Loomer has spoken out for the first time since her bizarre deposition in which
she accused a senator of lying about his sexuality became public.
The MAGA
firebrand—whose influence on President Donald Trump is growing—was pressed in
her deposition about insults she made regarding the genitals of Marjorie Taylor
Greene and Kamala Harris, as well as the sexuality of Lindsey Graham. Her claim
that the senator is secretly gay became public when the deposition was briefly
available on a court docket before being sealed.
“I was
under oath,” Loomer posted to X. “I couldn’t lie.”
The
right-wing activist has long alleged that Graham, a South Carolina Republican,
is secretly gay. She claimed that officials in the White House have told her as
much.
“When is
Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all you know you’re gay, Lindsey,” Loomer
posted to X last year. “And that’s OK. It’s OK. It’s 2024. There’s nothing
wrong with gay people.”
Two other
vile comments she made came back to haunt her in the deposition. Loomer, 32,
said last year that Harris—who was then the vice president—had an “infested
snatch.” She also said that Greene had “Arby’s” in “her pants,” appearing to
suggest that the Republican lawmaker’s vagina resembles roast beef.
Those
three claims have become part of a lawsuit Loomer has brought against HBO,
claiming that late-night host Bill Maher defamed her and ruined her future
career prospects by suggesting on his show that she had an affair with Trump
last summer.
Loomer
claimed that Maher’s remark about her sleeping with Trump, which was a
widespread rumor at the time, kept her from landing a job in the White House
and, thus, from profiting from the experience she would have received in the
role. HBO has countered that Maher’s First Amendment rights protect his speech,
just like they protect Loomer when she makes remarks about the genitals and
sexuality of rival politicians.
The
claims were revisited by HBO’s lawyer, Katherine Bolger, during a deposition
early in June which since became public when it was briefly available in court.
It has since been sealed.
Loomer
did not change her stance on Graham’s sexuality when Bolger brought it up
during the June 4 deposition.

“It’s
well-known,” Loomer said of Graham’s sexuality. “Several of President Trump’s
staff have told me in confidence that—that Lindsey Graham is gay.”
Bolger
tried to move on, saying, “Hold on. Ms. Loomer, there’s no question.”
Loomer
responded, “I know. I’m just explaining.”
Graham,
70, has never been married and has no children. Questions about the staunch
conservative senator’s sexuality have swirled for decades, but he has
repeatedly denied being gay. A Southern Baptist, he said he once considered
proposing to a longtime girlfriend but never did, because she wanted to remain
in Vienna, Austria, and he wanted to return to his loved ones in South
Carolina. He said other relationships with women did not work out.
“I know
it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men—I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be
jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge—but I ain’t available,” Graham told The New
York Times in 2010. “I ain’t gay. Sorry.”
Loomer is
unflinchingly loyal to Trump and is quick to attack anyone who speaks or acts
against him, especially those who have used their affiliation with Trump to
boost their own political or media ambitions.
To
Loomer, Greene is among those who are not truly MAGA, and she has relentlessly
attacked the congresswoman from Georgia. Under oath, however, she was careful
with her response when asked what she meant by Greene having Arby’s in her
pants.
“Arby’s
sells roast beef,” Loomer said to Bolger.
“Right,”
Bolger responded. “Can you tell me what—why you were talking about ‘the Arby’s
in her pants?’”
Loomer
answered, “Well, it’s just a—an expression.”
Bolger
then asked, “What is the expression trying to convey?”
Loomer
said that “it conveys the reason why she got a divorce by her own admission.”
“Because
she had roast beef in her pants?” Bolger said. Once Loomer responded “yeah,”
the attorney followed up: “She’d put roast beef in her pants; that’s what
you’re trying to say there? You’re literally saying she put Arby’s in her
pants?”
Loomer
answered: “I’m saying she literally—it’s so ridiculous. I’m saying she
literally put Arby’s in her pants. Yes.”
