Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) and conservative personality Laura Loomer. The conflict began after Loomer criticized Gimenez, claiming he was upset about losing his bid to chair the House Homeland Security Committee and accusing him of being aligned with Venezuelan interests she opposes. Gimenez responded by defending his support for Venezuelans fighting for freedom and accusing Loomer of spreading misinformation. Loomer called Gimenez an &#8220;America Last RINO&#8221; and part of a &#8220;Congressional Cuban Mafia,&#8221; criticizing his stance on Venezuelan oil and accusing him of favoritism in political appointments. Gimenez dismissed her allegations as uninformed and defended his Republican credentials. Additionally, the article notes that although Gimenez has been rumored to run for Miami mayor, the election has been postponed to 2026, and he has not officially declared a candidacy. The piece highlights the sharp ideological and personal clashes between the two figures within the Florida Republican and conservative scene.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Republican feuds with Laura Loomer: &lsquo;Doesn&rsquo;t have the faintest idea&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2185385\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3393409\/carlos-gimenez-medicaid-benefits-not-touched-budget-reconciliation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Carlos Gimenez<\/a> (R-FL) sparred with conservative personality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3430210\/laura-loomer-jd-vance-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Laura Loomer<\/a> on X Wednesday, exchanging insults with Loomer over whether he is exiting Congress to run for Mayor of Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Loomer says Gimenez is &ldquo;pissed&rdquo; he lost his bid to become the Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee.
