Politics in 2025 has basically become a series of high-stakes internet brawls that somehow spill over into the halls of Congress. If you’ve been following the news, you know that the friction between Laura Loomer and Representative Jasmine Crockett isn't just a minor disagreement. It’s a full-blown culture war.
Honestly, the whole thing feels like a fever dream sometimes. You have Loomer, the self-described "investigative journalist" and right-wing provocateur who has essentially become a "loyalty enforcer" in the current political landscape. Then you have Jasmine Crockett, the freshman Congresswoman from Texas who became a household name for her "bleach blonde bad-built butch body" retort to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
When Loomer set her sights on Crockett, it wasn't about policy. It was personal. It was about aesthetics, IQ, and identity.
The September 2025 Incident: More Than Just Tweets
In mid-September 2025, the digital space exploded. Laura Loomer unleashed a series of attacks on X (formerly Twitter) that many observers—and even some of her usual allies—flagged as overtly racist and sexist. She targeted Crockett’s appearance, specifically making derogatory comments about her eyelashes and hair.
Loomer didn't stop at looks. She leaned into tropes that have followed Crockett since her rise in the House Oversight Committee. She questioned Crockett's intelligence, echoing sentiments often shared by Donald Trump, who has frequently labeled the Texas Representative as a "low IQ person."
Why does this matter? Because Loomer isn't just a random person with a keyboard anymore. By 2025, her influence within the MAGA movement has solidified. When she speaks, a massive, highly engaged audience listens. For Crockett, this wasn't just online trolling; it was a targeted campaign aimed at delegitimizing her status as a federal lawmaker.
The "Strategic Silence" and the CBC Response
For a few days, Jasmine Crockett did something people didn't expect. She stayed quiet.

If you know Crockett's style, you know she’s usually the first to clap back. She’s quick. She’s sharp. She’s surgical with her words. So, why the radio silence? Insiders from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) suggested this was a calculated move.
Instead of getting into a mud-wrestling match with a provocateur who thrives on chaos, Crockett waited for the right platform. She eventually addressed the attacks during a CBC event in Washington, D.C. She didn't lead with anger. She led with wit and a bit of shade, essentially saying she’s "12 years older" than some might think and far more experienced in dealing with bullies than people realize.
- The Loomer Approach: Maximum noise, personal attacks, and rapid-fire posting.
- The Crockett Response: Measured silence followed by a high-profile "clap back" on a controlled stage.
The CBC didn't just let it slide, either. They viewed Loomer's comments as part of a broader trend of attacking Black women in leadership. It became a rallying cry for the caucus, turning a personal insult into a legislative and political defense of their members.
Why the Obsession with Jasmine Crockett?
You’ve gotta wonder why Loomer is so fixated on a Congresswoman from Dallas. It’s not like they’re running for the same seat.
Basically, it comes down to the "Loomered" effect. In 2025, Loomer has been described as a "loyalty enforcer." Her job, in her own eyes, is to root out and attack anyone she perceives as a threat to the America First agenda. Jasmine Crockett is the perfect foil for this.
Crockett is unapologetic. She represents a new, younger, more aggressive wing of the Democratic party that refuses to play by the "when they go low, we go high" rules of the Obama era. When Crockett fought with Marjorie Taylor Greene over "eyelash extensions" and physical appearance during a House Oversight hearing, she showed she was willing to fight in the trenches.

Loomer sees this as an opening. By attacking Crockett, she reinforces the narrative to her followers that the "radical left" is focused on aesthetics over substance. Ironically, by focusing on Crockett’s eyelashes and hair, Loomer ends up doing exactly what she accuses her opponents of doing.
The Trump Connection
We can't talk about Loomer on Crockett without mentioning Donald Trump. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, Trump’s rhetoric regarding Crockett has been remarkably consistent with Loomer’s.
During a September 2025 appearance on MSNBC, Crockett directly addressed the "low IQ" labels coming from the top of the Republican ticket. She argued that these aren't just insults—they are tools meant to silence dissent. "When you stand up to a bully, you win," Crockett said. She’s making it clear that she views Loomer and Trump as two sides of the same coin.
The Impact on the House Oversight Committee
The conflict has made the House Oversight Committee one of the most volatile places in Washington. With Marjorie Taylor Greene leading subcommittees—like the one focused on "Delivering on Government Efficiency" (DOGE)—the atmosphere is already tense.
Loomer acts as an external force that fuels the internal fire. When she posts a thread about Crockett’s performance or appearance, it often finds its way into the talking points used by GOP members during hearings.
It’s a weird cycle:

- Loomer posts a viral attack.
- The attack gets millions of views and enters the conservative zeitgeist.
- Crockett is forced to defend herself during official government business.
- The clips of the confrontation go viral, and the cycle repeats.
What Most People Get Wrong
People think this is just a catfight. It’s not.
If you look closer, this is about the changing nature of political communication. Laura Loomer represents the "influencer-as-activist" model, where your power is measured in engagement metrics rather than votes. Jasmine Crockett represents the "politician-as-influencer" model, where you use viral moments to build a national fundraising base and political capital.
They are actually using very similar playbooks, just from opposite ends of the stadium.
Loomer’s attacks are often dismissed as "fringe," but in 2025, the fringe is the center. Her influence on foreign policy advice and her role as a "loyalty enforcer" within the Trump administration (as noted by various political observers and Wikipedia entries documenting her 2025 status) means her attacks carry weight. They signal to the base who the "enemy" is.
How to Navigate the Noise
If you’re trying to make sense of the latest headlines regarding Laura Loomer and Jasmine Crockett, here’s the reality check:
- Look for the source: Loomer often uses "investigative" language to mask personal grievances. Check if there’s actually a policy critique or if it’s just about "vibes" and appearances.
- Watch the Committee hearings: The real impact of these feuds happens during live testimony. That’s where you see if the rhetoric is actually affecting the ability of Congress to function.
- Follow the CBC: The Congressional Black Caucus has become the primary shield for Crockett. Their statements usually provide the context that gets lost in the X/Twitter noise.
The beef between Laura Loomer and Jasmine Crockett isn't going away. As long as the "culture war" is the primary driver of political engagement, these two will continue to be at each other's throats. Crockett has made it clear she won't "bend" or "back down," and Loomer has made it her mission to "Loomer" her opponents until they're out of the picture.
Expect more viral clips, more heated hearings, and definitely more "shade" from the Texas Congresswoman in the months to come.
Actionable Takeaways for the Informed Citizen
- Verify the Quotes: When you see a viral post from Loomer about Crockett, look for the full video. Context is the first thing that dies in a viral thread.
- Monitor Oversight Minutes: Stay updated on the House Oversight Committee’s official transcripts. It’s the only way to see what work is (or isn’t) getting done amidst the social media drama.
- Understand the Strategy: Recognize that for both figures, these confrontations are a form of branding. Conflict drives donations and visibility.
- Support Decorum: If the constant personal attacks in government bother you, reach out to your representatives. Public pressure is one of the few things that can shift the focus back to policy.
