I did not expect this!

Laura Loomer has been spreading russian propaganda for a long time and now she just said this:

"A lot of us just became overly sympathetic to Russia... But now when I see Russians say things like "we need to denazify Ukraine" and "we need to continue our brutal war with Ukraine", while they pretend to be some Orthodox Christian country, but they're slaughtering hundreds of 1000s of young Christians in Ukraine, and then they're supporting actual neo-Nazis in the U.S. I'm like, "Wow, we fell for Russian propaganda", and I fell for Russian propaganda.

I've been so anti-Ukraine for so long, and I have parroted these talking points, thinking that I was saying the right thing, not recognizing how I was being emotionally manipulated by propaganda online.

I felt a little embarrassed, to be completely honest, sending a correspondent to Ukraine because I thought, well, people are going to attack me, and they're going to say that I'm a hypocrite, and they're not going to be gracious, and they're not going to give me an opportunity to change my opinion."

P.S. Thank you Ostap Yarysh for reference.
