Laura Loomer's win is part of the leading edge of the Republican Party's transformation — or at least evolution — into an organization that includes provocateurs and conspiracy theorists among its rankshttps://t.co/LCDlhgtyJf

"It should be a much bigger story that the president of the United States has now enthusiastically endorsed the Congressional run of a virulently Islamophobic far-right conspiracy theorist." https://t.co/STCeKXJFaN

'On Tuesday, Republican voters chose [Loomer] over five rivals. This comes a week after Republican voters in Georgia nominated a QAnon follower in another race…Trump did not make this happen. Voters did. Which suggests the depths of the Republican rot." https://t.co/nstSZvE0ok

Trump is retweeting praise of Laura Loomer, a far-right racist extremist who has called Muslims "savages," from Marjorie Taylor Greene, an unhinged open QAnon supporter.

This is what the modern Republican Party has become: conspiracy theorists, racists, and unhinged bigots.

For the second Tuesday in a row, Trump has made a point to congratulate an anti-Muslim GOP congressional candidate, among all the other primary winners. https://t.co/zKiXvcsRv9

The fact that the GOP was willing and able to get Laura Loomer elected to Congress despite being a far right hate speech spreading conspiracy theorist kook and a “reporter” for Infowars shows, once again, how far off the rails the GOP has gone. Loomer 2024 will be inevitable.

And won a GOP primary by double digits. https://t.co/EQUTVoXCeI
Loomer was banned by Uber and Lyft after tweeting stuff such as, “Someone needs to create a non Islamic form of Uber or Lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver.”

That’s who the President of the United States is openly supporting. https://t.co/PBNOHFq1V3
