CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that the Republican party has turned into a party of “deranged bigots” after two far-right candidates Laura Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene won the Republican primaries and are on the ballot this November election.
Laura Loomer, who won the Republican primaries in Florida, was banned from all social media formats for being a far-right activist and provocateur who has a long history of Islamophobic rhetoric and gatecrashed several interviews as a publicity stunt to push her social media following. She had described Islam as “cancer on humanity” and said ”Muslim candidates should not be allowed to hold office in America.” Laura also called herself a “proud Islamophobe.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene, who won the Republican primaries in Georgia, is a Q-Anon conspiracy theorists who also said derogatory statements against Muslims. She complained about “Islamic invasion” into U.S government offices and called black and Hispanic men to be “gangs and dealing drugs.”
Both Laura and Marjorie’s victories at the Republican primaries has shocked people and social media is rife with mudslinging against the two.
Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent. Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up – a real WINNER!

During an interview with former Republican congressman and CNN contributor Charlie Dent, Jake Tapper suggested that Laura and Marjorie are becoming the face of the GOP and lashed out against president Donald Trump for empowering “whackjobs and nuts”.

President Trump praised a far-right candidate with a history of spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric after her Republican primary victory in a Florida House race. Whether he wins reelection or not, President Donald Trump is remaking the Republican Party for years, as candidates ride to Congress by studiously observing the new, first commandment of GOP primaries: The Trumpiest person wins.
Dozens of safe-seat Republican veterans are retiring in 2020, a number of whom have only grudgingly acceded to Trump’s takeover. Phenomenon is creating a vastly different Republican Party than the one that nominated Trump in 2016, added up district by district. Four years after elevating Mitt Romney to the presidential race, as evidenced by the very fact that “Romney Republican” has become an epithet across numerous 2020 Republican primaries.
