Laura Loomer took aim at Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy following his refusal to support Elon Musk's ally Jared Isaacman for the NASA administrator position.

The 32-year-old Donald Trump supporter has actively pushed for Isaacman's nomination after the billionaire was removed from consideration earlier this year amidst a fallout between Musk and Trump. Duffy currently serves in the role on an interim basis and seeks to maintain control over the space agency, potentially making NASA part of the Department of Transportation, according to Politico.

Notable advocates for Isaacman, including Montana Senator Tim Sheehy and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, are attempting to restore the billionaire entrepreneur, pilot and commercial astronaut to the nomination process.

Loomer's frustration with Duffy, who Musk recently dubbed "Sean Dummy," is palpable. She argued that without Isaacman, the U.S. risks losing the space race to China. "But, you know, that's what happens when you have a reality TV star and you make him the Department of Transportation secretary," Loomer remarked.

Duffy first gained fame in the 1990s as a star on the Boston season of MTV's The Real World before embarking on a political career that led to a decade-long tenure in Congress.

After Loomer criticized Duffy for blocking the nomination of Isaacman, she highlighted the negative impact his decisions could have on America's leadership in space."Sean said that NASA might benefit from being part of the Cabinet, maybe even within the Department of Transportation, but he's never said he wants to keep the job himself," a spokesperson stated.

The White House maintained that "discussions about who will take the job are ongoing, and the president has yet to make a decision." Isaacman, 42, had his nomination retracted in June after a "thorough review" of his previous associations, revealed Trump.

Isaacman maintained a close relationship with Musk after purchasing his first chartered flight on SpaceX in 2021. Speculation suggests that Sergio Gor, a White House Presidential Personnel Office official, played a role in pushing Isaacman out amid disputes with Musk and failure to consult personnel officials on key decisions.

In a conversation with the "All-In Podcast" following his exit, Isaacman expressed ongoing support for Trump but indicated that the speculation surrounding his withdrawal is accurate. "I mean, people can draw their own conclusions but I think the directions people are going in seems to check out to me," he stated.

Isaacman clarified that the conflict wasn't personal, noting, "one person decided to make a move" against him. He added that the withdrawal of his nomination may have coincided with Musk's separation from the administration."I had a pretty good idea, I don't think the timing was much of a coincidence. Obviously, there was more than one departure that was covered on that day," he said.

The entrepreneur attributed his situation to "some people" with "axes to grind" against him or Musk, labeling himself a "good, visible target." He described someone, likely Gor, as "an influential advisor coming in and saying: 'Here's the facts and I think we gotta kill this guy.'"

"I want to be overwhelmingly clear: I don't fault the president," Isaacman clarified.

The president reportedly reversed the nomination after learning about Isaacman's past donations to Democrats. However, MAGA stalwarts suspect Trump might have been set up by insiders determined to undermine Musk by hitting his friend. Loomer questioned whether Isaacman faced retaliation due to his connections with Musk during this tumultuous time."There is reason to believe that Isaacman may be facing retaliation because of his friendship with Elon Musk. If so, this would suggest there is a coordinated hit job on Isaacman in an effort to damage ties between Pr
