George Conway Epically Trolls Laura Loomer After She Claims New York DMV's Credit Card Machine Displayed 'Palestinian Flag'
Loomer captioned the photo:
"This was just sent to me."
"The photo was taken at a DMV today in New York City."
"Why does the credit card machine at the DMV in Mamdnai’s NYC have the Palestinian flag as the screensaver on October 7th?"
"[Zohran Mamdani] disgraceful."
"Deliberate and intentional."

According to Loomer, this DMV office in NYC was deliberately and intentionally displaying the Palestinian flag on its credit card reader. Only Loomer knows why Mayor Mamdani was tagged instead of New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul.
Vehicle registration, driver's licenses, and related services in New York City are handled by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV). NYC doesn't operate its own separate DMV.
Regardless of who Loomer blamed, it took no time at all for her fellow X users to post a community note on her "gotcha" post targeting NYC's Muslim mayor.
X users wrote:
"The screen shows a standard geometric "Welcome" design on an Ingenico iSC Touch 250 terminal using red/white/green colors, not the Palestinian flag (horizontal black/white/green stripes with red triangle). These devices commonly use default or processor-set wallpapers."
community note on post by @LauraLoomer/X
Users included two links, one to the credit card machine's support page and a second to the Wikipedia entry about the Palestinian flag.
None of the three versions of the flag—the national, the presidential standard, nor the state—resembles the welcome screen on the card reader Loomer shared.
You can see the three versions and a close-up of the card reader screen here:

In response to Loomer's claim, Conway quote shared her post and added a photo of his own.
Tongue firmly in cheek, Conway shared a photo of a traffic light captioned:
"This was just sent to me."
"Palestinian-flag colored lights on display in New York City."
"Disgusting."

Conway was not alone in calling out Loomer in comments on her post and reshares.

Like most MAGA minions, Loomer has a loose grasp on reality.
Unlike most, though, Loomer is welcomed at the White House and on Air Force One and frequently has the ear of Trump.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland
Back in 1845, Lovejoy wanted to name the Oregon city Boston, which would have made things easier for an out-of-state PAC (political action committee) buying airtime for ads to support the reelection of Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins. Instead of Maineiacs seeing ads attacking Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson, people in Portland, Oregon, were baffled about why Collins' camp was trying get their support.
For four days, a Republican super PAC ran its latest $25,000 attack ad against former Maine state Senate President Troy Jackson on the Oregon airwaves before anyone at the PAC caught the mistake. According to AdImpact, the attack ad got over 1.5 million views on the west coast on just Monday morning alone.
The Defending Main Street super PAC launched the ad last week as part of a GOP push to attack Jackson’s record in the Maine legislature to distract from Collins' own record during her over 29 years in the United States Senate. While her campaign didn't create the ad or buy the left coast Portland airtime, Collins is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership, the conservative nonprofit parent organization of the super PAC that ran the ad.
The Democratic Party in Maine appreciated the gift handed to them by Collins' out-of-state backers, as part of Maineiacs' complaints about Collins is that her years in Washington have left her out of touch with her constituents and more beholden to her billionaire donors than the people in her home state.
Misha Linnehan, spokesperson for the Maine Democratic Party, stated of the mistake:
"Susan Collins’ biggest supporters are out-of-state billionaires who can’t find Portland, Maine on a map, let alone understand what every day Mainers are going through. We deserve a Senator who is accountable to the people of Maine, not one in thrall to Trump’s billionaire cronies who think this election is happening in Oregon."
Jackson responded as well, posting on Threads:
"Susan Collins’ allies ran ads against me in Portland, Oregon."
"Should’ve asked Navatek. They knew exactly where to send the money."
Navatek is the defense contractor behind an FBI investigation—that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump shut down—into donations Collins accepted before contracts were awarded to the donor in an alleged pay-for-play scheme.
People soundly mocked the Collins' camp's gaffe.

In a statement to MS NOW, Defending Main Street PAC confirmed the mistake, but instead of taking any responsibility, the PAC blamed the ad running 2,543 miles away from its intended audience on a vendor.
The GOP shirking accountability? What a shock.
