Far-right political activist Laura Loomer hit out at Senator Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, over his comments he made in response to controversial video that was posted, then deleted from President Donald Trump's Truth Social account on Friday.

"I showed this tweet posted by Tim Scott to President Trump last night. 14 million views on a lie because [Scott] wants to cost the GOP the midterms & smear President Trump," Loomer, a staunch supporter of Trump, wrote in part on her X account on Saturday. "Why hasn’t he deleted this tweet? He is deliberately trying to sabotage President Trump." Newsweek reached out to Scott's office by email on Saturday afternoon for comment.

Why It Matters

Trump set off a media firestorm on Friday after it surfaced that a video about alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election posted to his Truth Social account had a brief clip at the end that showed former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama's smiling faces superimposed onto the bodies of apes.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected criticism of the post as "fake outrage," but after Scott posted on his X account the video was "the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House," the video was deleted, and the White House later said a staffer posted the video to the account and the president had not seen the full video.

1. I call her Laura Loony...

Because she is cray cray...

[liberalgunwilltravel]

2. Good job Laura!

Keep emphasizing that racism is the glue that holds you MAGAts together. That’s a great strategy.

4. Ahh, so they are already creating 'fall guys' for their upcoming losses.

Funny.

[Roy Rolling]

5. 14 million views?

Someone’s significant orange in the shade? MAGAt Tim Scott stealing the spotlight with 14 million views? Did Loony get orders to give Scott the hook and yank him off the MAGA Circus stage?

8. And I'm wondering...

What happened Friday that we all missed? It must have been something big that TSF needed such a disgusting distraction.

6. Rat Fight!

[radical noodle]

7. I'll never understand Tim Scott

trump has been obviously racist for decades, and it's hard to believe Scott has been unaware of it. How he can continue to support trump is a mystery to me.

10. People like him

attribute the GOP's continual use of racist memes and tropes as nothing more than "political hyperbole". But apparently some in his state must have called him up and read him the riot act and/or he blinked and finally "saw it".

I posted this elsewhere but the same kind of sudden "awareness" happened to Distort D'Newza this past fall -

In a career spanning 40 years, I have never encountered this type of rhetoric. The Right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It’s a question worth thinking about.

You’re Indian, you made nothing, you are nothing, and devoid of creation. Your ilk has been a race of slaves for hundreds of years, and even after being given a chance, you prove what worth you are, devoid of actual thought. Your existence causes me disgust

I know it took A LOT for something to break through HIS diamond dense skull!!!

13. You have to wonder when Magas of color are going to read the room and realize they will never be accepted by Maga

or the modern Republican party because of their race. I wonder how long it's going to take for them to realize this.

16. It took people like Michael Steele

a long time before he "got it".

[SCantiGOP]

12. I knew him years ago

When he was on the Charleston County Council. He got that job by running as a Republican in a red area and parroting the hard right line. It was always just about personal advancement - he never had any true core beliefs.
And don’t forget that he was appointed to the Senate position so the SC GOP (and Tricki Nikki Haley) could show that they would accept the occasional black person as long as they toed the line and didn’t support any civil rights nonsense.

9. So somebody else posted something on Trump's account and he didn't know about it because he

…. only saw part of it and yap and yap and yap. Hey Scott Trump has always been a racist shit.
Remember Trump’s pushing the “Obama wasn’t born in America” lie even though 3 different News-
papers in Hawaii had his birth announcement?

[Fil1957]

11. Go Laura! Go! You tell 'em!

[patphil]

14. Senator Tim Scott is trying to smear the president?

Oh, c'mon. We all know that Trump is self-smearing with every vile comment that spews forth from his mouth.
All Senator Scott did was point it out. It's a "the emperor has no clothes" moment that most republicans refuse to acknowledge.
Laura Loomer is fully invested in the hatred that Trump exudes from every pore of his body.

15. Laura knows how to stroke his...ego.

17. Loomer's like Stefanik...she does tricks for him all day, and yet he never tosses her a Snausage.

She's like Stefanik...too much for Trump.

With Stefanik, I guess the reason was that she's so NEEDY. I KNEW people like her in my younger days. They'd show up and before they opened their mouth it was "OH NO, not HER again." She also is light years away from "hot," by Trump's definition. I don't think Kristi Noem is hot, but until the Cricket story came out, I GUARANTEE YOU she was his top pick for VP. She had the same level of flattery and fealty as Stefanik, but...too creepy. Not to say that Noem's not creepy...she certainly is. Just a different kind, that doesn't rub Trump the wrong way.

Loomer's got the Botox / plastic surgery "Mar-a-Lago" face, but she took it too far into the Creature from the Black Lagoon zone. Last time I saw a face like that it was cleaning the algae from the inside walls of a fish tank. So she's crazy and not hot, two big strikes in Trump's book.

And, there's a bit of the "What the hell is wrong with Elon" thing (Trump's comment after Musk did the bouncing prancing drugged moron thing at his MAGAt rally).

SOMETIMES, in her zeal to please the master, she says things that cause him to back-pedal, directly or indirectly.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. But the difference between Loomer and Stefanik

is that Loomer is a bomb-thrower like MTG and Stefanik was "the obedient servant".

So Loomer does it to get the attention of and stay relevant with the MAGats, to keep her rabid "followers" entertained.

Meanwhile Stefanik was seeking to become part of the "power structure" but 45's GOP is not the group that would ever want to accommodate her because she is not ruthless enough.

You see Tulsi Gabbard trying to shoe-horn herself into the "ruthless club". But that is a tricky thing to do when you see members like Noem and possibly even Bondi, a step away from being ousted from that.
