Add Gigi Hadid to the list of celebrities with the power to fire back at haters on Twitter. In light of the terror attack in New York City on Monday, journalist Laura Loomer made some offensive comments about women in hijabs on Twitter, and Gigi didn’t let it slide.
Loomer began by tweeting a picture of two women in hijabs with the caption, "Muslims are out in full force at the scene of the NYC #ISIS attack today rubbing it in everyone's face. Aimlessly walking around in hijabs."

As if that wasn't bad enough, she later tweeted, "You'd think they'd have the decency to not walk around in hijabs @ cross street of the attack. But they don't. I bet they're loving this."

Gigi didn't stay silent, though. She responded, "Laura, I hate to give you the attention, but I need to tell you- You're a f**king moron."
