Laura Loomer is running for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district. In this episode, she explains why she decided to run for office and why she's running against Ilhan Omar, a Muslim-American Muslim woman running for congress.
00:00:00.000Hi, I'm Laura Loomer, and I'm running for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district.
00:00:05.000Wouldn't it be horrible if we lived in a nation where journalists were silenced just because they confronted the political and media elite?
00:00:12.000You might think that could never happen in America, but it did.
00:00:18.000For confronting people like Hillary Clinton on her corruption and Ilhan Omar for her ties to radical Islamic terror groups, I have been banned on pretty much every single social media platform.
00:00:28.000And if that doesn't sound extreme enough, I'm also banned on Uber and Lyft.
00:00:32.000I know, I cannot understand that last one either.
00:00:35.000When this all happened to me, I contacted the media and members of Congress.
00:00:47.000I'm a well-known journalist who has the phone numbers of the most powerful people in politics and media, yet I couldn't get any assistance.
00:00:54.000What on earth would the average American do if the same thing happened to them?
00:00:59.000I realized then that if I wanted to see change, that I would need to run for office.
00:01:04.000The American people deserve representation that listens to and acts on their concerns.
