| Hi, I'm Laura Loomer, and I'm running for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district. | ||
| Wouldn't it be horrible if we lived in a nation where journalists were silenced just because they confronted the political and media elite? | ||
| You might think that could never happen in America, but it did. | ||
| And to me. | ||
| For confronting people like Hillary Clinton on her corruption and Ilhan Omar for her ties to radical Islamic terror groups, I have been banned on pretty much every single social media platform. | ||
| And if that doesn't sound extreme enough, I'm also banned on Uber and Lyft. | ||
| I know, I cannot understand that last one either. | ||
| When this all happened to me, I contacted the media and members of Congress. | ||
| I asked them for help. | ||
| I kept calling, I kept emailing, but I never received a reply. | ||
| And that's when it hit me. | ||
| I'm a well-known journalist who has the phone numbers of the most powerful people in politics and media, yet I couldn't get any assistance. | ||
| What on earth would the average American do if the same thing happened to them? | ||
| I realized then that if I wanted to see change, that I would need to run for office. | ||
| The American people deserve representation that listens to and acts on their concerns. |
