On September 8, Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly criticized Laura Loomer for a tweet that contained racist stereotypes about Kamala Harris. Loomer, known for her far-right views and previous anti-Muslim remarks, made a derogatory comment about Harris's Indian heritage, suggesting that if Harris were to win, the White House would be associated with curry and call centers. Greene condemned Loomer's tweet as 'appalling and extremely racist,' asserting that it does not reflect the values of the Republican Party or President Trump. In response, Loomer accused Greene of being an 'anti-Semite' and claimed her tweet was merely a joke. Both women have faced accusations of spreading hate, yet they have received support from Trump. Loomer has a history of making inflammatory remarks, including those targeting Representative Ilhan Omar, while Greene has been known for her controversial statements regarding various issues, including conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the Parkland shooting. Greene's remarks about Loomer highlight a rift within the far-right community, as both women have been allies of Trump but have differing views on what constitutes acceptable rhetoric. Greene's history of inflammatory comments led to her being stripped of committee assignments in 2021, yet she continues to maintain a strong presence in Trump’s political circle. The exchange between Greene and Loomer underscores the ongoing tensions within the Republican Party regarding race, identity, and the boundaries of acceptable political discourse, raising questions about the future of their alliance and the implications for the party's image.
