Laura Loomer: 'The Way Trump Supporters Are Being Treated in This Country Constitutes Human Rights

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer appeared on YourVoice America last night, where she declared that people like her are being abused and tortured simply for supporting President Trump and that such treatment constitutes “severe human rights violations.”

As Loomer and host Julio Gonzales griped about the cost and ramifications of Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Loomer fumed that American “heroes” like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone have suffered financially after being targeted by Mueller’s team simply for being Trump supporters.

But it isn’t just those who have been ensnared in Mueller’s investigation who are suffering, she said.

“People like myself and Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes and so many other are being de-platformed simply because we support President Trump and we inspired so many young people and red-pilled so many people to vote for President Trump,” she said. “They’re destroying us financially too.”

“There are people who really do deserve to have their homes raided by the FBI at six o’clock in the morning and be prosecuted. And the people who don’t deserve it, well, they’re being tortured and they’re being subjected to such abuse,” Loomer added. “I view this as severe human rights violations. I think that the way Trump supporters are being treated in this country constitutes human rights violations.”

Uh... someone want to tell Ms. Loomer that Michael Flynn and Roger Stone are being indicted for conspiring to commit election fraud, not because they're Trump supporters? What a moron.

Take a look at what the government is doing down on the border, separating families, putting children in cages, denying them any contact with their parents, and "losing" them in the system. Your hero, the Emperor Trump, is inflicting needless, permanent damage on these children in a manner than constitutes a crime against humanity. He's doing so in defiance of a court order that was issued more than six months ago.

Or aren't all humans entitled to rights?

Human rights violations? By whom?

There platforms, which are PRIVATE companies responding to consumers' complaints, are being taken away. They can still go onto a street corner and rant, they just don't get access to millions of people to do it. You are being de-platformed because people are getting tired of hearing stupid crazy shit all the time, not because you support Trump. The problem for you people is that in order TO support Trump, you have to say stupid crazy shit. There is no rational reason to support him. Sucks that you have to defend the indefensible but that is your choice. You don't get to make tons of money doing it, especially if the market turns against you.

Trump's associates are being indicted tried, and convicted after due process in open court, which is more than I can say for how people were treated under the last Republican administration where they were snatched off the streets of Afghanistan and put into Guantanamo Bay with no trial, indefinitely or renditioned to Egypt or other countries with histories of torturing people.

I love when they try to play innocent like the Britney Spears guy - "LEAVE TRUMP SUPPORTERS ALONE!!!!1!". They can't see that their Dear Leader is at fault for any of his crimes, misdemeanors, and human rights violations so they make up conspiracies to disprove the point. It's a classic circular firing squad tactic.

They call us snowflakes when we tell people to hold police responsible for killing unarmed Black people, or when we ask for equal dignity for women and minorities. Then, THEY come out and say they are being persecuted because they can't spout stupid racist, sexist, and generally crazy conspiracy theories AND GET PAID for it on private media outlets.

Projection is their modus operandi.
