Republican lawmakers, including Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), have criticized far-right activist Laura Loomer for her racist remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris. Loomer, a supporter of Donald Trump, posted offensive comments online mocking Harris’s Indian heritage, saying the White House would “smell like curry” if she won.
In a joint statement, Tillis, Graham, and Greene condemned the remarks, emphasizing that Loomer does not speak for the Trump campaign. “Bigoted and racist” comments, they said, must not define the Republican Party. Greene also personally called Loomer’s remarks “appalling and extremely racist.”
Loomer, a former congressional candidate with a history of anti-Muslim statements, has defended her comments as a “funny joke.” While Loomer has been seen alongside Trump recently, the campaign clarified she holds no official role, with Trump disavowing her statements. His campaign reaffirmed that the focus remains on defeating Harris in the election.
