Lindsey Graham recently advised former President Donald Trump that hanging around one particular far-right conspiracy theorist wasn’t a good look. Trump and Laura Loomer, the nutter in question, were seen traveling on his plane Wednesday.
“We have policy disagreements but the history of this person is just really toxic,” Graham said in an interview with HuffPost Thursday. “I mean, she actually called for Kellyanne Conway’s daughter to hang herself. I don’t know how this all happened, but, no, I don’t think it’s helpful. I don’t think it’s helpful at all.”
Loomer really is that kind of crazy. She’s horribly racist and seems to hate Muslim people especially. She’s so nutty in fact, that she makes Marjorie Taylor Greene seem lucid. This caught the attention of Ed Luce, who discussed the situation with co-host Jonathan Lemire on Morning Joe, according to Media Matters for America.
“He (Trump) hangs out a lot with Laura Loomer. We can mention other names even more familiar or older, standing ones like Stephen Miller who have similar worldviews. But Laura Loomer is somebody who tweeted something so racist, so nasty about Kamala Harris and the White House smelling of curry and call centers taking the calls if she became president, that even Marjorie Taylor Greene asked her to take it down. Now, if you offend Marjorie Taylor Greene, I didn’t think that was possible, and Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks you’ve gone too far, then that says something,” Luce said. “And this is the kind of person Donald Trump is hanging out with.”
And Loomer, in response to Graham’s remarks, was spitting rainbow-colored fire on X. Yes indeed, she went there. And by “there” I mean that she took a swipe at Graham’s sexuality.

“Trump ally Laura Loomer fires back at Lindsey Graham after he called on Trump to disassociate himself against ‘toxic” Loomer.”
“When is Lindsey coming out of the closet?”
“I love this MAGA on MAGA violence 53 days before the election.”

“We all know you’re gay Lindsey… And that’s okay. It’s ok. It’s ok. It’s 2024. There’s nothing wrong with Gay people.”
“I like men too. You and I have something in common we can bond over.”
Folks on X (formerly Twitter) also seemed to enjoy this verbal boxing match.
“Republican infighting is awesome! Just like one big fucked up dysfunction family,” @MatthewTravis08 observed.

Laura Loomer's retort to Lindsey Graham, questioning his personal life, exemplifies the internal strife within the GOP, showcasing how personal attacks can overshadow policy debates as the election nears.

She lashes out at anyone who crosses her. The trump campaign exploits her mental illness.
