Read our privacy policy Trump confidant and far-right agitator Laura Loomer has claimed that she’s “blacker” than Vice President Kamala Harris. I’m not going to pretend to be Black like Kamala Harris does, although I will say I’m blacker than Kamala Harris.” “How much more is she going to pander to Black people?” Loomer asked. They have both questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’s race, with Loomer now saying she is ‘blacker’ than the vice president “She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. Black people and other marginalized groups often code-switch in order to connect culturally with their own communities.” Loomer appeared to go too far even for some hard-right Republicans last month when she attacked Harris’s Indian heritage with a racist post on X, drawing criticism from Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, among others.
