Laura Loomer Fires Back at Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Low Life Degenerate'
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Far-right influencer Laura Loomer lashed out at Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Monday after Greene suggested Loomer is "bankrolled" by Israeli intelligence.
The feud between the two—both of whom are staunch allies of President Donald Trump—stems from their disagreements about the Trump administration's policy toward Israel and continued U.S. support for Israel's devastating military assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Loomer and Greene's attacks quickly became personal, culminating in Loomer calling the Georgia congresswoman a "low life degenerate," questioning her Christian faith, hurling misogynistic insults at her and criticizing her physical appearance.
Newsweek reached out to Greene's office for comment via email on Monday.
Why It Matters
Greene and Loomer are among the loudest voices in the pro-Trump political and media sphere. But they've locked horns over U.S. policy vis-à-vis Israel, with Loomer advocating for continued U.S. backing of the Israeli government, while Greene embraces a more anti-interventionist stance on Israel-Hamas as well as hotbeds of conflict like the Russia-Ukraine war.
Greene has publicly broken with the Trump administration over Israel multiple times in the last few weeks and recently became the first Republican lawmaker to refer to the Israeli government's actions in Gaza as a "genocide." Loomer, on the other hand, has called for the Trump administration to crack down on pro-Palestinian protests and equated criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism.
What To Know
The fight between Loomer and Greene played out on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, after Loomer attacked Florent Groberg, a decorated soldier and Medal of Honor recipient, who backed Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. Loomer said Groberg did not deserve to be celebrated because he spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention as a private citizen and was not "US born."
Greene posted a screenshot to X showing that Loomer had blocked her and wrote, "What a coward."
She then told Loomer to "shut up" about Groberg, saying that the far-right commentator has "ZERO respect or reverence for even the most heroic people in America."
Loomer "is not MAGA, she is MIGA," Greene said. The Georgia congresswoman was referring to the slogan "Make Israel Great Again," which some on the right have coined to criticize America's steadfast support of Israel as it carries out its military campaign in Gaza.
She added: "Many people are asking who or what government or what intelligence agency has bankrolled, the twice failed Congressional candidate, Laura Loomer all these years?"
Loomer went scorched earth in response to Greene's comments and the fight quickly turned personal. The conservative podcaster called Greene a "whore" and resurfaced allegations that the Georgia congresswoman cheated on her husband, prompting him to file for divorce in 2022.
The far-right conspiracy theorist also said Greene's father is "rolling over in his grave about what a lying, low life degenerate his daughter has become," adding: "You have always been a compulsive liar and people finally have woken up to how disingenuous you are."
She went on to say she was filing an ethics complaint against Greene for "falsely accusing me of being funded by an intelligence agency."
"That is an abuse of your power. Just because you are consumed by your rage and jealousy doesn't mean you get to go around lying accusing private citizens of being intelligence agents," Loomer wrote.
She continued her lengthy screed, saying of Greene: "You call yourself a Christian while you wreck your marriage like a whore and lie out of bloated horse face which has permanent damage from your years of alleged steroid use. Which is why you look like a Neanderthal."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reveals DC journalist privately shared concerns about crime while publicly denouncing Trump's plan
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough suggested that some liberal media figures blasting President Donald Trump's federal takeover of Washington, DC were not being entirely honest about their concerns over crime in the nation's capital, on Tuesday's 'Morning Joe.' Scarborough said he found it 'interesting' that some reporters critically covering the Trump takeover have privately expressed concerns about their own safety. Advertisement 'This is interesting,' Scarborough said. 'I actually heard from a reporter when this happened, going, 'Well, you know, if he doesn't overreach, this could actually be a good thing for quality of life,' etc, because in DC right now, I had this happen to my family and I had that, and they go down the list. And then I saw him tweet something completely different.' Scarborough, who said he's lived in DC for more than three decades, added that crime isn't as bad as it was two or three years ago, but it still was not a safe city. 'It's certainly not as safe as the nation's capital should be.' Advertisement Trump announced Monday that he would place the city's police department under direct federal control and deploy National Guard troops to 'reestablish law, order and public safety.' Top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, criticized the move as unnecessary, pointing to a reported decline in homicides. Liberal media personalities such as CNN's Dana Bash and NBC's Jonathan Allen argued that the most violent day in recent DC history was January 6, 2021, during the Capitol riot. 3 MSNBC host Joe Scarborough suggests liberal media figures calling out President Trump's federal takeover of Washington, D.C., are not being truthful when it comes to crime occurring in the nation's capital. Getty Images for Global Citizen Advertisement 3 President Trump has considered deploying the National Guard to the nation's capital to 'reestablish law, order and public safety.' Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto/Shutterstock During the 'Morning Joe' segment, MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend pushed back, saying she has lived in DC for the past decade and believes rising crime fears are largely about perception, not reality. 'The way I've heard DC being described this morning, is like it's a city under siege. Like it's a dangerous place, clutching your pearls, got to keep your bag under your dress when you leave the house and that is just not true,' she argued, while acknowledging 'instances of juvenile crime.' She argued that more police on the streets would not address the root causes of juvenile crime and accused Trump of amplifying public fears. Advertisement 3 Multiple liberal media figures, including CNN's Dana Bash and NBC's Jonathan Allen, still say the violence in D.C. is nothing compared to what happened during the Capitol Riot on January 6, 2021. Jemal Countess – CNP 'We need to rethink what makes cities safe in America,' she added. Scarborough countered that even lifelong Democrats are worried about their safety in Washington. He read a message from a liberal resident who refused to walk outside past 8 p.m. and whose friends had been carjacked or shot at, calling it 'a change from a decade ago.' 'I guarantee you that's a person that has never voted for a Republican in their life,' Scarborough said. 'This isn't imagined. People you know, that I know, that they love, they and their friends don't feel safe in Washington, DC.' During a press conference on Monday, Trump challenged liberal journalists to be honest about crime concerns in the city. 'I understand a lot of you tend to be on the liberal side, but you don't want to get — you don't want to get mugged and raped and shot and killed,' Trump said. 'And you all know people and friends of yours that that happened. And so you can be anything you want, but you want to have safety in the streets. You want to be able to leave your apartment or your house where you live and feel safe and go into a store to buy a newspaper or buy something. And you don't have that now.'

Trump will be at the Kennedy Center on the same day recipients of the honors are announced
'GREAT Nominees for the TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, AWARDS,' Trump wrote. He said work was being done on the site that would be 'bringing it back to the absolute TOP LEVEL of luxury, glamour, and entertainment.' Advertisement 'It had fallen on hard times, physically, BUT WILL SOON BE MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK!!!' he wrote. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up It is unclear how this year's batch of honorees were chosen, though Trump had indicated he wanted a more active role. Historically, a bipartisan advisory committee selects the recipients, who over the years have ranged from George Balanchine and Tom Hanks to Aretha Franklin and Stephen Sondheim. A message sent to the Kennedy Center press office asking how this year's honorees were selected wasn't returned Tuesday. The Kennedy Center did post this on social media, however: 'Coming Soon ... A country music icon, an Englishman, a New York City Rock band, a dance Queen and a multi-billion dollar Actor walk into the Kennedy Center Opera House ...' In the past, Trump has floated the idea of granting Kennedy Center Honors status to singer-songwriter Paul Anka and actor Sylvester Stallone, one of three actors Trump named as Hollywood 'ambassadors' earlier this year. Anka was supposed to perform 'My Way' at Trump's first inaugural and backed out at the last moment. Advertisement The Kennedy Center honors were established in 1978 and have been handed out to a broad range of artists. Until Trump's first term, presidents of both parties traditionally attended the annual ceremony, even when they disagreed politically with a given recipient. Prominent liberals such as Barbra Streisand and Warren Beatty were honored during the administration of Republican George W. Bush, and a leading conservative, Charlton Heston, was feted during the administration of Democrat BIll Clinton. In 2017, after honoree Norman Lear declared that he would not attend a White House celebration in protest of Trump's proposed cuts to federal arts funding, Trump and first lady Melania Trump decided to skip the Kennedy Center event and remained away throughout his first term. Honorees during that time included such Trump critics as Cher, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Sally Field. Since taking office for a second time, Trump has taken a much more forceful stance on the Kennedy Center and inserted himself into its governance. Besides naming himself chairman and remaking the board, he has also indicated that he would take over decisions regarding programming at the center and vowed to end events featuring performers in drag. The steps have drawn further criticism from some artists. In March, the producers of 'Hamilton' pulled out of staging the Broadway hit musical in 2026, citing Trump's aggressive takeover of the institution's leadership. Other artists who canceled events include actor Issa Rae, singer Rhiannon Giddens and author Louise Penny. Advertisement House Republicans have introduced an amendment to a spending bill that would rename the Kennedy Center's opera house after first lady Melania Trump. Maria Shriver, a niece of the late President John F. Kennedy, has criticized as 'insane' a separate House proposal to rename the entire center after Trump. Recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors are given a medallion on a rainbow ribbon, a nod to the range of skills that fall under the performing arts. In April, the center changed the lights on the exterior from the long-standing rainbow to a permanent red, white and blue display. Italie reported from New York.
