Gosar backs anti-Muslim activist Loomer in congressional bid [View all]

[TexasTowelie]

Congressman Paul Gosar has endorsed the congressional campaign of Laura Loomer, an anti-Muslim activist and far-right provocateur.

Loomer announced Aug. 2 that she is running for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, which covers Palm Beach and other areas north of Fort Lauderdale. The district is heavily Democratic, and Democratic incumbent Lois Frankel didn’t have a Republican opponent in 2018.

On Saturday, Gosar expressed his support for the controversial Loomer, tweeting, “I fully endorse Laura Loomer in her quest for Congress. She has proven herself to be an army of one and embodies fearlessness.”

Gosar, a Prescott Republican, also tweeted that “Big Tech” should “replatform” Loomer, who has been banned by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms. After Twitter banned her in August 2018 for comments that were critical of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s Muslim faith, Loomer handcuffed herself to the front doors of the company’s New York headquarters while wearing the yellow Star of David patch that the Nazi regime in Germany once forced Jews to wear.
