The Congesswoman Trump Deserves
Laura Loomer, who describes herself as the “most banned woman and censored woman in America,” has found a way to break through her corporate-imposed wall of silence: by running for Congress in President Trump’s backyard. The political stuntwoman is currently in Palm Beach, Florida, and is competing in a GOP primary for Florida’s 21st District. That also happens to be where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is located and the president is registered to vote in 2020. And, although Florida’s 21st District is safely Democratic – voters there supported Hillary Clinton over Trump by a 19.5-point margin in 2016 – Loomer has already gained a lot from her longshot bid. She’s relevant again. Winning the race is almost beside the point.
