And that’s basically it!
Loomer also took aim at U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who she said “carries roast beef in her pockets,” per TNR.
“I know she likes to eat at Arby’s,” Loomer added. When asked about whether she was trying to comment on Greene’s body or her sex life, Loomer said, “No. I’m talking about Arby’s, the sandwiches. I’m talking about Arby’s. I would — I’m a very direct person.”
I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality, am I supposed to take something away from this? Is this code or something? Are these people just trolling 24/7 like children despite being in charge of... everything?
I had to look this up because I was also very confused. I searched for 5 minutes so I could be wrong but loomer has made this exact comment in the past except far more explicitly and linked to her sex life. They clearly don’t get along and loomer has accused her of having multiple affairs. The roast beef comment is a (not very) thinly veiled slut shaming thing, basically, mocking her because her vagina must look unappealing because she had the audacity to have sex with 3 men (allegedly). The idea that your vagina changes appearance if you have more sexual partners is a myth of course
Basically infighting mixed with internalized misogyny
Thanks Ragebutt
Yes, the news have become indistinguishable from 4chan at times.
"I'm talking about Arby's. I would – I'm a very direct person"
Fuck Loomer and MTG both but I'm wheezing.
This excerpt does NOT do it justice. The whole exchange about Arby's is insane.
The Lindsey Graham thing is immediately after - there was no prompting it. She brings it up out of nowhere.
Truly unhinged
Loomer is insane. There's no more point in parsing her schizobabble than trying to find meaning in the ranting of a drunk homeless person bellowing about how alien chickens are messing with his head.
Loomer is trying to call Magic The Gathering a lesbian.
For some reason I read this as Lindsey Lohan, and was seriously questioning Ms. Lohan's taste in women.
And yeah of course Lindsay Graham is gay, but what evidence would Laura Loomer have, that would hold up in court? Just turning down her offer of sex is not evidence, most straight guys would turn her down, and probably near 100% of lesbians would too.
As much of a piece of shit as Loomer is, Lindsey Graham is seriously the worst. Anything that diminishes his political capital is a positive for the entire world.
Except that they will use Lindsey as a scapegoat in an attempt to make it ok to say fake mean shit about gay people.
Kim Davis is asking the Supremes to reverse the decision that enabled gay marriage nationwide.
These idiots all talk to each other, and they are acting in coordination.

Diana Ross has too much power
She is a unitary executive
In 2024, Loomer criticized Graham for having “never been loyal to President Trump” and followed up with, “When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all know you’re gay, Lindsey… and that’s ok.”
I sense there is a tinge of the "treacherous homosexual" trope coming up here, from the early 20th Century. Gay people can't be trusted because .
While trans people are the focus of the administration's undoing of civil rights right now, my sixth sense tells me they are coming after all of the LGBTQ+ once they are done "fixing" immigration and lives don't actually improve as promised.
They've already started. Most recent is Kim Davis (remember the Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue same sex marriage licenses) just filed a petition with The Supreme Court calling for them to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage)
I really, really hoped I'd never hear her name again... But how would she ever have standing to challenge the court decision? She's not county clerk anymore.
‘Standing’ is usually just a way for judges to block or promote hearing of cases. It is very arbitrary and squishy.
Due to her previous crimes and involvement in the justice system, followed by her ‘career’ as a ‘public figure’ centered around these issues, a judge can safely grant standing if they feel like doing so.
Loomer's word is utterly worthless, and, unless she actually saw Graham having sex with someone, her opinion is nothing but hearsay anyway.
And there are plenty of valid reasons to despise Graham, but his sexuality isn't one.
Nobody hates Lindsay Graham for being gay, the hate is that he’s gay and a bigot.
I hate Lindsey Graham for having the audacity to talk and act the way he does while not even owning a seersucker suit.
Idk if we should be extra mad at a bigot just because they are gay. Seems to me like we should be the normal amount of mad
We're not extra mad because he's gay, we're extra mad because he's a hypocrite.
You should be extra mad about someone being publicly anti gay but privately gay
If someone is a bigot, that's one reason to be mad at them.
If someone is a bigot or allies with bigots against something that they themselves are (publicly or privately), that's at least three reasons to be mad at them: bigotry, hypocrisy, and betrayal of other people who are the same thing.
I hate both of them as much as the next guy, but that's the funniest shit I've read all day.
Especially the context. LMFAO
“Several of President Trump’s staff have told me in confidence that Lindsey Graham is gay,” Loomer said, unprompted during the deposition, according to the Daily Beast.
“Hold on, Ms. Loomer, there’s no question,” Maher’s attorney replied.

She's such a ghoul. It's good to see the infighting, though
I don’t know who this woman is but I gather no reason to find out.
I mean, everyone knows? Like, everyone knows. Everyone has known for at least a decade. I will never understand why he just doesn't come out, it's not like the Rs don't have the occasional "good" queer they tolerate for the optics, it's just mystifying.
Those "good gays" are always kept on the fringes where they can be ignored or disposed of when convenient. They aren't supposed to have real power.
But that's what he's doing. He's being a "good" queer, which means he's publicly denying it. That's the kind of homosexual they tolerate: the one who's ashamed of it.
South Carolina's Republican Party is not known for electing diversity.
Do you want to play a game Lindsey?
this is fucking hilarious
Fer Chrissakes she was under oath she had to tell the truth because everyone already KNOWS Lady G is gay.
I bet Lindsey is the kind of guy who will block the release of the Epstein files and protect the pedos in the Trump admin
I'm not trying to shame anyone but... Gods she is unpleasant to look at.
Doesn't even look human after the surgery.
I see she's only 32? That's crazy.
Geezus 32?! She looks like she's mid-40s. I look younger than her and I'm almost 40.
duh?
Lol.
Of course he is.
This is old news. We heard about his "ladybugs."
She looks like Zac efforts character from iron claw
