

The latest twist: After weeks of Loomer and Kraus hyping up a court record in Owens’s home state of Tennessee suggesting that Owens’s husband, mega-wealthy British metals heir George Farmer, was arrested for drunk-driving in 2023, Loomer finally got the goods this week. She posted Farmer’s mug shot, a report saying his blood alcohol content was a whopping .261, and a picture of the busted-up truck Farmer allegedly plowed into a ditch. This incident came at a time when Owens was pregnant with their third child.

“We should figure out how to nominate Loomer for a Pulitzer,”

tweeted Meghan McCain after Loomer’s document dump.
