NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Far-right provocateur and Donald Trump ally Laura Loomer made controversial remarks again when she claimed that she’s “blacker” than Vice President Kamala Harris.

This latest racially charged comment comes as Loomer joins a growing chorus of conservatives, including the former president, who have questioned Harris' racial identity.

Laura Loomer makes offensive racial taunt against Kamala Harris

On her October 18 episode of 'Loomer Unleashed' on Rumble, Laura Loomer took a swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris and accused her of “rolling out more of her fake accents.”



 

In a strikingly offensive remark, she said, “I mean, she might as well just start talking about fried chicken and watermelon because her policies and her outreach to Black Americans is very offensive.”

Loomer added, “I’m not Black, obviously. I’m not going to pretend to be Black like Kamala Harris does, although I will say I’m blacker than Kamala Harris.”

The incendiary remarks didn’t stop there. Loomer questioned Harris' commitment to Black Americans, scoffing, “How much more is she going to pander to Black people? ‘I’m gonna legalize weed.’ Does she think that all Black people smoke marijuana? Does she think all Black men are drug addicts?”

Laura Loomer’s remarks on Kamala Harris' racial identity mirror Donald Trump’s rhetoric

This rhetoric echoes Donald Trump's previous comments at the National Association of Black Journalists in July, where he similarly questioned Harris’s racial heritage, suggesting she was “only promoting Indian heritage” until she decided to identify as Black. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” he asked.

“I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person,” Trump stated. “I think somebody should look into that too,” he added, reported Independent.

Kamala Harris stands firm in her identity amid scrutiny

In response to the ongoing scrutiny of her identity, Kamala Kamala Harris has been unequivocal in her pride. “I’m Black, and I’m proud of being Black, and I was born Black; I will die Black,” she asserted during a 2019 interview on 'The Breakfast Club'.

Harris, whose mother is Indian and father is Jamaican, has openly discussed her identity and the significance of being Black in America.
