Greene, Loomer get into back-and-forth over ‘racist’ Harris attack
The Hill ^ | 09/12/24 11:21 AM ET | Sarakshi Rai

Two top allies of former President Trump are warring on social media about a bigoted social media post mocking Vice President Harris’s Indian heritage, exposing fault lines within the Republican presidential candidate’s inner circle.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer, a former congressional candidate with a lengthy history of anti-Muslim comments, and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) have been engaged in a war of words on the social platform X, with Greene calling Loomer “appalling and extremely racist” for her recent comments.

Loomer quoted a Sunday post in which Harris was talking about her Indian heritage and said that if she 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.”

On Thursday night, three days after Loomer’s post, Greene posted a response saying the 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.”

The two Trump allies have since been in an intense back-and-forth on X, with Loomer calling Greene a “raging antisemite” and defending her initial post as a “funny joke about Kamala Harris” using “her Indian mom as a way to dodge questions.”

Greene, who has also come under criticism for fanning antisemitic conspiracy theories, slammed Loomer’s comments in another post, adding that “when it comes to post that are flat out racist, hateful, and make President Trump look bad, she needs to be responsible and delete them.”

Loomer also repeatedly attacked Greene over her divorce. “Along with being an anti semite, MTG is also a poor excuse for a Christian,” Loomer wrote in one post.

This public feud played out as Loomer was spotted accompanying Trump as he commemorated the anniversary of 9/11 in New York and Pennsylvania on Wednesday.

Loomer, who previously called the 9/11 attacks an “inside job”, told The Associated Press that she doesn’t work for the Trump campaign and that she was “invited as a guest.” She did not respond to questions about her past statements about 9/11.

She was also spotted departing Trump’s plane when he landed in Philadelphia for Tuesday’s debate against Harris.

Loomer said that Greene’s attacks on X were motivated by jealousy. “Nobody talks about her anymore because she’s annoying and irrelevant and a sellout,” she wrote in one post.

Loomer has also pushed false conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, gaining national attention. The unfounded claims were later repeated by Trump during his debate against Harris, as well as amplified by his running mate Sen. JD Vance (Ohio).

Reached for comment, Greene’s office pointed to comments she made on the Capitol steps, saying she has “concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone.”

“Laura Loomer’s outright lies, instability, and manic toxicity have no place in MAGA,” Greene posted on X.

Loomer posted that she would not be replying to requests for comment on X. “To the many reporters who are calling me and obsessively asking me to talk to them today, the answer is no.”

The two women have a history of engaging in public spats after Greene publicly warned Trump against hiring Loomer last year, calling her “mentally unstable” and a “documented liar.”

The New York Times reported that Trump met with Loomer last year and directed advisers to give her a position supporting his candidacy, potentially with the campaign itself or with a super PAC aligned with the former president’s 2024 White House bid.

A Trump campaign official later confirmed to The Hill that Loomer was not being hired. She confirmed her employment status in a post Wednesday.

“I do not work for President Trump. I do not work for anyone, actually. I operate independently out of my love for my country and a love for the truth,” she wrote.

Loomer has personally attacked MTG, offering what she calls "oppo research" to anyone (including Democrats) trying to unseat her. That's breaking President Reagan's 11th Commandment. I'm glad President Trump's campaign has kept her at arm's length. The Times's story about President Trump wanting Loomer to have a campaign gig is blatantly false.

...Loomer, who previously called the 9/11 attacks an “inside job”...

Two 911 conspiracy theorists die in a car crash and find themselves in front of the Lord. In a pleading voice one of them says 'Lord I beg you, before you pass judgement upon us to answer us this one question: Who is responsible for 911?' The Lord rolls back his eyes and in a tired voice says 'Islamic Terrorists organized and financed by the Saudi billionaire Osama Bin Liden'.  The now dead theorist says to the other: ' Wow! This goes even deeper than I thought!'

As if there isn’t anything about Harris’ positions, policies and actions to attack instead. Loomer is an idiot.

“If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas”, and with Loomer, probably an STD.

If Trump chooses to hang with losers, not surprising when he loses.

Last I heard from Laura Loomer, she posted a hoax obituary for Jimmy Carter that included disparaging comments about Nancy Reagan.

Loomer was funny. MTG can have her opinion.
I do agree our side is never as united as Democrats who actually hate each other with many racial and demographic lines.How about no push back in Brandon calling Indians stinky and smelly and owning all 7-11s? WTF brought cocaine into the White House?

Laura Loomer is not and has never been married. And she is not a Christian.

End of discussion!

Loomer and MTG are both on the crap for brains side, we are in the middle of a race for POTUS that will have a huge effect on our country and these two bitches are cat fighting over social media.

Both profess to love Trump, how about showing your love and work to get him elected instead of fighting each other in public.

“Loomer was funny. MTG can have her opinion.”

MTG has been feuding with Lauren Boebert and Laura Loomer for a long time. I like all three of these ladies. They’re fighters. Just wish they would focus more on the Democrats (and RINOs) and less on each other.

I suggest we get them both to jump into skimpy bathing suits and mud wrestle it out.

Throw Lauren in there too for good measure and past paybacks.

If we are doing breads and circuses, let’s do it right.

After all, Mayorkas is now in charge of the vote counting, so...THERE GOES ANY ILLUSION OF THE REPUBLIC.

It was an inside job.

Able Danger knew it was going to happen and the FedGov LET it happen as you described to ensure the expansion of the police State (DHS and TSA).

The cover up comes from psy-ops throwing up a million idiot conspiracy theories to hide this fact. From thermite to Bld 7.

Anyone questioning the initial narrative and “how could this happen” is instantly labeled a Troofer nut case.
