Loomer also took aim at U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who she said “carries roast beef in her pockets,” per TNR.

“I know she likes to eat at Arby’s,” Loomer added. When asked about whether she was trying to comment on Greene’s body or her sex life, Loomer said, “No. I’m talking about Arby’s, the sandwiches. I’m talking about Arby’s. I would — I’m a very direct person.”

I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality, am I supposed to take something away from this? Is this code or something? Are these people just trolling 24/7 like children despite being in charge of... everything?

I had to look this up because I was also very confused. I searched for 5 minutes so I could be wrong but loomer has made this exact comment in the past except far more explicitly and linked to her sex life. They clearly don’t get along and loomer has accused her of having multiple affairs. The roast beef comment is a (not very) thinly veiled slut shaming thing, basically, mocking her because her vagina must look unappealing because she had the audacity to have sex with 3 men (allegedly). The idea that your vagina changes appearance if you have more sexual partners is a myth of course

Basically infighting mixed with internalized misogyny

"I'm talking about Arby's. I would – I'm a very direct person"

Fuck Loomer and MTG both but I'm wheezing.

Yes, the news have become indistinguishable from 4chan at times.

This excerpt does NOT do it justice. The whole exchange about Arby's is insane.

The Lindsey Graham thing is immediately after - there was no prompting it. She brings it up out of nowhere.

Truly unhinged

Loomer is insane. There's no more point in parsing her schizobabble than trying to find meaning in the ranting of a drunk homeless person bellowing about how alien chickens are messing with his head.

Loomer is trying to call Magic The Gathering a lesbian.
