Jared Holt reports at Right Wing Watch:
A cast of far-right figures joined anti-Muslim provocateur and self-proclaimed “Islamophobe” Laura Loomer at a party celebrating her win of the Republican nomination to represent Florida’s 21st Congressional District in the U.S. House last night.
Although Loomer faces a difficult challenge against incumbent Democrat Rep. Lois Frankel in a solidly blue district, her GOP nomination has invigorated far-right activists and media personalities, and excited figures notorious for spreading disinformation.
Right Wing Watch noted yesterday that Loomer, who was endorsed by a number of far-right personalities, was likely to win her primary. President Donald Trump congratulated Loomer on her win in a tweet last night.
At the link you’ll see that attendees last night included Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, seven-time felon Roger Stone, homocon douchebag Milo Yiannopoulos, and failed smear merchant Jacob Wohl.
Laura Loomer was party to a crime when she and Jacob Wohl, in attempts to frame Ilhan Omar, went to a Michigan PD with a printed out list of death threat emails Wohl said he received from Omar. They were all traced back to email accounts that Wohl registered. pic.twitter.com/6NTJrwUyv1

Laura Loomer says that she's a "proud Islamophobe," said that she doesn't "care" about the 2019 anti-Muslim mass shooting in Christchurch, and has stated that she's in favor of "more" migrant deaths.

Other notable backers of Loomer include Fox News hosts Jeanine Pirro and Pete Hegseth, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and, of course, President Trump.
