"Laura Loomer spends nearly twenty hours a day online. She posts endlessly, accusing a range of figures in government and elsewhere of misdeeds and disloyalty. She is the ultimate influencer. She has the ear of Donald Trump. It is not uncommon for her screeds to result in firings or policy changes. She is so ubiquitous in Washington that her name has become its own verb. To be "Loomered" is to be, in some way or another, destroyed."
"Loomer calls herself a "proud Islamophobe" and supports the racist "great replacement" conspiracy theory about immigration. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been known to issue her own interesting theories and invectives, has described some of Loomer's posts as "appalling and extremely racist." Tucker Carlson told Hitchens that Loomer was "so poisonous, I don't like to speak her name." Loomer has few allies, except for the one that matters most."
Laura Loomer spends nearly twenty hours a day online and posts incessantly accusing public figures of misdeeds and disloyalty. She commands significant influence, maintains access to Donald Trump, and her attacks have prompted firings and policy changes. Her presence in Washington has turned her name into a verb signifying public destruction. She self-identifies as a proud Islamophobe and embraces the racist "great replacement" conspiracy about immigration. Prominent conservatives have labeled her posts appalling and poisonous, leaving her with few allies beyond Trump. She sees rooting out and publicly humiliating the disloyal as her mandate.
