The GOP primary in Florida’s 11th District is still pretty tight, though with Webster still in the lead with 50 percent to Loomer’s 45 percent. Regardless, though, if Loomer prevails, it’s hard to understate just how extreme she is.
She worked for Project Veritas, the troll-y far-right project that attempts to trick journalists with fake stories and embarrass them with highly-edited hidden camera videos. She has also spread hateful and Islamophobic content. She has shared conspiracy theories about terrorist attacks like the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. On a less disturbing but more ridiculous note, she was once arrested after storming on stage during a production of Julius Caesar in Central Park, because the title character was styled to somewhat resemble Trump. It’s wild to see her making a 40-year politician sweat.
