Ro Khanna vs Laura Loomer over Iran war: ‘I thought you had a spiritual renewal in India’

Ro Khanna vs Laura Loomer over Iran war: 'I thought you had a spiritual renewal in India'

Over President Donald Trump’s last threat of ‘whole civilization will die’, Trump aide Laura Loomer and Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna engaged in a sharp exchange of barbs as Laura Loomer defended the president’s threat even when several major MAGA personalities called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove the president. Loomer said “bombing Muslim terrorists in 100% America First” to which Ro Khanna asked Loomer about her spiritual renewal in India. “Do you really believe wiping out an entire civilization is consistent with American values? I thought you had a spiritual renewal in India and actually was going to reach out about that,” Khanna said. Khanna got called out as a “bad actor” by Laura Loomer who also termed Ro Khanna as dishonest. “You’re a bad actor and being dishonest. President Trump is referring to the Islamic regime of Iran when he talks about an “entire civilization”. Islamic Iran is not Persia. How are you a US Congressman and you don’t understand this?” Loomer asked. As Trump’s deadline ended, he announced a two-week ceasefire and called it a big day for world peace. Vice President JD Vance, who is in Hungary, called Iran’s ceasefire a “fragile truce”. “You have people who clearly want to come to the negotiating table and work with us to find a good deal, and then you have people who are lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck,” Vance said. “The president has told us not to use those tools. He’s told us to come to the negotiating table. But if the Iranians don’t do the exact same thing, they’re going to find out that the president of the United States is not one to mess around. He’s impatient. He’s impatient to make progress,” Vance added.Loomer doubled down on her opinion and said the negotiation was negative for the country and there was nothing to act like it was a win. “I don’t know why people are acting like this is a win. The Muslims, Woke Reich and Trump haters are using this “negotiation” to attack President Trump while they praise Allies of Tucker Carlson and call for the 25th Amendment to be used against President Trump. The ceasefire will fail. And Trump will be proven right about how this regime needs to be wiped out,” Loomer said.
