American far-right activist Laura Loomer, known for her controversial comments on India, announced her visit to New Delhi.

She announced her visit to India by a post on X. “See you soon, India!" she wrote.

Who Is Laura Loomer?

Laura Loomer was born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1993. She attended Orme School and later majored in broadcast journalism at Barry University in South Florida.

Before graduating, she joined Project Veritas, an American far-right activist group founded by James O’Keefe in 2010. During her time with the group, she reportedly engaged in undercover stunts. In 2017, she left Project Veritas and joined The Rebel, a Canadian right-wing media outlet.

Controversial Tweets Against India

Loomer sparked major controversy when she labelled Indian immigrants as “third-world invaders," and mocked Bollywood. She questioned the hygiene of the country. However, her social media posts were deleted in 2025.

Former MSNBC host and journalist Mehdi Hasan shared the screenshots of the posts on X and asked, “How are Indians okay with this?"

Loomer was banned from Twitter (now X) in 2018 and was able to make her account after Elon Musk bought the company.
