One of the most odious far-right activists out there. She’s an acolyte of James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, and routinely goes out of her way to stage scenes to make herself a victim. A hideous person.

“Someone asked me ‘Are you pro-white nationalism?’ Yes. I’m pro-white nationalism,” Loomer said.

Even not knowing, what on earth else would we have guessed?

Her model State is Israel (for the Jews only). Israel isn’t even “for the Jews”. Don’t believe me? Try being an Ethiopian Jew in Israel. Israel is for European Jews.

Hey Laura Loomer, if you’re going to chain yourself to a door, make sure you pick the side that’s operational. Otherwise, you’ll feel silly as people enter and leave the building while you’re stuck there at the entrance.

Not seeing the newsworthiness of this. A Republican attached to racists is a racist! Yawn. A person who lost election by 20 points is a horrible person and going to run again because it’s the best they got! Yawn. A little more focus on the people with actual power please.

I suppose Loomer would be one of those folks for whom one would not want to be caught short of anvils, so your argument about efficiency takes on cogency. On the other hand, she does seem worthy of all the anvils one might have in inventory.

She received a shout-out from then-President Donald Trump. She campaigned with the President’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. And she earned support from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Roger Stone, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who was then a candidate for Congress.

This should tell you all you need to know about this woman.
