Alt-right protester interrupts Dorsey hearing. Auctioneer-turned-congressman drones her out.
"In the midst of Twitter CEO Dorsey’s hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday afternoon, alt-right activist Laura Loomer stood up and began shouting, accusing the executive of trying to influence the election and censoring conservatives online. Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) began to talk over her to drown her out — in an auctioneer’s chant.
Loomer, along with conspiracy theorist Jones and internet troll Chuck Johnson, had also attended the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with Dorsey and Sandberg that took place Wednesday morning, and apparently Loomer decided to show up at the House hearing as well.
She interrupted the hearing and began shouting: “Please help us, Mr. President, before it is too late, because Jack Dorsey is trying to influence the election, to sway the election, so that Democrats can steal the election!” Loomer said. “That is why he is censoring and shadow-banning conservatives!”
Members of Congress called for order in the room. Long, at first confused, said, “Eh? What’s she saying? I can’t understand her.”
He then broke out into an auctioneer’s chant, fast-talking over her as though at an auction."
