Laura Loomer Lashed Out After Crockett Criticized Democrats for Recent Votes
Far-right activist Laura Loomer has once again drawn backlash for racist remarks, this time targeting Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). The tirade followed Crockett’s criticism of a House resolution honoring right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, which passed in a 310-58 vote.
Crockett told CNN that it “honestly hurts my heart” that only two white Democrats opposed the measure, while most of the “no” votes came from lawmakers of color. She argued that Kirk’s rhetoric often targeted those very communities.
In response, Loomer reposted Crockett’s remarks on X and wrote: “It hurts my heart that we have ghetto black b—–s who hate America serving in Congress.” The insult set off immediate outrage online but was simultaneously applauded in extremist spaces that have frequently targeted Crockett since she took office.
A Pattern of Racist Attacks
This is not the first time Crockett has faced racially charged insults. Just last month, an extremist was removed from one of her town halls after calling her a “fake ghetto hoodrat.”
Commentators like Newsmax contributor Todd Starnes have also tried to discredit her by pointing to her private school education, accusing her of “cosplaying a gangsta.”
Critics argue that these attacks are part of a broader strategy of using racist stereotypes to undermine Black women in power. Loomer in particular has a long record of racist commentary, having previously targeted Vice President Kamala Harris, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. Despite this history, she continues to be welcomed by figures in conservative circles.
Ongoing Hostility Toward Women Lawmakers
For Crockett’s supporters, the latest slur underscores the entrenched hostility women lawmakers face when they challenge racism or criticize right-wing figures.
Many see Loomer’s words as not just a personal attack on Crockett but part of a wider effort to delegitimize the voices of women in American politics.
