Heh. Laura Loomer and Lindsey trading insults. Who the hell do we root for? [View all]

https://www.rawstory.com/laura-loomer-lindsey-graham/

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) isn't the only Republican trying to get former President Donald Trump to disassociate himself from MAGA activist Laura Loomer.

Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News reported Thursday that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told reporters on Thursday afternoon that he believes Loomer to be "toxic" and he advised Trump to "make sure this doesn't become a bigger story."

Loomer, who has a long history of pushing conspiracy theories and making overtly racist social media posts, proceeded to hit back at Graham on her Twitter account.

"Lindsey Graham has never been loyal to President Trump," Loomer wrote. "He got booed in his own state at a TRUMP RALLY and was booed off stage because he is DISLOYAL to Trump and the American people. He probably shouldn’t be giving out advice to Donald Trump."

The Trump-loving MAGA operative then attacked Graham on a much more personal — and childish — level.

"When is Lindsay (sic) coming out of the closet?" she added. "We all know you’re Gay, Lindsey... And that’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. Just be honest about it. Nobody is going to judge you for being open about who you are."


Reluctantly I guess I have to side with Lindsey on this one because attacking anyone based on sexual orientation is just reprehensible.
