Laura Loomer: podcast appearances and interviews

Laura Elizabeth Loomer, born on May 21, 1993, in Tucson, Arizona, is an American political activist, conspiracy theorist, and internet personality known for her far-right viewpoints. She has worked with organizations such as Project Veritas, the Geller Report, Rebel News, and InfoWars. Loomer has publicly identified as being pro-white nationalist and a proud Islamophobe, making racist and anti-Muslim statements in various public settings. She hosts a weekly show titled Loomer Unleashed, streaming on Rumble. Loomer has gained notoriety through her bans from multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and formerly Twitter, as well as from mobile apps for payment, transportation, and food delivery services, due to violations of policies on hate speech and misinformation. She has also been banned from certain events and had her press credentials revoked for alleged harassment and disturbances. Loomer was the Republican Party nominee in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections for Florida's 21st congressional district, but lost to Democrat Lois Frankel. She ran in the Republican primary for Florida's 11th congressional district in 2022, but was defeated by incumbent Daniel Webster. In 2023, former President Donald Trump attempted to hire her for his presidential campaign, though campaign advisors discouraged this move. By September 2024, Loomer's influence was noted within Trump circles, with some concerns about her role. During Trump's second term starting in 2025, Loomer increased her political activity, reportedly influencing the dismissal of national security officials she deemed disloyal to Trump.
