Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter's NYC headquarters on November 21st, protesting her permanent ban by CEO Jack Dorsey. She alleges a double standard where reporting on Ilhan Omar led to her silence while figures like Louis Farrakhan remain active despite hate speech. Loomer accuses big tech, including Mark Zuckerberg and Saudi billionaire Al-Waleed bin Talal, of enforcing Sharia law to suppress conservative voices ahead of elections. Facing police attempts to remove her signs, she maintained willingness to be arrested to expose what she terms egregious bias against conservatives and Jews on social media platforms. [Automatically generated summary]
As a Jewish woman, I stand before you today wearing the Jewish star that the Nazis made the Jews wear during the Holocaust.
What Jack Dorsey is doing with his egregious double standard by allowing for verified, hateful liberals and leftists and jihadis to spew their hate and violence on social media while banning a Jewish conservative journalist like myself and millions of conservatives all across the country.
He's trying to stifle Speech in this country and ruin what makes this country the greatest country on the planet.
And that's our First Amendment right, our right to free speech.
It is egregious that nearly 70 years since the time of the Holocaust, we are now starting to normalize these to think that even after the Holocaust, a Jewish journalist is banned from posting facts about individuals who preach hatred towards Jewish people, who call for the killing of Jews and Christians, but they allow for jihadis and radicals and people like Lewis Garakov, your host.

I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm anti-termite.
Well, what do you do when you have a termite infestation?
I am physically handcuffed to the door of Twitter.
I am physically handcuffed to the door of Twitter because Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg and many of these other multi-millionaire CEOs of these left-leaning big tech corporations want to silence me.
I have here thousands of examples of tweets that are still on Twitter today from verified liberals, verified Muslims, verified anybody who isn't conservative, right?
Spewing hatred, saying things like, I'll admit it, I hate white people.
All of these tweets right here are still on Twitter.
Jack Dorsey won't remove those.
According to Twitter, it's okay if you want to preach hate against the Jews.
It's okay if you want to preach hate against white people.
It's okay, according to Jack Dorsey, if you want to preach hate against conservatives, right?
You don't get banned for that.
That's not a violation of the terms of service.
But if you're a Jewish conservative journalist like myself, exposing these people, these leftists, or if you are just a conservative in general, you'll be silenced.
You'll be shut down, you'll be silenced.
You'll be shut down.
And I'm here today, and you can see the back of my sweater, to tell Jack Dorsey to stop the bias.
Stop the bias of conservatives, Jack Dorsey.
Stop the bias of conservatives on your platform.
Stop the bias.
All around the world, Jack Dorsey.
Millions of conservatives have been shut down and censored.
Our brothers and sisters in the United Kingdom have to fear for arrest.
They have to fear that they're going to have their doors knocked down in the middle of the night if they post wrongthink.
If they criticize Islam or Sharia, they fear, just like Tommy Robinson did, when he simply wanted to raise awareness about Muslim rape gangs, which was well documented in the courts.
And then the police knocked his door down.
They arrested him and they sent him to jail.
They sent him to jail where he was starved, he was tortured, and he was abused by Muslim gang members.
They intentionally put Tommy Robinson in a prison cell next to the people who he was trying to expose on social media.
And he had to endure all of this punishment and torture, human rights violations, because our social media companies, Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Google, Instagram, they are essentially upholding Sharia.
Silicon Valley is essentially upholding Sharia when they decide to ban me for posting facts about Islam.
When they decide to ban me for posting facts about Sharia law or criticizing an anti-Jewish Muslim congresswoman, this is America.
We have a United States Constitution and Sharia law is completely incompatible with our United States Constitution.
You know, if Jack Dorsey wants to come outside, I want to know.
I would love to know, Jack, why it's okay for people to say things like they want to assassinate President Trump.
I want to shoot Trump in the head.
Fuck white people.
All white people are racist.
God, can someone just shoot Trump already?
I mean, why is this allowed on Twitter, Jack Dorsey?
I want to know how that is hate, how that's not hate speech, but my tweet up there, isn't it tyrantic?
How the Twitter moments used to celebrate women, LGBTQ, and minorities is a picture of Ilhan Omar.
And I had a sign.
I had a sign here that I wanted to show you guys, but Twitter confiscated it.
So already, here in America, you know, I have a right to protest.
I have a right to peacefully protest here.
And I can't even protest because even on the outside, Jack Dorsey is sending his goons to confiscate my sign.
I want to know why Jew hatred is okay at Twitter, where Louis Vericon can essentially call for the extermination of Jews, just like Hitler did.
But then a Jewish journalist is shut down simply for reporting the truth.
I want to know.
I want to know.
And he won't give me back my sign.
There you can see my sign right there.
There you can see it.
so for all of you watching you know you need to be aware of this egregious double standard here i'm gonna leave
You know, I'm here today to stand in solidarity with the millions of conservatives all across the world who have been silenced and censored by these big tech corporations, by people like Jack Dorsey and people like Mark Zuckerberg simply because they're conservative, right?
Silicon Valley is trying to regulate speech.
They're trying to destroy our First Amendment right.
And I'm not going to leave.
I'm not going to leave.
You know, Jack Dorsey kicked me off Twitter, but here I am, literally locked to Twitter now.
The police are showing up right now, so I don't know.
Maybe I will get arrested, but I'm willing to go to jail just like Tommy Robinson went to jail.
You know, I'm willing to go to jail to fight for my country, to fight for the rights of the millions of conservatives all around the world who are being censored and controlled and manipulated by people here in this building, by people like Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg, who think that they can silence people like me, silence people like you, silence anybody simply because they don't agree with what we have to say.
unidentified
Do you think that you were the most radical person on Twitter who, you know.
I want to know why Jack Dorsey permanently banned me on Twitter for hate speech, but he won't ban Louis Farrakhan.
I want to know, Jack Dorsey, why?
How is it that calling out Jew hatred, homophobia, and women's abuses under Sharia law is hate speech, but Louis Farrakhan, the leader of Nation of Islam, is allowed to tweet, I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm anti-termite.
Is that your policy at Twitter, Jack Dorsey?
Do you have a policy that it's okay to call Jews termites, but that Jewish journalists like myself are not allowed to report the truth?
I had 265,000 followers, and now I have been silenced in a targeted attack of political warfare.
This is an act of political warfare on behalf of these big tech social media companies.
They are silencing conservatives like myself.
And on September 5th, 2018, I confronted Jack Dorsey during the congressional hearing on social media.
And I called him out for his censorship and shadow banning of conservatives.
And I warned President Trump, President Trump, please help us before it is too late.
Because the Democrats want to steal the election.
They want to sway the election.
And they're going to accomplish that by getting people like Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook to silence us on social media.
Every single week, prominent conservative influencers like myself are being shut down on social media.
He was a driver for Uber and he killed eight people.
And I don't understand it.
I thought people in America learned their lesson about the implications Sharia law has on 9-11 here in this city.
But now, now Twitter, they want to help enforce Sharia in Silicon Valley by silencing Jews like myself, silencing Jewish conservatives like myself, while they protect vile Jew haters like Louis Farrakhan.
How come that is not hate speech?
How come that is allowed on Twitter?
I want to know why that is allowed on Twitter, but my tweet, and you can show them, how come that tweet got me banned?
I want to know.
I want to know why in the year 2018 here in America, the land of the free, where we supposedly have brief speech, why a Jewish journalist is not allowed to be on Facebook or Twitter simply because they report the truth about Sharia law.
I want to know.
I want to know why Silicon Valley is giving a pass to groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
CARE, designated Islamic terrorist organizations who all have Twitter and Facebook pages.
How come terrorists are allowed to be on social media, but a Jewish journalist isn't?
I want to know.
unidentified
How come oppressive Jews constantly kill Palestinians daily?
Just like Ilhan Amar supports Hamas and refused to disavow Hamas when I asked her.
So this is the problem here.
We have people like this individual who's in front of me right now who are just like these representatives, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, who have refused to condemn Islamic terrorism.
You have people like Linda Sarsaur and Louis Varrakhan who advocate for jihad and the death of Jews and the death of Jews and they call for Sharia and they are allowed to use social media.
But I am not.
unidentified
There is something seriously wrong with that.
There is something seriously wrong in this country.
In this country, when terrorist organizations and jihadis and people who are sympathetic towards terrorists, she has a megaphone, I don't know.
I wrote thousands of examples with me of verified hate.
You can go on Twitter today and type in hashtag verified hate and you can see for yourself.
You can see for yourself thousands of examples of tweets, assassination threats towards President Donald Trump, threats to kill white people, threats to kill Jewish people, terrorist threats.
All of this is allowed on Twitter.
But a Jewish journalist, I don't have freedom of speech.
How come these people get freedom of speech when I don't?
And yes, a lot of people know who I am because I had 265,000 followers.
But this isn't just about me.
This is about the millions of people around the world, millions of conservatives who are being censored by social media companies every single day.
This is about the millions of hardworking Americans who have been banned from Twitter, banned from Facebook permanently without any reason other than simply because they are conservatives.
Simply because they are a Trump supporter.
Simply because they decided to call out Sharia law or expose Islam or talk about jihadis in our government.
That should not be a vanable offense.
I want to know why the terrorists and the jihadis and the Jew haters are allowed to spew their actual hate on Twitter.
And if we allow this to keep happening, if our members of Congress don't do something, if they don't pass some type of legislation before it is too late, there's not going to be anybody left to speak out for conservatives.
There's not going to be anybody left to stick up for the Jews.
There's not going to be anybody left to call out Sharia and Jihad.
Because we will have allowed for these social media corporations to take control of the digital public square so that they can enforce Sharia and ban conservative wrong thing from the internet.
And Jack Dorsey, who I, of course, confronted during the congressional hearing when I called him out, I called him out for being a liar.
And you know why?
Jack Dorsey is a liar.
Because when our members of Congress asked Jack Dorsey if he censored conservatives, he said no.
Mark Zuckerberg said no.
Sheryl Sandberg said no.
They don't do that.
But, you know, all you got to do is go watch the Project Bear attack videos.
All you got to go do is watch James O'Keefe's investigation.
They paused him on camera, literally targeting conservatives, admitting that they're going to shadow ban and censor conservatives.
They were even caught on camera talking about how they targeted me, how they targeted me because of my views on Sharia.
I was unverified over a year ago because of my views on Islam, my views on Sharia, and calling out jihadis who killed eight people here in New York City.
It's out of control.
It is out of control.
But Jack Dorsey committed perjury when he lied to those members of Congress and they let him get away with it.
And it is time to put a stop to this.
We need to stop the bias.
We need to stop the bias because we are not Russian gods, right?
We are not hateful individuals.
We are not Nazis.
We are not racists.
We are not bigots.
We are just conservatives.
But as a Jewish conservative woman in this country, sort of a Jewish man who was arrested by Nazis in Germany, I was on the internet by the press, by Twitter and Facebook, simply for exposing Jew hatred.
for exposing Sharia.
I never thought this day would come.
I never thought this day would come.
That we would see rising levels of Jew hatred.
That we would see, even after 9-11 and the horrors of the Holocaust, people giving into this, giving into Sharia, right?
Allowing for jihadis and leftists to call for the assassination of our president.
All of this verified hate that is allowed on Twitter.
And if you're a Jewish conservative journalist like myself, and you dare speak out about Jew hatred or the Islamification of this country, you will be banned.
I find it unbelievable that in this day and age, in this city, here in New York City, Twitter and Facebook and Google and all of these big tech companies that line this sidewalk.
You walk down the street, you'll find Google.
All the big tech buildings are here.
They are enforcing Sharia on Silicon Valley.
And every day, people are wondering, why do I get shut down on social media?
Why am I getting banned for posting facts about Islam?
Why am I getting banned when liberals are allowed to call for the assassination of President Trump?
It's just insanity.
Zuckerberg We just can't.
They're trying to influence our elections.
In fact, big tech corporations like Twitter and Facebook have polluted to interfere in U.S. elections more than the Russians ever did.
More than the Russians ever did by shutting people down.
Did you know that Twitter shut me down a week prior to the midterm election because I was exposing high-profile leftists and jihadis, and my video investigations were so effective, I caused the Women's March to ask Linda Sarsour, who is a jihadi, a verified user on Twitter, a verified jihadi on Twitter, right?
She gets to use Twitter.
I don't.
My video forced the Women's March to disavow Linda Sarsour and ask her to step down.
And then a week prior to the election, I was suspended.
And I wasn't allowed to, as a journalist in this country, put my political reports out.
unidentified
So, Laura, what are you hoping will cause up your protests today?
You know, I hope that everybody can see that this is egregious.
Regardless of your politics, I think that we can all agree.
Someone please grab that.
I think that we can all agree if you show the comparison.
Who has the barracks?
That if you get banned for this in America, but you don't get banned for that, well, the only thing I can think of is either Twitter hates Jews, Facebook hates Jews, right?
Or they're biased against conservatives.
So what is it?
Why aren't you allowed to?
Why is it that a Jewish journalist is getting banned?
A Jewish conservative journalist is being banned from Twitter for posting facts, but then Louis Farrakhan can post, I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm anti-termite.
Hitler was a great man, advocating for jihad, and then he is still on Twitter.
When you decide to basically push people into the two logs off the feet when all of these people talking public sphere, right, you exile them typically because the problem thing.
unidentified
Thanks, I appreciate it.
to try this on.
I throw away the teeth because I'm not going to cloud on Twitter or Facebook or any of these social media companies that we see in the past.
Our voice matter, our voice matters to dynamic.
I throw away the teeth.
Welcome to Twitter.
And if you're a nosy Jew, you're banned.

On November 24th, 2018, Dora Libert, a current media journalist, was commonly banned alive.
And then she won every day less than 24 hours later.
Another example of collusion by Nick Tech giants who sent their conservative signals to handle the whiteboard with a tweet full of facts about your family.
What about the people who are just coming to work another day?
But in a second, they selectively choose how to enforce their rules.
Popular, influential, conservative, and libertarian voices, including Chuck Johnson, Martha Lee-Napolis, Roger Staw, Alex Johns, Ken Sim, Connie Robinson, John Blackova, and Mel Michael.
If constitutionalists stand together in the United States, if we don't allow for both sides to support the action we heard, we will quickly become a totalitarian.
unidentified
This is how pirates did not with streams and bloodshed, but with compliance and silence.
What do you say on my Twitter side?
I now have a house to talk about the receipt signs.
I have also now included many other conservatives and libertarians who will ban manage silence by good check while we allow for lessons that we want to set up with this much first amendment, including just President Donald Trump.
On November 28, 2018, Mary Franklin, the former federal radical leader and founder of Missouri Margaret, amended that the anti-918 words.
Out of this state linked them today was Laura Roomer, a courageous Jewish female journalist who was just banned by Spanish Facebook and criticizing the buttons of honorable.
The retaliation by Twitter and Facebook as set forth in the amended complaint was not only a violation of our anti-trust laws and other laws, but rates of anti-Semitism against the Jewish conservative woman.
Ironically, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is a card-ferry member of the Jewish black.

Why would Laura Luber not speak up about the Deadspin Awards happening December 5th at Irving Plaza?
You can find tickets at HTTP: www.deadspin.com.
That site again is HTTP colon slash slash www.deadspin.com.
Nice.
All right, are you going to have a question better for you guys?
Do I need the app on the HTTP?deadspin.com.
Device figures.
Open bar.
Misunderstand.
Why will you not speak up about the absolutely stacked category of best athlete meltdown?
We have Draymond Green and also Rejoin Ronda and Chris Paul.
And then there was a guy at LA Fitness who called 911 in a pickup basketball game.
Just like I told Jack Dorsey during the congressional hearing.
We need to stop the bias of conservatives on social media.
And if you're listening to this feed wherever you are around the world, make sure that you do hashtag stop the bias.
Stop the bias and you call these people out and you demand from your congressmen and you demand from President Trump that something is done about this.
It is unacceptable that in America, right, in the current year, that conservatives are being wiped away from the internet for posting facts by simply having an opinion.
They want to have an echo chamber here at Twitter full of leftists, violent liberals, and jihadists.
That's what they want.
And this isn't just about me, you guys.
This is about all of us.
You know, we need to fight censorship.
The First Amendment in this country allows for you to say what you want, whatever you want, as long as you are not inciting violence against anybody.
And we all need to stand together, regardless of our political ideology, and fight to protect our First Amendment, to fight to protect free speech.
We need to.
We have a duty to call out this egregious double standard.
This Twitter the other day, they shut down a combat veteran.
They shut down a guy by the name of Jesse Kelly.
They banned his accounts permanently.
People who are going overseas and risking their lives fighting for us, fighting for our First Amendment rights, they're shutting these people down.
And it wasn't until mainstream media and people who were outreached on both sides of the aisle spoke out about it, that Twitter, I guess, they just decided to reverse their decision and reinstate Jesse Kelly's account.
But you have to ask yourself, why is it that Twitter is permanently banning people for posting truths and science and facts and truths about Sharia?
Why are they banning people who are posting facts?
I don't understand why, like, all these speeches where I hate are allowed on Twitter, but for posting facts, that should still get banned.
Why are you allowed to say things like, I hope somebody shoots John in the head, or I hate all white people?
Why are you allowed to say stuff like that on Twitter?
But then, if you're a Jewish journalist like myself, you get banned.
Something is seriously wrong on Twitter and Facebook, all of these companies.
Why are you allowed to call for the assassination of the president and not have your account taken down?
But then you're banned and you're censored if you're a Jewish journalist like myself.
Why are conservatives being shut down for posting facts when you're allowed to post any of these hateful tweets?
Why are you allowed to say, kill all white people?
Why?
Why is that allowed?
You know, it's really disgusting.
Somebody's going to get hurt someday.
No, Twitter is allowing for all this hateful speech to actually be spread throughout their platform by verified liberals and jihadists and leftists, but then they're banning conservatives for posting facts and opinions.
You know, and maybe the mainstream media will finally do their job and report about this egregious double standard because conservatives are being targeted.
The Democrats in Silicon Valley, they're trying to silence our people so that they can win elections.
We are protecting terrorist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas, which have verified fans and face with accounts, but then they're banning people like me, Jewish conservative journalists, Tell them how you feel, Laura.
Facebook and Twitter are now the digital, the digital public squares.
Everything takes place on Facebook and Twitter.
And to just decide one day that you're going to ban an entire group of people from the internet because you don't like their opinions, that's egregious.
You're putting off nearly half of the country from participating in dialogue on social media simply because you don't agree with that.
And well, you know, I'm here at Twitter, and I brought these tweets, comparisons, my tweet that I stand for, and Louis Farrakhan's tweet, which is still up on Twitter.
unidentified
He has not even been suspended for this tweet, okay?
And for the members of the media who are here, take a copy of all of these verified death threats against the president, all of these verified hateful comments against white people, calls for acts of terrorism that are still on Twitter.
You don't get banned for that on Twitter.
But if you're a Jewish conservative journalist, or if you're using a conservative intellectual or a conservative commentator, you will be banned.
Why does Louis Maricop get to say he's not anti-Semite, he's anti-Twermite, and not get banned from Twitter?
How come he hasn't even been suspended, but then I get shut down a week before the midterm election simply because I'm an affected conservative investigative journalist, right?
unidentified
And then I get permanently banned.
It's almost as if Twitter hates Jews and conservatives.
If you go to my website, coreweaver.us, and you read my most recent article, Why I Was Banned, I have included three pasteboards, and inside these pasteboards are thousands of archived tweets from verified liberals and verified leftists who have posted assassination threats against President Trump.
They've posted threats against white people.
They have actually posted hateful violence rhetoric that it is still allowed on their Twitter.
Jack Dorsey doesn't ban it.
unidentified
But not only was I banned, but I was also unverified.
If Jack Dorsey, you, Jack Dorsey, you can put me on the phone with Jack Dorsey and you can tell him to stop censoring conservatives or stop banning Jews like myself.
unidentified
And I will leave.
So maybe you guys should, because I want to know why.
See, the police officers now, for those of you who are watching, they're asking me how long they want me to hear because there's no way to get Jeffy's cups off because he's gone, right?
Because why is it that Islamic terrorist organizations that call for the murdering of Jews and Christians and homosexuals are allowed to have Facebook pages, but I'm not allowed to, right?
Isn't that weird?
Isn't that kind of crazy?
unidentified
The question for you is...
I know you guys are part of the demonstration.
If you want, you see that area right there where she is?
Would you like to be put into that area over there?
It's not really, I mean, it's a demonstration area.
It's not a bit, we hate to say the word, and it's a horrible word to use.
So is there anybody else with you that wants to go stand over there?
We'll bring you over to once.
The only thing we're going to ask you is it's built out.
You can stay inside of it.
I just can't, you can't be reaching over with her and everything else.
All we ask you is, all right?
So if you want, we're going to walk you over there.
You can stay over there with her.
Because at some point, you guys understand we're going to have to remove her from the door.
We're not going to make her leave, but we can give you a demonstration area.
That's what our goal is going to be.
All right, so whoever wants to go, we'll walk you over there now.
You'll be closer to her instead of being over here.
No, no, we got you.
We got you.
I just want to make sure who you guys are with.
Okay.
So you could tell me, if you could tell me which group you're with, who's in your group?
You work for an anti-Jewish company that allows for jihadis and terrorist organizations and shadow banning and you're censoring and you're banning conservatives.
This is for all of you guys, you know, because it is a enough is enough.
When are our members of Congress going to do something about the silencing of conservative voices?
Enough is enough, all right?
There is a terrible double standard that exists at Twitter, where if you're a liberal or if you're a Muslim, you're allowed to say and do whatever you want.
Whether that's calling for Jew hatred, calling Jews termites, calling for terrorist attacks, inciting jihad like Linda Sarsour, right?
Well, I want people to start speaking up about the censorship and the silencing and the banning of conservatives on social media.
I want people to start to ask, right, do you value free speech?
Do you value living here in America, having the right to say what you want?
Or do you want to live in a world where the police could come to your house and arrest you at 3 in the morning and knock on your door and throw you in jail or you will be tortured and starved like Tommy Robinson simply for having a wrong thing, right?
A thought that someone sitting in their office here in New York and Twitter or Silicon Valley, right, with Mark Zuckerberg in California and San Francisco, if they don't like it, do you want to have your life ruined, right?
They are banning people on PayPal.
They are banning people.
My friend Faye Foldie, for example, was banned on PayPal.
They're banning people and you're not even able to make a living now.
