House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) went after right-wing influencer Laura Loomer for her rhetoric toward prominent left-leaning Black women in politics including Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).
“The media will clip my language about @AngieNixon, @IlhanMN, @AyannaPressley, @CoriBush, and [Supreme Court] Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and call me RACIST. I don’t care,” Loomer said in a Friday post on the social platform X .
“These women are all ghetto, entitled, race-obsessed, destructive black B—–S who are completely unfit for the power they hold,” she added.
In a post on the social platform X Monday, Jeffries said that Loomer “is a stone-cold racist, pathological liar and nutjob.”
“We stand with Angie Nixon, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Rep. Pressley and those public servants she attacked,” Jeffries added in his post. “Every single Republican should denounce her vile behavior and end their relationship with this extremist immediately.”
On Sunday, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) went after remarks from Loomer on social media, calling them President Trump’s “new MAGA and Republican Party.”
Greene reacted to a post shared by Loomer directed at Nixon, writing that while she did not back the Florida Democrat and is not a Democrat herself, “the Republican Party and President Trump owns Laura Loomer and her nonstop vitriol.”
“I 1000% denounce Laura Loomer and her nasty, hateful, racists comments. This is Trump’s new MAGA and Republican Party and I want nothing to do with it,” Greene continued in her social media post.
Greene also called Loomer’s words “demeaning rhetoric” that “should not be tolerated. Ever.”
