Laura Loomer fires back at Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Low life degenerate”

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.”
