Far-right activist Laura Loomer has threatened to "expose" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after Greene criticized Loomer for a racist social media post targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. The conflict began when Loomer posted on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting that if Harris were to win the presidency, the White House would “smell like curry” and mockingly referenced “call centers,” invoking cultural stereotypes about Harris’s Indian heritage. Loomer made the post after attending 9/11 memorial events with former President Donald Trump in New York.
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. https://t.co/EebUiKKxVw

Greene, a staunch Trump supporter, condemned Loomer's comments, calling them “appalling and extremely racist.” Greene has previously expressed concerns about Loomer's increasing involvement in Trump’s campaign circles.
In response to Greene's criticism, Loomer launched a lengthy attack on X, defending her remarks and accusing Greene of being a "raging anti-semite" and "trailer trash harpy." Loomer also accused Greene of frequently using racist language, claiming that one of Greene’s former staffers informed her of the congresswoman’s use of a racial slur.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
Loomer went further, accusing Greene of misusing campaign funds to arrange meetings between rapper Kanye West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. She also criticized Greene for abandoning January 6th rioters and made personal attacks on Greene’s family life.
As her tirade escalated, Loomer invited political operatives, regardless of party affiliation, to contact her for “free” opposition research on Greene.
Greene responded to Loomer’s accusations by clarifying that they had been friends since 2018 and that she had supported Loomer on various occasions. However, she dismissed Loomer's recent attacks, saying, “Most regular people don’t know who she is.” Greene added that Loomer should take responsibility for her harmful posts, which she said are racist and reflect poorly on former President Trump.
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”.
