Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Trump pal Laura Loomer for ‘extremely racist’ post about Kamala Harris

MAGA stalwart Marjorie Taylor Greene called out far-right agitator Laura Loomer on Wednesday, accusing the failed congressional candidate of racism and misrepresenting the Republican party for a post about Kamala Harris featuring racist stereotypes about South Asians.

On September 8, in response to a post from Harris featuring photos from a childhood visit to India, Loomer, a self-proclaimed “proud Islamophobe” who was once kicked off Twitter for anti-Muslim remarks, claimed:“If @KamalaHarris wins, 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.”

“This is appalling and extremely racist,” Georgia Representative Greene said in response on X. “It 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.”

Loomer then fired back, calling Greene a “raging anti semite” and claimed her post was a “funny joke about Kamala Harris” using “her Indian mom as a way to dodge questions.”

Both women, in fact, have long been accused of spreading hate, accusations that haven’t stopped either from getting praise from Donald Trump.

Loomer has made hateful remarks about Representative Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia, and once called for a new ridesharing service that didn’t allow Muslims.

The far-right personality unsuccesffuly ran for Congress in Florida in 2022, and has been praised by Donald Trump on multiple occasions.

She even flew with Trump to Tuesday’s presidential debate, and was with him the following day.

Greene has her own history of inflammatory remarks, including spreading conspiracies about 9/11, the Parkland shooting, and claiming before she was elected that a prominent Jewish banking family used a space laser to start fires in California.

She also accused congresswomen Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom are Muslim, of not being “really official” members of Congress because they didn’t take their oaths of office over a Bible.

“I really want to go talk to these ladies and ask them what they are thinking, and why they are serving in our American government,” Greene said. “They really should go back to the Middle East.”

Greene’s history of inflammatory claims prompted Democrats to strip her of her committee assignments in 2021.

Greene is a longtime ally of Trump, and regularly appears at his campaign rallies, including an event in June where she compared the former president to Jesus Christ.

Trump, for his part, regularly taunts Harris over her heritage, intentionally misprouncing her name and accusing Harris — whose father is from Jamaica, who attended an HBCU, and who pledged one of the nation’s largest Black sorrorities — of only suddenly deciding to “turn Black.”
