WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) and far-right commentator Laura Loomer engaged in a feud over social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over an 'extremely racist' post made by the latter attacking Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
According to HuffPost, the post prompted Congresswoman Greene to disassociate Republicans and MAGA supporters from the message and slam Loomer for her statement.
What did Laura Loomer post about Kamala Harris?
Taking to X on Sunday, September 8, Loomer retweeted Kamala Harris sharing a photograph of her grandparents, writing, "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 led to Loomer launching a barrage of personal attacks against Greene.
"Once again, @mtgreenee who is extremely jealous and vindictive over the fact that she wasn’t successful in turning Donald Trump against me is now behaving like a leftist and accusing me of being 'racist'," she wrote in a tweet.
