Laura Loomer faces criticism over racist comments toward Black women in politics
Right-wing influencer and Trump ally Laura Loomer faces criticism for making racist attacks against Black women in politics, including Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Loomer a "stone-cold racist" and demanded Republicans denounce her. CNN raised the question of whether the right applies a double standard by not rebuking Loomer while condemning similar remarks from figures on the left.
