(National-UAE) Far-right activist Laura Loomer on Tuesday was condemned by veteran journalist Mehdi Hasan after she called for the firing of another Muslim State Department employee.
Ms Loomer accused Wardah Khalid of holding views inconsistent with President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda. Ms Khalid is the latest in a string of State Department employees Ms Loomer has accused of being Islamic extremists.
“She must immediately be terminated from her job,” the self-described “proud Islamophobe” said in a post on X, tagging Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
According to her LinkedIn account, which has been closed down but which Ms Loomer used a screenshot of in an article, Ms Khalid is a foreign affairs officer with the State Department.
