Have MAGA insiders speculated that far-right activist Laura Loomer influenced Sergio Gor’s nomination as U.S. ambassador to India?

Question

Accepted Answer

Loomer's speculation points to how MAGA's inner circle treats appointments as transactional favors. Bannon publicly floated Loomer for Gor's personnel job on August 23, 2025, the day after Gor's nomination—suggesting coordinated messaging. Loomer told Politico it would be an "honor" to serve, making her lobbying public. This is the patronage machine in action: ambassadorships clear space for allies, who then speculate openly about dividing the spoils, treating government posts as transferable assets within Trump's network.
