    Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Out Laura Loomer's Racist Comments In Surprising Internet Feud

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and far-right commentator Laura Loomer butted heads on social media Wednesday, after Loomer made an egregiously racist post about Vice President Kamala Harris.

    In a post on X, Loomer said that the White House will “smell like curry” if Harris, who is South Asian, wins the presidential election.

    “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,” Loomer wrote on X in response to a post Harris had made about her family.

    That went too far for Greene, who jumped to Harris’ defense.

    “This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA,” she responded . “This does not represent President Trump. This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever.”

    Loomer, known for her extreme anti-Muslim beliefs, fired back at Greene in multiple posts attacking her personally, and also doubled down on her smears of Harris.

    Loomer was seen palling around with Trump as part of his entourage at the Philadelphia airport ahead of the ABC News presidential debate Tuesday night. On Wednesday, she joined Trump in New York to commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks .

    In a statement to The Associated Press, Loomer said that she doesn’t work for the Trump campaign and that she was “invited as a guest.”

    Last year, Loomer posted a video on social media claiming the 9/11 terror attacks were an “inside job,” a conspiracy she tied to then-President George W. Bush’s secretary of state, Donald Rumsfeld, according to the AP.

    Greene, too, has spewed dangerous rhetoric and offensive statements over the years, including aspects of the sprawling Qanon conspiracy theory, which posits that former President Donald Trump is fighting a “deep state” of child-abusing Democrats, CNN reported . In 2021, she used an offensive term for Asian people to tout diversity within the Republican party.

    Wow I’m beginning to think that many of these people really and truly do not know what the term racist means. This whole conversation is pot meet kettle. Insert eye roll.
