Firebrand Conservative activist turned GOP Congressional candidate Laura Loomer has won a stunning upset Tuesday night in the Florida Congressional district that President Trump calls home.

The “most banned woman in the world” pulled out a shocking win against a Republican establishment which universally opposed her for months, but had, in recent weeks, shifted to being less antagonistic towards the right-wing candidate as a result of her performance in polls as well as fundraising efforts.

Decision Desk called the FL-21 for Laura Loomer at 8:02pm on August 18th, just over an hour after polls had closed:

So glad she won. She’s got spine. Occasionally goes a little too “Code Pink” style activism for me, but that’s a style thing. I love her courage.

Good for you, Laura! She’s going to be part of the next generation of republicans if she wins office.
Kind of a Jewish Sarah Palin. Fearless and precise.

I think I’m inclined to go up on my roof and cheer like a madman when anybody who’s been banned by social media wins, even if I don’t agree with their politics. (And I’m not saying that I disagree with her at all. )

Need more antagonistic representatives. Presuming she wins in November, let’s see if she can accomplish anything.

According to Wikipedia, she’s a far-right activist who spreads conspiracy theories.

Congratulated Matt Gaetz for a great win. Gaetz was behind Loomer 100%. President Trump could not congratulate her directly because she is the most banned person on all of Social Media.
In fact, she is on video telling her voters to please tell President Trump thank you and I will have your back if I win the seat and asks her voters to let the President know how appreciative she is but, because she is banned from all platforms she cannot thank President Trump directly.
Her District is in Palm Beach, FL.

Scoundrel of the highest order. Trump calls her the squad antidote. He’s right.
