CPAC pulls activist Laura Loomer's press credentials after she heckled reporters

Right Wing Watch is a project of People For the American Way (PFAW)

WTF why are they listening to wacko Libs?

CPAC gave Communist Van Jones a speaking slot yet banned Laura Loomer.

[centurion316]

Pretending to be a journalist and acting like a jerk is what the MSM does. Emulating them does not deserve praise. Attention whore IMO.

[Dalberg-Acton]

CPAC hosted Communist Van Jones and were ecstatic when he petted them. So, what does the “C” really stand for?

[Drew68]

I like her. She’s got grit.

She's a fighter in a vast, endless ocean of sniveling "conservative" cowards.

It's so frustrating.

[jazusamo]

Yep, sickening isn’t it.

[an amused spectator]

Did she tell them to “learn to code”? ;-)

[Hatteras]

I think she is kinda obnoxious but what’s the problem with being “anti-muslim extremist” I hate Muslim extremists...

[eyeamok]

several credentialed reporters seriously covering the event.

Is this a Joke?? Somebody Hitting the Pipe early Today??

Maybe it is time to start Drug Testing these so called journalists.

"writer Molly Front-Hole"

She's an annoying anti-Trump tw*t on Twitter.

She should learn to code.

[an amused spectator]

“She started following me around and accusing me of slandering her for calling her an anti-Muslim extremist, which she is,” added HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias.

It's gonna be great when his Muslim overlords lop off his dhimmi head and stick it up on a post...

[Drew68]

More likely that he didn't want a self promoting attention junkie disrupting the conference.

It's embarrassing when "conservatives" show up to "conservative" conferences and engage in such low-brow spectacles as calling out HuffPo for their anti-semitism and question the integrity of Ilhan Omar.

We don't need that.

[robowombat]

Yes, as another poster pointed out CPAC has become just a stale beltway venue. In the 1980’s it really was an exciting and dynamic platform for Conservative ideas and views. The Neo-cons colonized it and they were followed by the George Will phony stuffed shirt crew. It has become a tired ritualized operation that provides establishment ‘conservatives’ a place to express contempt for the populists who don't know their place and to talk down to traditional male conservatives.

[jazusamo]

Did you even take time to think maybe we need a few more like her with the way the enemedia praises the leftist and socialist Dems.

[Steve Van Doorn]

said, "what does the “C” really stand for?"

C = Globalist Collectivist.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[Steve Van Doorn]

"the right wing is turning into the left ..."

I don't see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez banned anyplace.

I'm not sure what you mean by that post.

[wardaddy]

She’s quite a pistol

[centurion316]

Yes, I certainly did that. Not a good idea. I prefer a real journalist, even though they are becoming extinct. If she wants to be an activist, she shouldn’t wear a press credential.

[bigbob]

I like Laura, but that’s her problem. She acts like an activist yet wants to be treated as a journalist. In part it’s attitude, but look at Accostya from CNN as an example - the reason we have no respect for him as a journalist is because he acts no differently than an activist would act.

I hope Laura figures it out and dials things back a bit because she does good work, but she needs to develop gravitas and objectivity. Sara Carter and Kim Strassel are good female role models in my opinion because they are conservatives that are perceived as journalists who let the facts speak for themselves, and they don’t have to become advocates.
