Summary
Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk’s influence on Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, accusing Musk and other tech leaders of being “welfare queens” reliant on government subsidies while seeking control over national defense.
Loomer also alleged Musk held secret meetings with Iranian and Chinese officials, raising national security concerns.
Her remarks align with growing criticism from MAGA loyalists, including Bannon, who warn of Musk’s outsized role during Trump’s transition.
This is the sort of fundamentally misogynistic comment I’d expect to hear from a Trump supporter. She’s not a “whore” just because she’s a vocal, visible and yes, you could even say “successful” woman.
She very likely did not sleep her way to where ever in MAGA-land this is. She got to be a despicable human all on her own.
Edit: Listen to yourselves. It helps when the subject isn’t a garbage human. Pretend it’s your mother. “She just slept her way to success”
Did you read the news though? She very, very likely sucked Trump’s dick.
Had me going for a bit, the thought that anyone could get anywhere with conservatives through merit.
So what if she did?
Edit: No really. Like who cares? Does the fact reflect on her despicability or is she despicable all on her own?
Are you really coming out in favor of sexual favors as a form of bribery?
Yes.
Seriously? Did you not read anything else?
WTF. You think it’s “sexual favors” if it’s a woman but… what exactly? if it’s a man?
I’m making the point that her potentially sleeping with Trump is completely irrelevant to her being a garbage human and that it’s all kinds of misogynistic to imply that she only has his attention because of “sexual favors”.
Geebus fuck.
If some man is sucking Trump’s dick and gets to be in his orbit as an “advisor” and considered for political appointments, than yes that would be a sexual favor.
No shit. But do you automatically assume that or do you merely speak figuratively when saying that about men?
It does reflect on her despicability, and she is also despicable all on her own. She’s not a good human.
Really? That she, a woman, may have had sex with someone?
She’s despicable for a hundred reasons. Using the tired old trope of “loose woman” is not one of them.
Finish the rest of the statement, “to exert influence” and you can see why people have a problem with it.
Because she’s a woman. If she were a man they’d call it “exerting dominance” and clap.
Wait, do you think nobody has ever said anything about Elon sucking Trumps dick or vice versa?
Of course. But there is a significant difference. Unfortunately, this being the interwebs all nuance is gonna get lost and I doubt very much this point will come across adequately. I’ll try anyway.
When saying such things you are not saying either party is a horrible human because they are sucking dick but because they are being subservient and/or self-serving. You are not actually referencing the sexuality of the situation as negative in itself. Whereas people here literally are saying Looner is bad because she had an affair.
IOW: women being sexual is inherently bad. Men being sexual is never inherently bad.
Not so much the “what” but the “who”.
If she had been male, it would have been about ass kissing rather than dick sucking.
This isn’t a “haha women can only success if they use their bodies” so much as a “haha she miscalculated that using her body would give her a close position to Trump but he moved on pretty quickly and prefers Elon’s money”.
Not judging from the comments here. They all center on using the fact that she’s a woman who MAY have had an affair to reflect on her character rather than the hundred other reasons she’s a terrible person.
I’m not from the us and I only know about her because she had a very obvious affair with trumpet
“Very obvious”? When I searched for that all I got was rumor and innuendo and mention of a defamation lawsuit she filed.
But regardless, why is the immediate conclusion always that women use sex to advance their careers and that this makes them “whores”. Why is this always considered awful and distasteful but when men do it it’s celebrated?
And ya, I can’t believe I’m defending this piece of garbage.
2nd left column
I think it’s telling that (a) you see an affair there; (b) you assume that an affair reflects more poorly on Looner than it does Trump.
Bonus: ( c ) You think the Times of India is a good place to get factual information.
a - I have eyes
b - there is very few people for whom an affair with trump would reflect less poorly than on trump
c - quality of their journalism doesn’t matter here since the photos are what I wanted to share with you
So you make assumptions. With your eyes and your prejudice. Oh look, they may have had some vague physical contact, I guess she must be some kinda whore.
Same old show.
He also brought her to the 9/11 event. And she thinks 9/11 I was a false flag inside job.
Yes. And THAT is one of the many reasons she’s a shitty human. Not the fact that she’s a woman.
Do you recognize that you’re the only one calling her a whore?
Ah of course. That’s the argument MAGA cult members use when you claim, correctly, that they are racist. Oh no, they didn’t explicitly say “black people” why are you bringing it up… LOL.
This is the same old story. Women are denigrated BECAUSE they have sexuality. They are not allowed to have affairs or be sexual human beings - it’s ALWAYS associated with bad character, bad actions, etc. Men can do these things just fine - that makes them virile, a stud, worthy of praise.
The fact is that Looner’s sexuality and whatever she does in that context is completely irrelevant to her awfulness.
