A social media clash broke out between far-right activist Laura Loomer and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard after Loomer accused Gabbard of “pretending to be a Christian” over a Bible verse she shared online.The controversy began when Gabbard posted a Bible verse on Instagram that read: “My eyes are on you, O Lord, my God; in you I take refuge – Psalm 141:8”.Loomer responded to the post and questioned Gabbard’s religious identity in an online rant.“It’s really interesting how Tulsi Gabbard pretends to be a Christian. If you remember, she did the same at Charlie Kirk’s memorial,” Loomer wrote on X.“Tulsi is a lifelong Hindu. Yet no one knows this. “He should embrace it,” Loomer said.Loomer also shared a screenshot from Gabbard’s YouTube channel showing highlights from their Hindu Vedic wedding ceremony. The video description reads: “Here are some highlights from Tulsi’s beautiful Hindu Vedic wedding on April 9, including the walk down the aisle and a fire ceremony that ended with a lively yoga kirtan.”Gabbard practices Hinduism and is recognized as the first Hindu member of the US Congress. He was raised in a multicultural family with Hindu spiritual influences. She has often spoken publicly about how Hindu teachings have shaped her life and politics. He took the Congress oath on the Bhagavad Gita and has often discussed concepts such as karma, selfless service, spirituality and meditation during political campaigns and interviews.Meanwhile, Loomer is known in the US for radical far-right activism and support of Christian nationalist, MAGA politics. Over the past few years, he has faced criticism for inflammatory comments about Islam and immigration. He has previously described Islam as “cancer” and supported restrictions on Muslim immigration, leading to a backlash over his comments and a temporary ban from major social media platforms. Loomer has also faced criticism for her comments about Indians and the H-1B visa program. He argued that foreign workers on H-1B visas underpay American workers by accepting lower wages.Loomer apologized for some comments during a visit to India earlier this year but continued to oppose the visa system.
