Laura Loomer pitches banning Muslims from running for office to members of Congress

Loomer also pressed representatives on her show about stripping Muslims of religious protections

Far-right influencer Laura Loomer has had an unusual amount of power over staffing and foreign policy decisions in the current Trump administration. Now, she is promoting anti-Muslim bills and pressuring congresspeople to strip Muslim people of their civil rights including the ability to hold office and religious protections.

Loomer has a long history of anti-Muslim bigotry

Loomer has described herself as a “proud islamophobe” and called Muslims “savages f**king everything up for everyone.” In just one among many moments of her anti-Muslim bigotry, Loomer suggested in a lengthy Twitter tirade following a 2017 terror attack in New York City that “we should never let another Muslim into the civilized world.” [Right Wing Watch, 11/1/17; The New York Times, 10/31/17; Media Matters, 8/14/24]

On her show, Loomer advocated for removing American citizenship from all Muslims who immigrated to the United States after 2008. She claimed, “I think that they need to denaturalize all the Muslims that came into our country under Obama and since Obama.” Loomer added, “Muslims. People who come to this country to become citizens to destroy it. Exactly. That's what they do.” [Rumble, Loomer Unleashed, 10/28/25]

Loomer asked multiple members of Congress if they agreed with her view that Muslims should be barred from elected office

Loomer asked Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) if he also believed that Muslims should not be allowed to hold elected office. She asked, “The only people who have refused to take their oath of office on the Bible and the Constitution is every single Muslim who has ever served in the United States Congress. Andre Carson, Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, all of them have refused to take their oath of office on the Bible and The United States Constitution. So, do you agree with me that it should be illegal for Muslims to hold political office in our country?” [Rumble, Loomer Unleashed, 10/18/25]

I'm not trashing women on their looks, but these two have a Stepford Wives vibe. They just look and seem off to me.

The Dead Kennedys should put her on the cover of the 45th year anniversary release of their classic 1982 punk album.

What a disgusting and stupid person

And why do "savage Muslims" who came to the US before 2008 get to keep their citizenship? These rightwing mouthpiece influencer-wannabes aren't even reading the room.
