On March 14, 2026, Trump loyalist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer appeared at the India Today Conclave 2026 in New Delhi, India. While there, she mostly discussed the growing friendship between the United States and India, but was taken aback when she was repeatedly confronted about her past racist comments directed at the people she was sitting in front of.
A moment from her presence at the event that is gaining significant traction online, especially on X (formerly Twitter), is when Rajdeep Sardesai, an Indian journalist, confronts Loomer over her past comments about Indians and her remarks during the event about Indian Muslims. Addressing her remarks about former United States Vice President Kamala Harris, Sardesai called Loomer a racist and deemed her comments unacceptable to him as an Indian. He also called her Islamophobic for spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric during the event, vilifying them and painting them as aggressors.
