00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Laura Loomer, and I'm running for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district.
00:00:05.000 Wouldn't it be horrible if we lived in a nation where journalists were silenced just because they confronted the political and media elite?
00:00:12.000 You might think that could never happen in America, but it did.
00:00:16.000 And to me.
00:00:18.000 For 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.
00:00:28.000 And if that doesn't sound extreme enough, I'm also banned on Uber and Lyft.
00:00:32.000 I know, I cannot understand that last one either.
00:00:35.000 When this all happened to me, I contacted the media and members of Congress.
00:00:39.000 I asked them for help.
00:00:41.000 I kept calling, I kept emailing, but I never received a reply.
00:00:45.000 And that's when it hit me.
00:00:47.000 I'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.
00:00:54.000 What on earth would the average American do if the same thing happened to them?
00:00:59.000 I realized then that if I wanted to see change, that I would need to run for office.
00:01:04.000 The American people deserve representation that listens to and acts on their concerns.
