Greene condemns Loomer's vulgar attacks on Senate hopeful Angie Nixon
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly rebuked right-wing influencer Laura Loomer for using racist slurs against Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon.
Laura Loomer escalated a verbal clash with Senate candidate Angie Nixon by repeatedly labeling the Democrat with a string of racist and vulgar epithets, including “ghetto black communist b****.” Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene intervened on X, attributing the inflammatory tone to President Donald Trump’s influence and condemning Loomer’s statements as hateful and intolerable. Greene warned that the Republican Party’s continued embrace of Loomer could harm its reputation, while also distancing herself from the party’s direction.
In retaliation, Loomer attacked Greene, calling her a traitor and highlighting Greene’s past association with Milo Yiannopoulos, who was recently deported. The feud has been amplified by Democratic critics who seek to tie Loomer’s rhetoric to the broader GOP and Trump administration. Some commentators on the left have tried to compare Loomer’s influence among Republicans to that of progressive streamer Hasan Piker among Democrats, though Loomer denied any connection to Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. The controversy underscores ongoing tensions over extremist language within American political discourse.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights how extremist rhetoric is shaping intra-party conflicts and public perception of the Republican brand.
