Gigi Hadid responded to a hateful Twitter user who attempted to use Tuesday’s attack in New York City as a reason to target Muslims. Laura Loomer, whose bio describes her as an alt-right political activist and journalist who has previously worked for Canada’s Rebel Media and undercover watchdog group Project Veritas, tweeted a photo of two women wearing hijabs on Manhattan’s Greenwich Street, not far from the area where 29-year-old Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov drove a pick-up truck down a bike path Tuesday, killing at least eight people and injuring 12 others. Loomer wrote on Twitter that the women were “aimlessly walking around in hijabs,” later adding that “you think they’d have the decency” not to go near the area of the attack. Hadid decided to call out Loomer’s bigotry in response.
