While I understand that people are on high-alert after the awful terrorist attack in New York City this week, it seems like some people are using that tragedy to once again wave their racist flags. And no one has made that more obvious than right-wing activist and garbage pail, Laura Loomer.
Loomer, who calls herself an “investigative journalist” on Twitter, has just been banned by Uber and Lyft after posting some pretty damn racist tweets. It all kicked off when this idiot tweeted this:
I’m late to the NYPD press conference because I couldn’t find a non Muslim cab or @Uber @lyft driver for over 30 min! This is insanity.
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) November 1, 2017
And then this:
Someone needs to create a non Islamic form of @uber or @lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver.
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) November 1, 2017
And then she tweeted this trash:
Nearly every cab @uber @lyft driver in NYC is Muslim. It’s extremely unfortunate and this is a conversation we need to have for our safety.
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) November 1, 2017
And it wasn’t long before Uber told Business Insider that Loomer had been banned for violating community guidelines. And Lyft also revealed they had also deactivated Loomer’s account.
And Twitter decided to jump in as well and bash Loomer for being a complete trash bag.
Walk. Give you time to rethink that ignorant remark.

It’s time to consider who gets to stay in our country, instead of who is banned coming to it. Let’s start w this genius on the deport list.

it IS insanity that your paranoia and racism is making you late for stuff. Hope the driver you choose isn’t a well armed white supremacist.

And the prospect of walking and thinking all at the same time might just be too much of a stretch for this little one.

Imagine telling your boss “Sorry, I’m 30 minutes late for work because of how racist I am.” https://t.co/e3pIFXlA9j

Funny, I spoke with the Muslim cab and Uber drivers who encountered you. They said your soul was hot garbage, so they drove away.

This idiot should buy herself a scooter and wheel her racist-self to work.
