Laura Loomer Attacks Rep. Jasmine Crockett In Racist Rant...Again

The far-right figure lashed out after Crockett criticized Democrats for recent votes.

Far-right activist Laura Loomer is once again under fire for racist remarks, this time targeting Rep. Jasmine Crockett after the Texas congresswoman criticized a House resolution honoring right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The resolution passed with a 310-58 vote, but Crockett voiced disappointment that only two of the Democrats who voted against it were white. She  told CNN that it “honestly hurts my heart” that most of the “no” votes came from lawmakers of color because Kirk’s rhetoric often targeted those very communities.

Loomer responded by reposting Crockett’s interview on X and writing, “It hurts my heart that we have ghetto black b—–s who hate America serving in Congress.” The insult sparked backlash online but was also celebrated in far-right spaces that have frequently attacked Crockett since she entered Congress.

This is not the first time right-wing conservatives have tried to paint Crockett as “ghetto.” Last month, an extremist was removed from one of her town halls for calling her a “fake ghetto hoodrat.” 

Commentators like Newsmax contributor Todd Starnes have also tried to discredit Crockett by highlighting her private school education, claiming she is “cosplaying a gangsta.” Critics say this is part of a larger pattern of using racist stereotypes to undermine Black women in positions of power.

Loomer’s insult follows a long history of her using racist language against prominent Black women, including Kamala Harris, Letitia James, and the late Sheila Jackson Lee. Despite this, she continues to be embraced by figures in conservative circles. 

For Crockett’s supporters, this incident highlights the ongoing hostility faced by Black women lawmakers who speak out against racism.
