Guess which one of Trump’s minions is getting dragged this week? A white nationalist personality who was caught on social media putting all types of racist slander and expletives on Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who recently passed from pancreatic cancer.
No, not even Laura Loser Loomer has respect for the dead. In an X post, she reposted a tweet from Jackson Lee’s account published the day she died that read, “I have no idea what Donald Trump was talking about last night. For more than an hour, he rambled and lied. He is unfit for the Presidency! Now, my friends, is the time to focus on beating him and his Project 2025 monstrosity. Enough is enough.”
Loomer added her own two cents in response to the post in a lengthy, disrespectful and quite disgusting rant.
“Even on her deathbed, this ghetto bitch couldn’t keep President Trump’s name out of her disgusting mouth. Sheila Jackson Lee will be remembered as a destructive force in America and one of the most low IQ members of Congress in the history of our nation. She won’t be missed. But, I’m sure she will still be voting Democrat this November. Good riddance!” she tweeted.
Damn, tell us how you really feel. If you thought that was bad, Loomer’s tweet pretty much opened the door for more conservative, MAGA-loving jokers to drag Ms. Jackson Lee from her grave. On the other side, many Black users ran to Jackson Lee’s defense to set the record straight on her alleged “low IQ” and assert that Loomer’s comment wasn’t some expert critique but just another racist rant.
“These are the words of a rabid racist who represents everything that is rancid and rotten about the far right. There is a special place in hell for Laura Loomer,” tweeted Rep. Ritchie Torres, Lee’s former colleague in the Congressional Black Caucus.
“Sheila Jackson Lee went to Yale. She graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law. She was a lawyer, a judge on the city council, and a congresswoman. But Republicans see a Black person and think, ‘Ghetto.’ But don’t call them racists,” wrote another user.
I mean, Loomer took to the internet to kill off Biden saying “final preparations” are being made for him and also accused Kamala Harris of not being worthy of the primary ballot because she doesn’t have any kids (while also not having any kids her damn self but, I digress). Did we expect anything less from her?
Loomer doubled down on her disrespect in another tweet saying everything she claimed about the late representative was true and that if the Democrats let her give the eulogy, “she would’ve told the truth about her failed legacy and destructive policies.”
The Texas congresswoman was known for decades to be an advocate for the Black community. Most notably, she pushed the creation of Juneteenth as a national holiday, federal legislation to hold police accountably for brutality against Black folks and reparations. Jackson Lee’s run in Congress didn’t go without controversy, considering a lawsuit that caused her to step down from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
However, she remains one of the fearless Black women who was determined to make change while working in a government designed to shut her out.
