#Right-wing activist Laura Loomer wins Florida GOP race

Right-wing internet personality and commentator Laura Loomer has delivered a surprise upset in Florida’s GOP primary for the 21st Congressional district’s House seat.

Loomer, 27, who has been banned by Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for repeated instances of “hate speech,” could not take to social media to celebrate after beating five other candidates and securing over 42 percent of the vote.

A Twitter account that supports the young political hopeful quoted her as saying in a fundraising email that “Congress is about to get Loomered,” a reference to the former tag line featured in her viral internet content.

“I will have plenty of opportunities in the halls of Congress to confront The Squad members & call them out on their support 4 Communism & j1had1st alliances,” she added.

Loomer is also banned by the likes of CPAC, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats.

Florida’s 21st Congressional district includes Palm Beach County, where President Trump’s Mar-a-lago is located. He did not endorse in the primary race, but congratulated Loomer after her victory on Twitter.

“Great going Laura. You have a great chance against a Pelosi puppet!” the commander-in-chief wrote Tuesday evening.

Despite Trump not hopping on board right away, Loomer still snagged the endorsement of fellow Floridian Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).

Gaetz defended Loomer at a fundraiser earlier this month by saying, “When we find folks who they try to disappear or silence because they chose to speak out, we need to have their back! And that’s why I’m proud to endorse Laura Loomer for Congress,” according to Florida Politics.

Loomer will go on to face four term Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) in the largely blue district that the Congresswoman carried with 60 percent of the vote in 2018.
