Laura Loomer, an ally of Donald Trump, has come under intense criticism after mocking Vice President Kamala Harris' Indian heritage, suggesting the White House would 'smell like curry' if Harris became president.

The remarks were swiftly condemned by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who called them 'repugnant.' Jean-Pierre emphasized that no leader should associate with someone spreading such 'racist poison.'

Some Trump supporters, like Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, also distanced themselves from Loomer, stating that such behavior 'should not be tolerated ever.' Loomer made the comments just days before a crucial presidential debate in which Harris was seen to outperform her opponent.
