MAGA Civil War Erupts as Laura Loomer and MTG Trade Blows in Public

Two of Trump’s loudest supporters went to war with each other as the blame game over the debate disaster heats up.

A massive rift within former President Donald Trump’s inner circle exploded into the open Wednesday night, exposing tensions running high inside MAGAworld after their candidate’s debate disaster.

Axios reported on Thursday that Loomer had been “egging him on” during the flight after his other advisors urged caution and tried to convince Trump to stick to messages on key voter concerns like the economy instead of pushing old grievances and sharing easily debunked conspiracies such as Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets.

Trump appeared to take Loomer’s advice and turned in a fiasco of a performance marred by one rambling diatribe after another. A day later, Republican House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chose to jump on a three-day-old Loomer post and kick-start a civil war.

Greene excoriated Loomer on X for an “extremely racist” message she posted about Vice President Kamala Harris.

@mtgreenee
This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA.

This does not represent President Trump.
This type of behavior should not be tolerated ever.
@LauraLoomer should take this down.

Laura Loomer

If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.

Am I going to be forced to agree with the "Queen" of the Deplorables, MTG, too?

No.

MTG: This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA.
A: Appalling racism is exactly what MAGA and Republicans represent.

But who am I to get in the way of their mutually assured destruction?

But, we’ve been cautioned about such vocabulary.

So, delicious.

Curry's good stuff.

When I take my walks, I can smell the aroma of sweet curry in the air. Very appetizing to say the least.

17. One of the first things I learned to cook

as a kid. Dad taught me. He learned it in Arabia. I keep experimenting.

I think the spices are active ingredients in Ayurvedic medicine. I always feel better, less pain, after eating curry. South Asian and Mediterranean foods are my favorites.
