Far-right activist Laura Loomer became the latest conservative figure to be kicked off Twitter when her account was shut down Wednesday.

Loomer said she was told by the platform that her account violated its rules against hateful conduct after she sent a tweet criticizing Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her Muslim faith.

"I've been silenced in America," Loomer said in a video posted to YouTube in response to the Twitter ban. She had more than 260,000 followers on the social-media platform before her suspension.

In the tweet in question, Loomer called Omar "anti Jewish" and said she is a member of a religion in which "homosexuals are oppressed" and "women are abused" and "forced to wear the hijab." Omar is the first Somali refugee and among two of the first Muslim women to be elected to Congress.

I'm (not) surprised she didn't just Google it, it's a fairly common practice to rename your WiFi FBI Surveillance Van in some parts.

I remember seeing at least two similar names at the Texas state Democratic convention last year when I looked for the convention wifi

8. No accident Laura Loomer's attacks on Rep. Omar and the McDonald's incident with the Muslim teens.

If Brad Red Skull believes Trump 2020 needs Minnesota to win; expect more.

This attack seems a common technique and pattern; attempting to polarize other marginal groups, Jews and "homosexuals" in this case, against the clearly defined outgroup/enemy.

Expect provocative events in Minnesota, these next two years.

9. Mirror Mirror in your hand . . . . .

your own religion does the exact same thing!

Christianity is "anti Jewish" a member of a religion in which "homosexuals are oppressed" and "women are abused" and "forced to wear the Handmaids Tale bonnet."

10. Time to remove her platforms.

She needs to go to Gab and stay there.
