She has called herself a “proud Islamophobe” and posted derogatory comments about Muslim immigrants, including calling for non-Islamic alternatives to services like Uber and Lyft. She often frames her rhetoric as a warning about Islamic terrorism, further fueling fear and division.
- Promoting claims of election fraudLike many Trump supporters, Loomer has promoted false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Her support for conspiracy theories related to the election matches Trump’s own statements, and she has continued to push these claims despite their being rejected by courts and authorities.
- unsuccessful political campaignLoomer has attempted to enter politics through elective office, having run twice for Congress in Florida.
