'How Can She Be This Dumb?': MAGA Islamophobe Roasted For Highly Ironic Post
Images
Self-described Islamophobe Laura Loomer became the subject of much mockery this week for praising a Muslim cultural landmark. Loomer, a former congressional candidate and top Donald Trump confidant, was in India this week to speak at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi. Considering her well-known animosity toward Islam, many people found it ironic when she posted a photo of herself in front of the Taj Mahal, calling the Islamic structure “the most incredible monument” she “has ever seen” in her life. I had a magnificent day at the Taj Mahal. It is the most incredible monument I have ever seen in my life. A monument of love built with perfect symmetry and detail. India is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever had the pleasure of traveling to. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! pic.twitter.com/J6B4WLmJZP Though Loomer has apologized for previous racist comments against Indian people, she also declared Muslim politicians like Zohran Mamdani and Ilhan Omar shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office in the U.S. HuffPost reached out to Loomer to find out if she was aware of the Taj Mahal’s Muslim origins when posting her photo, but no one immediately responded. Of course, people on social media did what they do best: "After the conference, Loomer posed for photos at the Taj Mahal—a 'monument of love,' as she put it. For some reason, she did not note in her caption that it was built by Muslims."https://t.co/93RGOeCYhf Dear Laura Looney,The "most incredible monument you have ever seen in your life" is a Muslim monument! https://t.co/P6UjdPc2QL She is literally framed by verses from the Quran, which adorn the mausoleum’s entrance. #tajmahal #irony #mashallah #mughals https://t.co/rUkXz6OHeE Hey Laura, the Taj Mahal was actually built by a Muslim Emperor named Shah Jahan. It’s recognized as a Muslim piece of artwork in India. https://t.co/uq10Irmqgo She came to India to spread hatred against the Muslim minority on Hindutva platforms, yet then proceeds to visits an Indian Muslim monument.Even a hateful bigot like her acknowledges that Indo-Muslim legacy is the only thing worthy of global display. https://t.co/76nPEakDsU The most famous Islamic architecture in the world! How can she be this dumb? https://t.co/GkeleirmVR Monuments made by Mughals were something else man. Imagine a monument still standing after 390 years despite bearing her level of toxicity. https://t.co/ftH8TwjnWa By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
