Twitter bans far-right activist Laura Loomer

(Daily Beast) Twitter kicked Laura Loomer off its platform permanently Wednesday, making her the latest conservative media figure to be banned from the site.

“This is not going to be the end of Laura Loomer,” the far-right activist told the Daily Beast.

Loomer said she was banned over a tweet calling newly elected Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, “anti Jewish.”

“Isn’t it ironic how the twitter moment used to celebrate ‘women, LGBTQ, and minorities’ is a picture of Ilhan Omar?” she tweeted.

“Ilhan is pro Sharia Ilhan is pro-FGM Under Sharia, homosexuals are oppressed & killed. Women are abused & forced to wear the hijab. Ilhan is anti Jewish.”
