As well as describing MTG as a jezebel, as explained by uid0gid0, the sentence structure is interesting:
“I may be X, but at least I’m not Y” would imply that both X and Y are negative traits, but that Y is worse. The sentence doesn’t really make sense if the X is to be seen as positive: “I may be nice, but at least I’m not a jerk.” Thus, Loomer is implying that being Jewish is already a strike against her in her own eyes.
Jezebel was an old testament (or Torah) wife of one of the Jewish kings back in the day. She was tossed out a window for “leading people away from Yahweh” which is usually code for encouraging people to worship one of the other regional deities of the Levant such as Enki.
Later on, her name was used to disparage female fortune tellers in the Book of Revelation. Nowadays calling a woman Jezebel is a polite way of saying she’s a slut.
Thanks for the explanation! I was confused who is the good guy and who is the bad guy here, I knew MTG has said negative things in the past, but your explanation makes it much clearer.
Can you elaborate meaning of this specific sentence?

Oh no, they’re both still bad people.
Yeah, I concluded the same after your explanation.
