Progressives despise her. Conservatives are torn about her. Some say she’s a bigot. Others say she tells the truth. Despite being universally deplatformed, Jewish provocateur Laura Loomer is running for Congress in the deep blue 21st District in Florida.
The district is so blue, the GOP didn’t even run a candidate in 2018.
Loomer has been in the news recently for her opposition to censorship on social media, of which she has been one of the most vocal victims. She has been accused of hate speech and of being a fake journalist after confronting several politicians and progressive activists in recent years. By running for Congress, a fresh spotlight will now shine on her. What will interested people see staring back at them?

Personally, I’ve never had a problem with Loomer. Her posts were controversial but not to the point that they should be censored. Perhaps that’s the part that’s so appealing; I may not agree with everything she said but I believe in her right to say it without fear of being banned from every social media site other than Parler.
I am also a fan of eligible American citizens invoking their Constitutional right to run for office, so in that regard it’s good to see Loomer doing what other Republicans have failed to do: Take a shot against all odds at a Congressional seat that is essentially locked up for the Democrats.
It is unlikely she’ll get support from Florida or national GOP groups. Her brand of controversy is too toxic in their opinion. Many likely wish she didn’t register to run as a Republican. But these types of thoughts run contrary to our form of government. As a United States citizen, we should be pleased that she’s taking a step so few have attempted. This is America. Loomer is an American. It’s up to voters, not politicians or pundits, to decide if she’s worthy of representing them.
No matter what happens in the election itself, the campaign should be a fun one to watch. Does she have a chance of winning? Probably not. But this is 21st century America, and to say anyone is a lost cause is an exercise in futility.
