'Laura Loomer is bringing MAGA cancel culture to the White House' [View all]

"A self-described 'proud Islamophobe' and 'pro-white nationalism' influencer is one of the most influential people in the Trump White House — despite not actually working for the administration. And she’s brought a particularly odious form of cancel culture to President Donald Trump’s second term that’s led to well over a dozen White House and federal employees recently fired for wrongthink."

"Laura Loomer, 32, is known as much for her overt racism as her peddling of evidence-free conspiracy theories — such as 9/11 was an 'inside job,' the Parkland high school shooting was staged, and Ohio was being overrun by 'cannibalistic Haitians' who were 'eating people’s pets.' Loomer has been described by many news outlets as a personal friend and confidant of Trump’s, and she’s fond of bragging about the 'scalps' she’s collected, referring to the former White House and federal employees she successfully targeted for firing."
