HEY, JEALOUSY: The MAGA catfight for the ages has just begun
Anti-Muslim activist Laura Loomer, a former Florida “Ultra MAGA” candidate who swept her primary but ultimately lost her race, is said to be joining Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Maggie Haberman of The New York Times broke the news on Friday that Trump met with “Looney” Loomer recently and directed his advisers to give her a role in support of his candidacy.
And while you’d think Loomer’s fellow MAGA Mean Girl, Marjorie Taylor Greene, would be delighted to have more Qrazy to add to the 2024 campaign, you’d be wrong.
Marge tweeted a word salad full of projection and subtextual Daddy Issues about Laura, along with a screenshot from the Times.
Her tweet reads like she was assigned to write a poem inspired by both e.e. cummings and Joseph Goebbels with some added bonus QAnonsense:
Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar.
She can not be trusted.
She spent months lying about me and attacking me just because I supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker and after I had refused to endorse her last election cycle.
She loves the alleged FBI informant and weirdo Nick Fuentes.
She tried to get hired on the Ye campaign after the infamous Maralago dinner, but Kanye West refused to hire her so now she’s running to Trump.
Never hire or do business with a liar.
Liars are toxic and poisonous to everything they touch.
I’ll make sure he knows.
Okay, let’s unpack that, shall we? I’m very experienced in translating from Marjorie to English.
First two lines: straight-up projection, no explanation needed.
That bit about McCarthy? Loomer isn’t all that well-acquainted with reality, but you don’t have to lie about Marge when it comes to her unholy alliance with the Weaker Speaker.
Marjorie appeared with Nick Fuentes at his AFPAC Nazi rally and then tried to get away with saying she didn’t know him.
She spelled Mar-a-Lago wrong and is probably just sad she wasn’t invited to the Nazi nosh.
Second-to-last line: more projection.
Last line: She’ll make sure who knows what? Is she going to tattle to Daddy Trump? Imagine that meeting of the MAGA minds for a second.
MARGE: Dad–I mean, Mr. Donald President, why did you hire Laura when you I DON’T LIKE HER!
TRUMP (smirking into his ketchup): I don’t remember asking your opinion, 60 Minutes loser.
MARGE (looking down at her man-hands): Sorry, Dad–I mean, Mr. Donald President.
And, scene.
Even if Marge does bring him the receipts, like Jake Tapper did on Friday, it’s unlikely Trump will back down from packing his team with as many of his remaining cult members as he can.
Trump likes to have the Best Worst People close by at all times, so I predict some serious Qatfighting at “Maralago” because Trump doesn’t listen to anyone else.

Also, I enjoy any chance to respond to Marge with the truth she can’t deny, but will absolutely ignore.
Pardon?
