Far rights activist Laura Loomer calls for 'ban on Muslims holding political office in US'

Far-right activist and Republican congressional candidate Laura Loomer, late Friday evening, announced that she will no longer endorse or support political candidates unless they meet a series of stringent policy demands.

Taking to microblogging site X, Loomer said, “Over the years, I have been very generous with my time and resources helping Republicans get elected to office. Probably too generous. As I get bombarded with requests for favours ahead of 2026 and 2028, I have decided I can’t be so generous.”

She outlined a list of requirements for any candidate seeking her support, including calling for “a ban on Muslims holding political office in the US,” designating “the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization,” and supporting an executive order from the Trump administration “banning Sharia law.”

Other conditions listed by Loomer include creating “a nationwide ban on halal animal sacrifice on US soil,” a federal ban on cousin marriage, condemning Qatar for allegedly financing Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, supporting a ban on the burqa and hijab, and making female genital mutilation “a federal felony.” She also called for banning foreign military bases on U.S. soil and making it illegal to take an oath of office on the Quran.

Loomer added, “If you are not willing to do those things or publicly pledge to support those things, don’t bother asking me for help. You are not worthy of my support unless you agree with everything listed above.”
