Anti-Muslim Activist Laura Loomer Banned From CPAC After Harassing Reporters

The Conservative Political Action Conference banned anti-Muslim provocateur Laura Loomer from its final day on Saturday, after she used her media credentials to harass reporters.

Loomer has risen to prominence on the right through a practice she calls “Loomering,” in which she aggressively confronts or heckles public figures. On Friday, Loomer badgered reporters at CPAC with a camera crew, using her media pass to enter the media filing area to pursue reporters from CNN and other outlets after they had already declined to speak with her.

Loomer and CPAC didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The CPAC ban is just the latest ban for Loomer, who has already been booted from a number of services. Loomer has been kicked off Twitter, PayPal, Uber, Lyft, and even food delivery app Uber Eats for her attacks on Muslims, which included calling for a ride-hailing app that wouldn’t employ Muslims.

I don't like her but she's never said anything that most of the CPAC people don't agree with.

Have their limits as well. "She's out-crazying us. Boot her."

“Oh! Well shit! Come right in then!”

What a nimrod

“This is such bad optics for CPAC”

No lady, just for you. No one gives a fuck about you and until ten minutes ago, no one had ever heard of you.
