MTG feels threatened because she recognises that Loomer is even more unhinged than herself - and this is very attractive to MAGAs.

Marge is jealous. She used to be Trump’s crazy side piece. 😂

[cocacolablood]

Geez, Marjorie, you almost sounded like a sane, rational human being for a moment.

[cathyhirsch]

‘Right wing activist’ makes it sound like Loomer is actually working to help some kind of cause. Loomer should more accurately be called a far right extremist and racist.

Since when is Marjorie Taylor Greene "concerned" about the hateful rhetoric of others?

[margabarr]

Saying Trumps inner circle is "elite" is disturbing. The people he surrounds himself with are the worst dregs of society.

This is the woman I saw eating my neighbor's cat last week.
She is one of Hannibal Lecter's friends.

[countdebleauchamp]

That she was anywhere near a 9/11 memorial service is a travesty.

What a gross woman. Fits MAGA perfectly. Voting for sanity, Voting for democracy, Voting Blue 💙 (up and down the ballot)

[alexearl]

Laura Loomer being 5 years younger than me and somehow looking 15 years older than me, just goes to show how much hate ages a person.

[pholland]

That’s really rich criticism coming from MTG. It perfectly represents MAGA. She’s just jealous that it want her traveling to Philly on Trump’s plane

[phaedrussmith]

She was 8 years old on 9/11. There are people who will do anything - and I mean anything - to get power, attention, fame and money. She is one of them.

BTW MTG is only criticizing her because Loomer's taking away attention from her.

[bascal]

And to be clear MTG does not care that this woman is racist, she is not offended or concerned about her tone, she's jealous because that's the spot she wanted.

[jaundice_japlin]

For a guy who says hes not racist, he seems to surround himself with a lot of "questionable " individuals.

[youngblood]

Oh the irony. MTG is just salty because she got replaced as Trump's lapdog. Guess you weren't hateful enough Marjorie.

[MsRadred]

Psychos attract psychos… enough said! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[sonasp]

The Republicans do not have a serious party. We are witnessing a clown show!!

[stoozdee]

I’m not trying to hear 9/11 conspiracy theories from someone who was 8 at the time.

[Eric-]

When even MTG thinks you’re crazy.. you’re crazzzzy 😮

[Boobalopbop]

Lauren Loomer’s Kimberly Gilfoyle makeover is hilarious. Those fillers are tragic
