Examples of loathsome in a Sentence

1. John Sifton:

   It's easy to say, ‘Oh, we should just cut off the Taliban, cut off this country from the world,’ but we're fast approaching a point where we need to recognize that despite being a loathsome, rights-abusing regime, we're going to have to do business with these folks if we want to help the people we care about and help the Afghans who have gotten stuck behind.

2. White House:

   Text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok andLisa Pagein 2016 that were obtained by Fox News on Tuesday refer to then-candidate Donald Trump as a ‘loathsome human’ and ‘an idiot.’ More than 10,000 texts between Strzok and Page were being reviewed by the Justice Department after Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe after it was revealed that some of them contained anti-Trump content. The messages were sent during the 2016 campaign and contain discussions about various candidates. … House Intelligence Committee investigators have long regarded Strzok as a key figure in the chain of events that began when the bureau, in 2016, received the infamous anti-Trump ‘dossier’ and launched a counterintelligence investigation into Russian meddling in the election that ultimately came to encompass FISA surveillance of a Trump campaign associate.
