On January 14, 2019, Laura Loomer convinced several men, whom she claimed were undocumented, to join her in jumping the fence at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in Napa, California. The group set up a tent on Pelosi's lawn to protest immigration policies. While police eventually removed them, no arrests were made.
Just days later, Loomer attempted to disrupt the 2019 Women’s March in Washington, D.C., by interrupting a speaker on stage. She appeared onstage, labeling the Women’s March as a "Nazi" organization, and as security escorted her off, she shouted, "What about the Jews?"
Later that same month, on January 30, 2019, Loomer and a group of others scaled the wall surrounding the California Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento as part of her continued protests.
On COVID-19
Laura Loomer downplayed the seriousness of COVID-19 in December 2020, writing on social media, "I hope I get COVID just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life-threatening than a hyped-up virus." However, in September 2021, Loomer announced that she had contracted the virus and was struggling with symptoms. She revealed on Telegram that she was in significant pain and asked her followers to pray for her, despite using various treatments, including some that had been proven ineffective against the virus.
Even after her experience with COVID-19, Loomer continued to assert that vaccines were "unsafe and ineffective" and declared she would not get vaccinated in the future.
On school shootings
Laura Loomer has propagated several false claims regarding significant events. She falsely stated that the February 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and the May 2018 shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, were staged, and also claimed that crisis actors were involved in the Santa Fe incident. Additionally, Loomer promoted the unfounded assertion that the perpetrator of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was affiliated with ISIS.
In July 2018, Loomer inaccurately described a man arrested in South Dakota with bomb-making materials and illegal weapons as a "leftist antifa terrorist." However, the man's social media activity and his brother's statements indicated he was a conservative who disliked both liberals and Antifa.
During the October 2018 U.S. mail bombing attempts, Loomer falsely labeled the attacks as a "false flag" operation orchestrated by Democrats.
In 2023, she made another baseless claim, accusing Casey DeSantis, the wife of presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, of exaggerating her breast cancer diagnosis to garner sympathy and boost her husband's campaign.
Problems for Trump
Since the 9/11 event Trump has started distancing himself from Loomer after backlash from the party.
