The words of one right-wing activist in particular were so racist and out of line that even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had to condemn them.
On Sunday (Sept. 8), former congressional candidate and Trump associate Laura Loomer quoted a post on X in which Vice President Kamala Harris was discussing her Indian heritage. Then, Loomer grossly disparaged a Harris presidency.
She wrote that if the VP wins the election, “the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.”
The post is still up on the site but comes with the warning: “Visibility limited: this Post may violate X’s rules against Hateful Conduct.” In a turn of events that literally no one saw coming, Greene took to the social media app on Wednesday (Sept. 11) to share her disdain regarding Loomer’s words.
Greene said that Loomer’s comment “does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever.”
Despite having a history of antisemitic and racist remarks herself, Green felt some kind of way about Loomer’s hateful message. Since then, the two have been going back and forth on X. Loomer called Greene a “raging antisemite” and said that her initial post a “funny joke about Kamala Harris.”
Greene explained in a different post that “when it comes to post[s] that are flat out racist, hateful, and make President Trump look bad, [Loomer] needs to be responsible and delete them.”
In a statement to The Hill, a Trump campaign spokesperson confirmed that despite ties to the former president, Loomer does not work for him.
You know it’s bad when your racism is so flagrant Trump doesn’t want to be tied you in any official capacity. However, we doubt this will be the last of Loomer’s buffoonery.
