Laura Loomer

Laura Loomer at a pro-Trump event in Iowa, 2024.

“”This is just not guilt by association, okay? She's flying on [Donald Trump's] plane. He's using their rhetoric. He is choosing to empower people like Laura Loomer. Those are the sorts of people who will enjoy greater power in a second term, I promise you, and of all the reasons to prevent him from winning another term, that might be the most important.

Laura Elizabeth Loomer (1993–) is a Jewish alt-right activist who has been noted for her ties to former president Donald Trump's 2024 election campaign. A self-described "journalist", Loomer's antics instead consisted primarily of harassing politicians and actual journalists while posting deranged statements on her social media accounts. Loomer's role in the Trump campaign drew criticism from many of the former president's allies, who are wary of having him associated with someone who made headlines in September 2024 for her virulently racist statements about his opponent Kamala Harris' Indian heritage.

Loomer previously worked for Project Veritas, InfoWars, and Rebel Media before having her press credentials revoked in 2018 for shouting Islamaphobic conspiracy theories at relatives of people who were killed at the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting while they were outside of a federal courthouse. Classy. Loomer then twice ran for a seat in the House of Representatives twice in central Florida, losing to an incumbent Democrat in 2020 and losing a primary in 2022.

She is probably best known for the vile statements she regularly makes on social media. She made waves in 2017 for describing herself as a "proud Islamaphobe" and denouncing Muslims as "savages fucking everything up." She also called herself "pro-white nationalism" and expressed support for an "ethnostate" on a white supremacist podcast in 2017. She has also made disgusting comments about Black Americans, such as calling Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee a "ghetto bitch" while Lee was dying from cancer in 2024. She said if Harris won in the 2024 election, "Ebonics will replace English as the language of our land" and said that all Black Democratic women "talk in their little DEI Shaniqua voices." She also spreads conspiracy theories that school shootings are staged by Democrats and that 9/11 was an "inside job" Loomer is also, of course, a denier of the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election, and she even claimed that her own party committed election fraud against her after her primary defeat in 2022.

In short, Loomer is an absolutely despicable person. And that's why it should really fucking worry you that Donald Trump is absolutely enamored with her. He endorsed her campaign in 2020 and praised her as "terrific" and "very special" during an in-person meeting in 2023. Her gag-worthy response was, "You're the best. I love you." He tried to directly hire her for his campaign ahead of the 2024 primaries, although it was never made official. He still remained close to her during 2024, even taking her to multiple 9/11 commemoration events despite her conspiracy-mongering about the tragedy. She appeared with him ahead of his presidential debate against Kamala Harris, likely being responsible for some of his more unhinged moments such as his claim that immigrants from Haiti were eating people's dogs. Because of her influence over the former president, Trump's own allies started to voice alarm at his close association with Loomer, fearing her to be a dangerous liability to his re-election campaign.

Even infamous MAGA disciples like Marjorie Taylor Greene, of all fucking people, considers Loomer to be "a documented liar" and "mentally unstable". In September 2024, Greene called out a Twitter post Loomer made regarding Kamala Harris's Indian heritage as "extremely racist".

Early "activism"

Loomer's first big stunt was a poorly-produced "sting" for Project Veritas in which she attempted to create a "humanitarian pro-ISIS" club at her school, Barry University. For this, she was suspended and faced criminal charges. She also has secretly video-taped professors and smeared them as ISIS sympathizers, breaking Florida laws pertaining to filming without consent and also violating code of conduct, as well as creating a disruptive and hostile community for the students and staff. Loomer can cry to the judges about her free speech all she wants, but in the end, she's only hurting herself even more than she already has.

Anti-Muslim bigotry

“”Phobia=irrational fear. It's 100% rational to fear that (ISLAM) which wants to kill you (Infidels). There is NO SUCH THING as Islamophobia!

—Loomer in a nutshell

Loomer is an anti-Muslim bigot. She consistently attacks Muslims as a group instead of criticizing Islam. For example, she consistently describes Muslims as savages:

Leave it to Muslims to ruin everything. People can't even enjoy #Halloween without those savages f**king everything up for everyone.

How many more people need to die before everyone agrees that Islam is cancer & we should never let another Muslim into the civilized world?

Despite what @andersoncooper and @CNN tell you, Americans are sick and tired of Islamic savages killing ppl!

She is willfully ignorant of the existence of different strains of Islamic belief:

There's no such thing as a moderate Muslim. They're ALL the same. It's time for us to accept this reality. I refuse to watch more ppl die. The Quran explicitly tells followers of Islam to kill all infidels. Why are people trying to pretend like this can be interpreted? #BanIslam

How can you honestly say there are non sharia compliant Muslims when to be a Muslim, you must follow the Quran which says kill all infidels?

As previously shown, she consistently blames all Muslims for Islamist terrorism:

Going to order ton of "Muslims please stop killing us" t-shirts from Milo & give them out to every NYC @Uber driver.

I would be happy to adjust my position in the future if most Muslims would publicly denounced Islamic terror. But that's not happening ATM.

My life and the life of other innocent Americans is more important than some Islamic immigrant's feelings. I will continue to speak truth.

She upholds a complete ban of Muslims in the West:

What about Muslims? Is that ban in question?

Then let me be the first to say I never want another Muslim entering this country EVER AGAIN! #ProudIslamophobe

She refuses services from Muslims (in particular Muslim Uber and Lyft drivers):

I'm late to the NYPD press conference because I couldn't find a non Muslim cab or @Uber @lyft driver for over 30 min! This is insanity.

I generally try to not support Muslim owned businesses companies here in NY. That shouldn't be hard to do in US, but w/ immigration it is. Nearly every cab @uber @lyft driver in NYC is Muslim. It's extremely unfortunate and this is a conversation we need to have for our safety.

Someone needs to create a non Islamic form of @uber or @lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver.

.@nytimes sent a female Muslim hijab wearing reporter to cover #ISIS terror attack in NYC. I asked her to disavow, she laughed & refused!

She has even cheered on the deaths of migrants.

Good. 👏🏻 Here's to 2,000 more

Indeed, she can't even handle Muslims walking around New York City:

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. 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.

They literally just walk around in Muslim garb and hope people notice they are Muslim. They like reminding people that their ppl did this.

The 2 women were smiling/smirking in hijabs as they walked past scene of terrorist attack. That is not appropriate. I stand by what I said.

TLDR: Loomer is so bigoted that even Lauren Southern called Loomer out:

“”I don't like Islam — but I'm not going to pretend two girls walking in the street is them "loving" a terrorist attack. That's insane.

All of this eventually lent to her Twitter account being suspended due to her eventually smearing Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar as "anti-Jewish" and her typical bigoted tweets. You can guess what her and her fanbase reaction was like.

Jewish ethnicity as moral license

“”I am not a white supremacist. I am JEWISH!

—Laura Loomer, intellectual extraordinaire

“”Ashkenazi Jews are white...It’s an absurd thing to classify all Jews as not white.

—Also Laura Loomer, kind of giving the game away

See the main article on this topic: Whataboutism

Loomer frequently uses her Jewish ethnic background to deflect criticism or attack others:

Lefties may call me a Nazi, even though I'm a Jew. But I promise you I am not paid by ACTUAL nazi Jew @georgesoros.

Black supremacist @tariqnasheed accusing me of being modern day sonderkommando. But my grandfather was arrested in Berlin for being a Jew.🤔

But I am a Jew. Not a Nazi.

Funny, because Loomer believes that George Soros (a Jew) was a Nazi collaborator.

This is why people don't like Marxist Hollywood Jews. They act like they are in a mafia. Don't let anyone tell you that the Marxist Hollywood-Jew mafia isn't real. *I am a Jew and I approve this message.*

There is a lot of Jewish influence in the media… as a Jew even I will admit this. Facts are facts.

As a Jew, I am calling total bullshit on the @ADL_National for claiming to fight hate while they spread hate against conservatives.

I was already taking legal action against @Uber before they banned me today. They are a highly anti Semitic company and endanger lives.

And I say that as a Jew myself. I don't understand why the rich Jews of this country are so hellbent on trying to destroy our country, but for some reason so many rich Jews have a fixation on trying to destroy America. And it's not an antisemitic statement to make. I say that as a Jew myself, OK?

Conspiracy theories

See the main article on this topic: Conspiracy theory

“”Good. I live in NY and I have the addresses of every top CNN anchor. I will blame and shame them all until @CNN is shut down forever.

—Laura Loomer, not a stalker

Loomer runs with the Alex Jones and Mike Cernovich crowds. For example, she is proud to say that "CNN is ISIS". Loomer also engaged in holocaust denial by victim blaming George Soros as a Nazi collaborator. In 2024, she promoted the conspiracy theory that Kamala Harris was a prostitute who got rich by giving oral sex to rich black men.

Loomer has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, and was disgracefully invited by Donald Trump to a 2024 memorial of the terrorist attack. Loomer has been campaigning with Trump in his 2024 presidential election bid.

Twitter drama about teh sensy ship

Twitter removed Loomer's "verified" blue checkmark. In response, Loomer wrote:

And so it begins. Twitter is quick to call me and others Nazis, but they are literally trying to eradicate my presence. Just like Hitler.

To the LEFT:
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
--Martin Niemoller

Because taking away a journalist's public verification on social media is a form of censorship. And censorship is the first step toward tyranny.

Using "badge politics", censoring those who don't worship twitter's liberal dictator, & implementing procedures to annihilate conservatives from the Internet?

Sounds like twitter is carrying out its own "final solution" for conservatives.

We at RationalWiki heartily agree: Twitter's verification policies are exactly like the Holocaust.

Banned from Twitter and Facebook

By 2018, Twitter grew sick of Loomer's antics and decided to ban her. Loomer then responded by handcuffing herself to the door of a Twitter office in NYC while wearing a yellow Jewish star and threatening to pee her pants. Unsurprisingly, her account was not reactivated until 2022 when Elon Musk took over.

In 2019, Facebook banned Loomer and several other individuals (Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopoulos and Louis Farrakhan) as "dangerous individuals and organizations".

Running for office

On August 2, 2019, Loomer decided that she was going to run for the United States House of Representatives for Florida's 21st congressional district, running as a Republican (surprise, surprise). She faced five other Republicans in the 2020 primary, including a QAnon crank (Reba Sherrill). Proving that even Florida is capable of making the occasional rational decision... wait, no, apparently she won.

Loomer faced incumbent Democratic Party Representative Lois Frankel in November 2020. Unsurprisingly, since the district represents the Democratic stronghold of Palm Beach County, Frankel wound up winning easily in the 2020 House of Representatives Elections, ending Loomer's bid.

Fool me twice...

Loomer announced a second try at running for Congress, this time in Florida’s 11th district. Thankfully, she failed once again… only to declare "voter fraud" when she lost. Why is it only the elections with results that Trumpists don't like that are always accused of having voter fraud?

Post-candidate developments

On September 2021, after pushing anti-vaccination rhetoric and COVID-19 denialism, claiming "food poisoning was worse than COVID", she tested positive for COVID-19.

Loomer downplayed COVID-19, writing in December 2020, "I hope I get COVID just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life-threatening than a hyped-up virus". In September 2021, she said she had become ill with the disease and was battling it with a variety of preparations, including some shown to be ineffective. Loomer announced via Telegram that she was in great pain and requested that people pray for her.

Embracing the alt-right

In 2022, Loomer made an appearance at the annual conference of the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance. There, Loomer declared herself to be a "white advocate" and proclaimed that even the Trumpism-aligned Republican party was "no longer rightwing enough for me". Guardian later reported that prior to the conference, Loomer appeared on Jared Taylor's podcast, where she thanked Taylor for his "white advocacy and being a white advocate". Loomer also asserted to Taylor that Democrats were trying to persecute white people and "Christians, the most persecuted people in the world".

Becoming Trump's misinformation muse

During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Loomer and Trump were frequently seen hanging around together. This worried some Republicans in Congress (ranging from Lindsey Graham to even Marjorie Taylor Greene) as well as some senior officials, as Loomer was seen as too "toxic", "mean-spirited", and incredibly "racist" even for Trumpism. Loomer was widely seen as the person who promoted the baseless claim that Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio to Trump — a claim that Trump repeated (and was widely derided for) during his September debate with Kamala Harris. Loomer also has long peddled in 9/11 conspiracy theories; therefore, many were also shocked that Trump invited Loomer to join him at the 2024 9/11 memorial service.

Possible affair with Trump

Many people have suspected Loomer sleeping with Trump because of their uncomfortably close relationship, and although this has not been confirmed, it wouldn’t be surprising given Trump’s nature as a cheater and Laura Loomer being close to Trump (even giving him shitty debate advice). The rumor, originating from a joke made by comedian Bill Maher, made waves on social media with Loomer herself deciding to sue Maher for “defamation”.
