Twitter won't unban far-right activist Laura Loomer after GOP primary win

Twitter on Wednesday said it will not reverse its decision to ban far-right activist and self-described "proud Islamophobe" Laura Loomer from its platform after her Republican primary win in Florida.

"The account owner... was permanently suspended for repeated violations of the Twitter Rules, and we do not plan to reverse that enforcement action," a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill.

Loomer has courted controversy for years with a series of toxic comments that have led her to be banned from several social media platforms. She's particularly come under scrutiny for a number of blatantly anti-Muslim comments.

After the 2019 mass murder of 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand, she said on the Telegram messaging ap that "nobody cares about Christchurch. I especially don’t.”

In 2017, she tweeted "[h]ow many more people need to die before everyone agrees that Islam is cancer & we should never let another Muslim into the civilized world?"

That same year she was banned from Uber after she tweeted that “someone needs to create a non Islamic form of @uber or @lyft."

Election tampering and election rigging.

There should be a row of Twitter employees, including that POS @jack, dangling at the end of ropes.

Laura Loomer is a nice Jewish girl. I can only hope she gets elected.
