MAGA Is Turning against Laura Loomer (www.newsweek.com)

submitted 10 months ago by ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net to c/pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net

2 comments fedilink

Several prominent members of Donald Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement are urging the former president to cut ties with controversial activist Laura Loomer, with one ally in Congress accusing the former Florida House candidate of making "appalling and extremely racist" remarks.

The anger came after Loomer was pictured with Trump at two 9/11 memorial events on Wednesday after she posted a racially charged diatribe aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris on X, formerly Twitter.
