Laura Loomer Crashes Jack Dorsey Hearing, Drowned Out by GOP Rep. Doing an Amazing Auctioneer Voice
Alt-right provocateur Laura Loomer tried to interrupt Jack Dorsey during his congressional hearing today, though depending on where you sat in Congress, you might not have noticed because you were distracted by the hilarious mockery she got from Congressman Billy Long (R-MO).
Loomer teamed up with Alex Jones and his motley crew of conspiracy-peddling whack jobs as they went around Congress to bemoan conservative censorship on social media. When Dorsey testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee about this alleged suppression, Loomer got up and started screaming about how the Twitter CEO is a “liar” and trying to use his platform to swing the midterm elections.
If Loomer was looking to be taken seriously though, it looks like it didn’t work. How do we know? Well, since she was too far away for Long to hear her rambling, he called on his experience as an auctioneer and joked the interruption away as Loomer was escorted out by Capitol Police.
Here’s another angle for you to observe.
here’s the moment that House Republicans (led by Chairman Greg Walden) comically drowned out Laura Loomer’s interruption when she stood and screamed that Jack Dorsey was “a liar.” pic.twitter.com/8TiMaTDcaK
