WASHINGTON, – Multiple lawmakers and rights advocates condemned U.S. U.S.
“Angie Nixon is a ghetto, black, communist,” Loomer, a right-wing blogger, conspiracy theorist and Trump ally, said on X on Monday, while doubling down after previous similar comments from her sparked widespread criticism. “You attack and insult Black women because you believe peddling racism is good for your clicks and your business model,” Maryland Governor Wes Moore said in response to Loomer. Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American who herself has been attacked by Loomer, said “anti-Black racism goes unchecked.”
President Donald Trump’s ally Laura Loomer on Monday over her racist comments attacking Democratic socialist Florida State Representative Angie Nixon, as well as other prominent Black U.S. politicians and a Supreme Court justice.
Loomer has long been one of the Republican president’s most fervent supporters and is known to have Trump’s ear.
“Black women should NEVER have to endure such hateful and degrading rhetoric for daring to lead,” prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump said on Monday. The Council on American Islamic Relations said Loomer’s comments “are the very definition of anti-Black racism.”
