'Appalling and extremely racist': Marjorie Taylor Greene rips Trump ally over Harris post
Firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — no stranger to being accused of racist rhetoric and views — blasted a fellow right-wing Trump ally on Wednesday, calling her views "appalling and extremely racist."
The Georgia lawmaker took to the social media site X on Wednesday to lay into Laura Loomer, a far-right political activist, internet personality and failed Congressional candidate known for espousing anti-Muslim, white nationalist and conspiracy theory views.
On Sept. 8, Loomer reshared a post by Vice President Kamala Harris, in which Harris posted a photo of her family and said that during her visits to India, her grandfather instilled in her the "importance of fighting for equality and fighting corruption." her grandmother, meanwhile, "traveled across India—bullhorn in hand—to speak with women about accessing birth control."
"Their commitment to public service and fight for a better future live on in me today," wrote Harris.
In sharing the post, Loomer attacked Harris with a racially charged post.
"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," wrote Loomer.
On Wednesday evening, a fed-up Greene rebuked Loomer's post.

"This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA," wrote Greene, adding: "This does not represent President Trump."
"This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever," she said. "@LauraLoomer should take this down."
The public rebuke isn't the first time Greene has attacked Loomer.
In April 2023, Greene called Loomer "mentally unstable and a documented liar."
"She can not be trusted," wrote Greene at the time.
She added: "Never hire or do business with a liar. Liars are toxic and poisonous to everything they touch."
Loomer, notably was aboard Trump's plane in the hours before the Tuesday debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
All of this comes after Greene herself has faced accusations of racism, particularly after Politico in June 2020 uncovered hours of Facebook videos in which Greene espoused racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic views.
Among them: Greene suggested Muslims do not belong in government and believes black people “are held slaves to the Democratic Party.” She also called Democratic Jewish megadonor George Soros a Nazi.
