Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993)
Loomer has worked as an activist for several organizations, including
In April 2023 it was reported that Donald Trump wanted to hire Loomer for a campaign role.[12][13] However the idea was said to be met with backlash from Trump's team, who described hefty resistance to her involvement,[14] as well as warnings from Marjorie Taylor Greene over hiring a "documented liar".[15][16][17] Since October 2023, Loomer has written and posted false claims about the Israel–Hamas war.[18][19][20][21]
Early life and education
Loomer and her two brothers were raised in
Activities
2015–2017
In March 2015, Loomer used a concealed video camera to record her conversations with Barry University officials, discussing the idea of starting a club called "Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria". The school apparently asked only that the club's name be changed to "Students in Support of the Middle East".
According to a Hillary Clinton campaign official, Loomer and two other women posing as Clinton supporters attempted to "entrap" campaign workers into accepting illegal cash donations in July 2015. The official said the campaign had complied with the law.[32]
Until 2017, Loomer worked for Project Veritas.
On November 8, 2016, the day of the
Julius Caesar play protest
On June 16, 2017, Loomer disrupted a
Public Theater New York responded by saying although they are "champions" of the First Amendment, the disruption was caused by "social media".[34] On June 19, Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post wrote that she did not believe Loomer was genuinely offended by the play, but was looking for attention and to collect a $1,000 bounty that alt-right social media personality Mike Cernovich had offered to anyone who disrupted the production.[47] Appearing on the Fox News program Hannity a few days after her arrest, Loomer said she knew that disrupting the play would result in criminal charges against her. During the interview, she objected to the depiction of Caesar in the play and accused the left of "systematically and programmatically" using "free expression as a pretext to incite violence."[43][48] A "Free Laura" website soliciting donations for her arrest had been purchased by Loomer's employer, Rebel Media owner Ezra Levant, six hours before the play started.[49] Loomer also promoted a crowdfunding page for donations, which received $12,385 from 241 contributors, more money than the normal penalties for the charges she was facing.[50]
2019
On January 14, 2019, Loomer convinced several men she met in a
Posting of conspiracy theories and misinformation
Loomer has posted various conspiracy theories, mostly related to
In July 2018, Loomer said that a man arrested in South Dakota with bomb-making equipment and illegal weapons (Mark Einerwold) had been a "leftist antifa terrorist."[59] According to the man's social media activity at the time, and per his brother, he was a conservative who despised liberals and Antifa.[60][59] During the October 2018 United States mail bombing attempts, Loomer falsely said that the bombing attacks were a "false flag" operation orchestrated by Democrats.[61][62][63]
Loomer supported Trump in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries. She accused Casey DeSantis, wife of competing presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, of exaggerating her bout with breast cancer to boost her husband's presidential campaign.[64]
On October 8, 2023, as part of
In November 2023, Loomer was part of a study by the
On January 11, 2024, in a Twitter post, Loomer suggested that presidential candidate Nikki Haley was manipulating the weather to create a mid-January blizzard in Iowa in order to hurt fellow candidate Donald Trump's chances in the Iowa caucuses.[68]
In 2023 and 2024, Loomer falsely attributed social media posts to family members of Judges Arthur Engoron and Juan Merchan. The two judges were overseeing court cases involving Donald Trump. Loomer inaccurately claimed these family members had called for Trump's imprisonment on social media. Loomer's misinformation was amplified by Trump to support his claims that Engoron and Merchan were biased against him. [69][70]
Campaigns for public office
2020
Loomer lost the 2020 United States House of Representatives election to incumbent Democrat Lois Frankel in Florida's 21st congressional district. The district was heavily Democratic, and Loomer's candidacy was considered a long shot.[5][71][72] Frankel had represented the district since 2012.[73] Loomer defeated five opponents to win the Republican primary in August 2020, receiving 14,500 votes out of 34,000 cast (43%).[74][75] President Donald Trump expressed support for Loomer, tweeting after her primary win, "Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet!"[76] She also received endorsements from Florida Representative Matt Gaetz and former Trump adviser Roger Stone.[73] The White House later downplayed Trump's support for Loomer and for Congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene, saying, "The president routinely congratulates people who officially get the Republican nomination for Congress, so he does that as a matter of course ... He hasn't done a deep dive into the statements by these two particular women."[77] After her primary victory, Twitter and Facebook reiterated that they would not unban her.[78][72]

2022
In September 2021, Loomer announced her candidacy for Florida's 11th district in 2022. She tried to unseat Republican Rep. Daniel Webster in the primary election. Loomer had initially declared her intent to run again in the 21st district.[81][82] Backed by the group American Liberty Fund, Loomer was endorsed by Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar,[83] as well as Roger Stone and Michael Flynn. She lost the primary election on August 23, 2022, with 44.2% to Webster's 51.1%, but refused to concede.[6] In an election night speech Loomer said "I'm not conceding because I'm a winner, the reality is our Republican party is broken to its core." Loomer railed against unspecified voter fraud and "big-tech election interference."[84][85]

Bans and removals
Loomer has been banned from numerous social media platforms, payment processors, and vehicles for hire and food delivery mobile apps for various reasons, including violating policies on hate speech and posting misinformation.[7][8][9][10] She has also been banned and removed from events, and had press credentials revoked, for harassment and causing disturbances.[10][11]
From apps and online platforms
Blogging platform Medium banned Loomer in February 2017, after expanding its platform policies to ban posting disinformation and expanding its policies against hate speech.[86] Loomer was banned from both Uber and Lyft in November 2017 after a day-long anti-Muslim tweetstorm, which included tweets about not being able to find a "non Muslim cab or @Uber @lyft driver".[87][88] Twitter banned Loomer in November 2018 for violating its policies against hateful conduct.[8] After the ban, she handcuffed herself to Twitter's headquarters in New York for two hours before police cut through the handcuffs at her request.[74][89][90] In February 2019, Loomer was banned from PayPal, GoFundMe, and Venmo.[7][91] In response, she said that "left wing terrorists and tech tyrants" were "trying to shut [her] down" and that she would "stop at nothing to make sure justice is served for the way Silicon Valley has disenfranchised me, falsely accusing me of being a white supremacist, a Nazi, anti-Muslim, a racist, a bigot, and every other smear in the book."[91] Loomer was one of several right-wing activists banned by Facebook and Instagram in 2019 for using the platforms to post misinformation and extremism.[9][92] In May 2021, she said she was banned from the social media app Clubhouse hours after joining.[93]
In December 2022, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, Loomer's previously banned Twitter account was reinstated.[94]
From events
Loomer used press credentials to attend the March 2018
Loomer was banned from the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after aggressively confronting reporters, using her press credentials to follow them into a media-only area after they had declined to speak with her.[99] In particular, she heckled CNN reporter Oliver Darcy with questions about internet censorship and social media bans.[100][99]
On June 4, 2021, Loomer again confronted Dorsey, this time at the Bitcoin 2021 conference, alleging he had censored people and interfered with elections. Loomer was removed from the event.[101]
Lawsuits
After Loomer was banned by various social media companies, she filed a lawsuit in 2018 against Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and Google.[102][103] The lawsuit, in which she was represented by right-wing activist lawyer Larry Klayman, alleged that the platforms had collaborated to suppress conservative speech. The case was dismissed at both district and circuit court levels, primarily due to the court's determination that social media companies cannot violate the First Amendment because they are not governmental bodies. In 2021, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case.[104]
After Twitter banned Loomer in 2018, she and her company Illoominate Media filed suit against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), claiming it had conspired with Twitter to ban her. The lawsuit was thrown out after Nathan Bernard, known for pranking prominent alt-right personalities, admitted he had fabricated the rumor that CAIR was behind the ban.[105][106] In 2020, Loomer lost an appeal of the case, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Southern District of Florida ruling that "Loomer and Illoominate offer nothing beyond vague speculation to indicate that CAIR-Florida was involved in the alleged conspiracy".[106] In 2021, a United States Magistrate Judge ordered Loomer to reimburse more than $120,000 in attorney's fees to CAIR.[107]
In 2019, Loomer filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib, alleging that during the disruption of an August 2018 campaign event by Loomer and others, Tlaib "violently grabbed" Loomer's cellphone while Loomer was questioning her about foreign policy. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the "video of the incident includes audio of Loomer asking Tlaib if she was 'willing to admit ... that Hamas is a terrorist organization.'"[108][109]
In 2022, Loomer sued Facebook and Twitter, alleging their anti-hate speech policies constitute racketeering.[110]
Views
Loomer has been described as far-right,
Trump's aides are said to have concerns over Loomer's inflammatory statements, as well as support for the Republican Party's fringes. Loomer considers herself as a "Trump loyalist" and has described DeSantis as a tyrant, personally attacking him online.[12][118][17] Loomer has also found an ally with Donald Trump Jr. who said "I'd love to see her as press secretary just to watch D.C. just explode".[3]
Anti-Muslim
On November 1, 2017, the day after
In August 2018, Loomer disrupted a congressional campaign event for Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar, which Rashida Tlaib attended. Loomer shouted questions that implied that Tlaib was antisemitic.[120][121] In November of that year, Twitter banned Loomer from its platform for violating its rules against hateful behavior. According to Loomer, she was banned for a tweet about Omar in which Loomer called her "anti-Jewish" and a member of a religion in which "homosexuals are oppressed" and women are "abused" and "forced to wear the hijab."[8] A week after the ban, she handcuffed herself to a door at Twitter's New York City headquarters in protest while wearing a yellow "Jude" patch.[89] After approximately two hours, police removed the handcuffs with a bolt cutter at her request. Loomer was not arrested.[122]
In February 2019, Loomer traveled to Minnesota with Jacob Wohl, a right-wing perpetrator of Internet fraud,[123][124] and Ali Alexander, a far-right activist.[125] The group said they were "investigating" whether Omar had married her brother so that he could obtain U.S. citizenship, a baseless rumor that had circulated in Minnesota politics since 2016.[125][126] Wohl, Loomer, and Alexander were unable to find any immigration irregularities by Omar.[125] A few weeks later, in March 2019, Wohl and Loomer were ejected from the 2019 CPAC when they attempted to present evidence from their trip to Minnesota. Loomer had previously accosted Omar with the same unsubstantiated allegations at the August 2018 Omar campaign event, the one attended by Tlaib.[120] In 2019, Loomer uploaded a video to Instagram about Omar, blaming her and all Muslims for the September 11 attacks and asserting that "Muslims should not even be allowed to seek positions of political office in this country."[119]
In 2019, following the white supremacist terrorist attack that killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, Loomer wrote on the platform Telegram, "Nobody cares about Christchurch. I especially don't."[129] Loomer has described Islam as "cancer" and Muslims as "savages".[15]
White nationalism
Loomer has described herself as a nationalist, and called immigrants who refuse to assimilate a threat to American heritage. In response to a news story about the drowning of 2,000 migrants in the
Loomer has described herself as "pro-white nationalism."
COVID-19
Loomer downplayed the severity of 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.[143] She announced via Telegram that she was in great pain and requested that people pray for her.[144]
Even after contracting the disease, Loomer continued to maintain that COVID-19 vaccines are "unsafe and ineffective" and said she would refuse to get one in the future.[143]
