Marjorie Taylor Greene and far-right activist Laura Loomer have once again come to blows – this time over President Joe Biden’s controversial decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden. “Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too.” open image in gallery Marjorie Taylor Greene, pictured speaking in Savannah, Georgia, on September 24, slammed Biden for his decision to pardon Hunter Loomer – who compared Biden’s decision to pardon his son to a “real life Jerry Springer episode” – seized on Greene’s comments, chiming in: “JUST IN: MTG admits she has done something that would make her need a pardon.” Greene is yet to respond to Loomer’s post. In September, Loomer, a self-proclaimed “proud Islamophobe”, made racist comments about Kamala Harris, saying that the White House would “smell like curry” if she became president and that her speeches would be “facilitated via a call center.” Greene denounced Loomer’s attack on the vice president, who has Indian heritage, as “appalling and extremely racist.” “It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA. In October, Loomer then shared a video of Greene speaking in the lower chamber calling her a “White trash embarrassment to MAGA”, “dumb”, and claiming she has done nothing in Congress “aside from insider trading.” open image in gallery Loomer, pictured posing with Trump at the LIV golf event in August 2023, hit out at MTG again Loomer later branded Greene a “hypocrite” for defending comedian Tony Hinchcliffe after he made a racist joke about Puerto Ricans at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, calling her a jealous “b**** with Roid Rage” and a “washed up hag.” Greene has previously revealed that the pair became friends in 2018, only for their relationship to fall apart when the Georgia lawmaker refused to endorse Loomer in her second congressional run in 2022.
