Laura Loomer shrugs off murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, saying 'I don't really care.'
Right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer said she did not care about the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, whose killing sparked international outrage and created discord in Washington.
"Jamal Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood operative,” she added, “and so I don’t really feel sympathy for him. I mean, these jihadis are a dime in a dozen and they may have differences in terms of which sect they promote, or they may have differences in which terrorist organizations they advocate for or belong for, but at the end of the day, their ideology is the same and so I don’t really view the death of Jamal Khashoggi as a loss.
The comments from Loomer, who was banned from ride-share services Uber and Lyft in 2017 after voicing Islamophobic statements, align with statements that surfaced shortly after Khashoggi's death. The U.S. intelligence community said it believed that Saudi Arabia's crown prince had ordered the killing of Khashoggi. President Donald Trump drew rebukes from members of Congress when he supported claims from Mohammed bin Salman, who denied involvement in the killing, over U.S. intelligence officials.
