Laura Loomer removed from congressional hearing. Hilariously shut down...

[CoopersDad]

By Missouri Representative Billy Long, who runs a nonstop auctioneering flow while Laura is escorted out.

27. Thanks for that info, good to know

Still hilarious!

I wonder if that Republican lawmaker would have ridiculed her now, knowing she's in Trump's inner circle.

5. When did this happen?

It was hilarious.

I see the date was posted while I was posting. Thanks!

7. 2018 during a Tiktok matter, she was nutty back then, too.

Long, a professional auctioneer before joining Congress, gave the call in a booming voice when activist Laura Loomer stood up to accuse Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who was testifying, of trying to tilt the midterm elections in favor of Democrats. Loomer refused to stop interrupting, so Long drew upon his auctioneering skills until Loomer was eventually escorted out of the hearing room.

6. Bwahaha

But I'm not sure the call was completely fake - towards the end I'm sure he said "cell phone".

[IronLionZion]

9. Yes because she had her phone on a selfie stick to record herself

[Kali]

10. yep

he said "we're sellin' the cell phone"

[canetoad]

18. Well caught

Those were the only words I could make out.

[Kali]

21. been watching livestock sales since I was a kid

the local one is on line now, I can sit at the computer and watch - makes great background noise too. I like to practice guessing weights and listening for the humor that is always tossed in to the banter.

[Srkdqltr]

8. Thats too funny. Wonder what he sold her for?

Never mind, don't care.

[Kali]

11. that was great

[Dem4life1970]

12. Now he should go to every...

...Trump Rally and do this while Trump is speaking

[Judi Lynn]

13. So damned enjoyable! Bless his heart! Thank you, CoopersDad;

Hooray for Congressman Long!

[Martin68]

14. The insanity is beginning to destroy the Trump campaign.

[Pinback]

15. Holy shit!

I’ve got to look up the transcript in the Congressional Record!

[Iggo]

16. Is she the one who chained herself to a door in protest, and people just used the other door?

[keep_left]

22. Yes. She isn't well now, and hasn't been...

...for quite some time. She really needs a medication adjustment, and I'm not kidding about that.

Loomer has become something of a running joke with the hosts of the Chapo Trap House podcast. But it's not so funny after so many years--I mean, she's in her 30s--how long can she keep running this grift? And who's paying for it?!

[Blue_Roses]

25. She's just not "right".

I read some of her history and the things she has done. I just can't imagine living and causing the constant turmoil and chaos she throws around on people. Constantly. Does she really take meds and if so, what are they for? She is disturbing and concerning at the same time.

[keep_left]

28. I don't have any particular knowledge of what is going on with Loomer, but...

...it's quite clear that something is wrong. It's hard to believe that she isn't on some kind of psych meds, based on her behavior over the years--though clearly those meds have been...out of calibration...for some time now. There has been some whispering from various corners of the internet, particularly the hosts of the Chapo Trap House podcast, but nothing definitive.

Loomer has clearly been able to turn all this chaos into a relatively profitable grift, which has included two runs for Congress. She has been a "reporter" for several of the hermetically-sealed far-right "news" organizations ( InfoWars, Project Veritas, etc. ), and has even been part of a phony and widely-panned "documentary" about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Importing Ilhan.

[not fooled]

17. One of the few constructive things a Republican has done in Congress

for quite some time.

[Tanuki]

19. I had forgotten all about that gem! Thanks for the laugh!

[Devilsun]

20. That was classic! What type of livestock was on the auction block?

[Warpy]

23. Damn, a Republican and it was PERFECT

Guy was probably a decent auctioneer, also.

Kudos to Rep. Long. I probably don't agree with him on a single thing except shutting that idiot down, but we agreed on that.

[Renew Deal]

24. "I yield back"

[CoopersDad]

26. Just as she left the chamber, his work done.

That was pitch-perfect!

[yellowcanine]

29. I love the "I yield back." Pure genius.
