Lawmakers and advocates condemn Trump ally over racist remarks

Multiple S. lawmakers and rights advocates condemned Laura Loomer, a vocal ally of President Donald Trump, on Monday over racist comments she made attacking Democratic socialist Florida State Representative Angie Nixon and other prominent Black politicians and a Supreme Court justice.

Loomer, a right-wing blogger and conspiracy theorist, said on X on Monday that "Angie Nixon is a ghetto, black, communist," doubling down after previous similar comments. On Friday, she had cast Nixon, S. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, former S. Representative Cori Bush, and S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — all of whom are Black women — as "ghetto, entitled, race-obsessed, destructive black BITCHES who are completely unfit for the power they hold."

Nixon recently scored an upset victory in Florida's Democratic primary race for the S. Senate.

Officials respond

Maryland Governor Wes Moore responded directly to Loomer, saying: "You attack and insult Black women because you believe peddling racism is good for your clicks and your business model."

S. Representative Rashida Tlaib said "anti-Black racism goes unchecked." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Loomer a "stone-cold racist."

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump said on Monday, "Black women should NEVER have to endure such hateful and degrading rhetoric for daring to lead."

The Council on American Islamic Relations said Loomer's comments "are the very definition of anti-Black racism."

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also condemned Loomer's rhetoric, saying "the Republican Party and President Trump owns Laura Loomer and her nonstop vitriol."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Loomer's history and role

Loomer has long been one of Trump's most fervent supporters and is known to have Trump's ear. She has frequently made anti-Muslim comments, including calling for Muslims to be banned from holding office in the S. and advocating for deporting and removing "all Muslims from America." She does not hold a formal role in the Trump administration but has said it is her job to keep Trump on track and has claimed responsibility for 2025's firings of former national security adviser Mike Waltz and other aides.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
