Marjorie Taylor Greene declares Laura Loomer lacks 'right mentality' to advise Trump after heated feud
WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that Laura Loomer was not in the "right mentality to advise" former President Donald Trump, following a heated social media feud triggered by Loomer's racist post about Vice President Kamala Harris.
Addressing media on Thursday, September 12, the Georgia Republican "completely denounced" Loomer, who was reportedly increasing her involvement in Trump's campaign. Greene told reporters she was "over" the explosive clash, as per Mediaite.
"This is such an important election," the lawmaker noted. "I don’t think she has the experience or the right mentality to advise a very important presidential election."

Although Loomer is not officially part of Trump's campaign, there were rumors that she was advising the former president. She arrived in Philadelphia on Trump's plane before the September 10 debate against Harris and also accompanied him to the 9/11 memorial ceremony.
Marjorie Taylor Greene declares Laura Loomer not 'MAGA' after deciding to move on from feud
"I'm not involved in their conversations," Marjorie Taylor Greene said, indicating that she was not part of Laura Loomer's involvement in the Trump campaign.
"So I can't weigh in on that, but I do know this: that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, does not match MAGA, does not match most Republicans I know. And I am completely denouncing it. I’m over it, and I would encourage anyone else that matches her statements to stop," she added.
Greene and Loomer exchanged personal attacks after Loomer tweeted on September 11 that the "White House will smell like curry" if Harris, who has an Indian mother, wins in November.
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. @LauraLoomer should take this down. https://t.co/z9s5fZlgQi
The far-right activist included numerous Indian stereotypes, which Greene condemned as "appalling and extremely racist."
In response to Greene's criticism, Loomer took to X (formerly Twitter) with a lengthy post, calling the congresswoman a "trailer trash harpy." Loomer accused Greene of being "jealous and vindictive" for failing to turn Trump against her and also threatened to "expose" Greene.
In another X post, Loomer claimed Greene used to "beg" her to write one-liners about Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to read in Congress.
