It was probably inevitable. You put two of the most vocal, unapologetic firebrands of the modern right wing in the same orbit, and eventually, things are going to explode. But nobody quite expected the scorched-earth fallout we’ve seen between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer.
Honestly, it’s been a wild ride. For years, these two were seen as the twin pillars of the MAGA movement’s flank—unfiltered, aggressive, and fiercely loyal to Donald Trump. Then, seemingly overnight, the alliance shattered. It wasn’t just a policy disagreement; it was a full-blown personal war that ended with Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning from Congress in January 2026.
How did we get here? Basically, it was a slow burn of ideological friction that turned into a wildfire when Trump himself picked a side.
The Feud That Changed Everything
The cracks first started showing back in late 2024. People forget that Loomer and Greene used to be on the same page, or at least in the same book. But then Loomer started showing up everywhere with Trump—on his plane, at the September 11th memorials, and even at debates.
This rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, including Greene.
The tipping point was a specific post Loomer made about Vice President Kamala Harris. She made a joke about the White House "smelling like curry" if Harris won. Greene didn’t hold back. She called the comments "appalling and extremely racist."

That was the first time we saw a public, high-profile break between them. Suddenly, the "MAGA Queen" was calling out the "MAGA Provocateur." It felt like a glitch in the matrix for their followers.
Why the 9/11 Memorial was the real catalyst
Politics is one thing, but optics are another. When Loomer—who has a history of pushing 9/11 conspiracy theories—accompanied Trump to the 9/11 memorial in 2024, it created a massive headache for the GOP. Greene, usually the one causing the headaches, found herself in the position of the "responsible" adult.
She wasn’t just annoyed; she was worried about the movement’s image.
Loomer, never one to back down, viewed Greene’s criticism as a betrayal. She started digging into Greene’s voting record and her alliances in Washington. According to Loomer, Greene had "gone soft" and was becoming part of the "establishment" she once claimed to hate.
The Trump Factor: Picking a Side
If this were just two influencers fighting on X, it wouldn't matter much. But Donald Trump’s involvement turned a spat into a career-ending crisis for Greene.

By late 2025, the relationship between Trump and Greene had soured. They clashed over everything from the "Epstein Files" to foreign policy in Venezuela. Trump, who once called Greene a "real winner," started using words like "ranting lunatic" and "traitor" to describe her on Truth Social.
And Loomer was right there, whispering in his ear.
Reports suggest Loomer became a key gatekeeper in the 2025 Trump administration, influencing who got hired and who got fired. She took credit for "Loomering" several officials out of their jobs. When Trump finally withdrew his endorsement of Greene in November 2025, Loomer didn't just celebrate—she teased a move to Georgia to primary her.
The Epstein Files and the Final Break
The "Epstein Files" became the ultimate wedge. Greene was pushing hard for their full release, while the administration's stance was more complicated. Loomer used this to paint Greene as a loose cannon who was more interested in her own headlines than the President's agenda.
It worked.

Trump’s late-night Truth Social posts against Greene were the nail in the coffin. He claimed she had "turned left" and was no longer a friend to the movement. For a politician whose entire brand is built on being the ultimate Trump ally, there is no coming back from that.
What Most People Get Wrong About the Rivalry
A lot of folks think this was just about jealousy over who gets to sit next to Trump on the plane. Sure, that was part of it. But there’s a deeper ideological split here that actually matters for the future of the Republican party.
- Greene’s Pivot: She tried to transition from an outsider to a power broker. She worked with Speaker Mike Johnson (for a while) and tried to show she could actually govern.
- Loomer’s Purity Test: Loomer represents the faction that views any compromise or "normal" political behavior as a sell-out.
- The Loyalty Trap: In this world, loyalty is a one-way street. Greene learned that the hard way. You can give 99% loyalty, but that 1% of disagreement is what people will remember.
The Resignation: A New Chapter or the End?
In January 2026, Marjorie Taylor Greene officially resigned from Congress. She said she was tired of being treated like a "battered wife" by the movement she helped build. It was a stunning fall for someone who was once considered a potential Vice Presidential pick.
Loomer, of course, took a victory lap.
She’s now eyeing that 14th District seat in Georgia. If she actually runs, it will be one of the most expensive and chaotic primaries in history. But it also leaves a massive vacuum. Without Greene in the House, the loudest voice for the "America First" wing is gone, replaced by... well, whatever Loomer decides to be that day.
Key Takeaways for Following This Feud
- Watch the Primary: If Loomer moves to Georgia, the 2026 primary will be the ultimate test of Trump’s "kingmaker" status.
- Follow the Policy Splits: Keep an eye on how the "Epstein Files" and foreign policy (especially regarding Venezuela and Hezbollah) continue to divide the hard-right base.
- The "Loomer Effect": Watch how many more administration officials are pushed out. Loomer isn't just an activist anymore; she’s an operative with real-world power.
The story of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer isn't just a gossip column item. It’s a case study in how quickly political fortunes can flip when "loyalty" becomes the only metric that matters.
If you want to keep up with the Georgia special election or the next phase of the MAGA civil war, keep a close eye on FEC filings for the 14th District. That's where the next battle will be fought with cold, hard cash. You should also watch for any official announcements from the Georgia Governor regarding the special election date to replace Greene.
