A sharp rift in Trump world exploded into open view after the debate as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tore into Trump confidante Laura Loomer for an ‘extremely racist posting’ and ripped her ‘hateful tone.’
The full-on attack from MAGA-loyalist Greene came after Trump advisor Loomer traveled with Trump on his plane to the debate in Philadelphia where Trump forwarded a conspiracy theory about migrants eating pets that had some prognosticators saying the performance did grievous harm to his campaign.
Loomer, who has put forward a raft of conspiracy theories, has also made September 11th ‘truther’ posts, also accompanied Trump to Ground Zero Tuesday for the 9/11 commemorations.
The Georgia lawmaker reposted a statement on X by Loomer stating that if Vice President Kamala Harris 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.’ That post came from September 8.
‘This is appalling and extremely racist. 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 brushed off the attack on Harris’s Indian heritage, saying she was joking. Trump himself said he was fine with Harris’s racial identity after being asked in the debate about his past comment saying she ‘turned’ black.
‘I don’t care what she is. I don’t care. You make a big deal out of something. I couldn’t care less. Whatever she wants to be is okay with me,’ Trump said about Harris in the debate.

Loomer has also called herself a ‘proud Islamophobe’ and who is ‘pro-white nationalism.’ Trump backed her failed 2020 run for Congress.
The attack from Greene, who is herself a lightning rod in the Republican House, comes after several conservative commentators including Brit Hume on Fox News Channel said Harris won the debate and said Trump ‘rose to the bait repeatedly’ amid Harris’s attacks.
Green uncorked still more attacks at the Capitol on Thursday. ‘I have concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone. To me, many of the comments that she makes and how she attacks Republicans like me, many other Republicans that are strong supporters of President Trump, I think they’re a huge problem, and that doesn’t represent MAGA as a whole,’ she told DailyMail.com and a group of reporters amid the ongoing fallout.
‘I typically try to ignore her post, but someone had sent me that post about Kamala Harris, and it bothered me so much. And you know, my personality, everyone knows I’m outspoken, and I just felt like it was time to call it out. I think it’s wrong. We’re not a party of identity politics. We’re a party for all Americans,’ the lawmaker said.
Loomer, who traveled with Donald Trump to the debate and on Sept. 11th, continued to post Wednesday about the pet eating conspiracy that Trump brought up at the debate
She called for going after Harris on inflation and the border, ‘not attacking them because they may not have children and they love their pets, and I don’t want to have anything to do with that.’ That appeared to be a reference both the pet-eating conspiracy Trump forwarded and running mate JD Vance’s past remark about ‘childless cat ladies.’

‘While you were busy having sexual affairs, cheating on your husband and getting divorced, and propping up @SpeakerMcCarthy and engaging in insider trading in Congress @MTG, I broke many of the stories regarding the weaponized lawfare against President Trump.’
‘I have done all of the heavy lifting while you have been writing books and attacking Trump’s closest Allies in an effort to elevate yourself,’ she wrote.
She continued tweeting about the rift through the day Thursday. ‘I stand by everything I have said. I will not be deleting any tweets.’
Nor did Loomer back down from Trump’s comments about pet eating at the debate.
‘They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. Time to send them back,’ she posted.
Axios reported that Loomer was ‘egging’ Trump on en route to the debate, even as advisors have counselled him to hammer Harris on the economy and try to tie her to President Biden.
Greene herself has been a lightning rod, calling January 6 defendants housed at a D.C. jail ‘political prisoners.’
