Republican political activist Laura Loomer used a racially charged term to insult Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in a post on social media this week.
On Thursday, the far-right activist quoted a post on X that referenced Crockett’s alleged treatment of her staff. Loomer then took it as an opening to hurl her own set of insults.
“Why are people surprised?” Loomer asked. “This is typical DEI Shaniqua behavior.”
Loomer’s usage of “Shaniqua” was widely interpreted as a racist dig — the name is commonly associated with Black women and has often been weaponized as a derogatory and demeaning stereotype.
But, she didn’t stop there.
