"Appalling and extremely racist." Those were the words spoken by Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in response to a recent tweet about presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The tweet on the social media platform suggested that if the Democrat won, the White House would smell like 'curry,' a stereotypical reference to her Indian mother.

Even Taylor Greene condemned the attack on the Democratic opponent, indicating the severity of the situation. She is known as the far-right figure of MAGA, the Make America Great Again movement, and is notorious for her insults, conspiracy theories, and radical right-wing views. However, she was overshadowed by Laura Loomer.

The 31-year-old Loomer's tweet has garnered significant attention in the US, mainly due to her recent prominent presence in Trump's circle. She accompanied the Republican to the TV debate in Philadelphia, stayed backstage during the broadcast, and was by Trump's side afterward, defending his performance to the press. She also attended the commemorations of the 9/11 attacks in New York and Pennsylvania with Trump.

Loomer has referred to the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor as an 'inside job.' Despite her controversial statements, she was present at events attended by President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris. Who is this young woman? And why does she have such access to Trump?

Laura Elizabeth Loomer, raised in Arizona by Jewish parents, studied audiovisual journalism in Florida after high school. In 2015, she gained attention for secretly recording her conversations with university officials to supposedly establish a pro-ISIS student club. This led to a scandal.

Her confrontational approach attracted the interest of mainstream media, with The Washington Post and Fox News featuring her. Loomer, known for her conspiracy theories and anti-Islam rhetoric, faced bans on several social media platforms. Undeterred, she staged protests, ran for Congress in Florida in 2020, and became a frequent visitor at Mar-a-Lago.

Despite controversies, Loomer ascended in Trump's circle and is now part of a group of right-wing influencers influencing Republican social media campaigns. Rumors about her plastic surgery and alleged relationship with the Republican presidential candidate circulate.

Congresswoman Taylor Greene voiced concerns about Loomer's lack of experience and suitability. Loomer's provocative nature even surpassed that of the Republican figurehead. Trump describes Loomer as 'a free spirit,' while Democrats observe from the sidelines.
