"I'm not going to apologize for my comments about the H-1B1 visa program because my job is to speak for Americans and to stand up for American interests. What I will say is that I shouldn't have said some of the things that I said in the other tweets, and I apologize if my remarks offended people."
"I will say I don't have hatred in my heart for India or Hindu people. I'm an advocate for Hindus, I speak out against the brutality of Islam that has persecuted millions of Hindus around the world. And I don't come from a place of hatred, my comments come from a place of love for my people and my country."
"I think you should do more than just express regret for saying things like the White House would smell like curry if Kamala Harris became president, and that the U.S. was built by white Europeans, not thirdworld invaders from India. From what I can see, you're brazenly racist and Islamophobic."
Laura Loomer, a MAGA supporter, attended the India Today Conclave in New Delhi where she was confronted about her deleted social media posts containing crude stereotypes about Indian people and their intellectual abilities and hygiene. During a panel discussion, the moderator noted that her offensive tweets united India's political left and right against her. Loomer defended her criticism of the H-1B1 visa program as advocating for American interests but acknowledged she shouldn't have made certain other remarks, offering a conditional apology. She claimed to support Hindus and oppose Islamic brutality while denying hatred toward India. Veteran television anchor Rajdeep Sardesai challenged her response, citing specific offensive statements and characterizing her as brazenly racist and Islamophobic.
