Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist, provocateur and self-described investigative journalist, reportedly had her media credentials to cover the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) revoked Saturday after harassing several journalists.
Ms. Loomer, 25, shared video of her surrendering a laminated CPAC media badge to a security official shortly before President Trump spoke on the final day of the annual event near Washington, D.C.
“CPAC banned me from watching @realdonaldtrump’s speech and revoked my media credentials,” Ms. Loomer said on social media.

More recently, Ms. Loomer repeatedly caused scenes at CPAC in the conference’s first couple days. She co-hosted a press conference on Thursday at CPAC to publicly accuse Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, of marrying her own brother as part of a purported fraud scheme prior to her career in politics, and on Friday she was spotted repeatedly confronting and heckling several credentialed reporters seriously covering the event.
“Loomer was chasing him around and trying to yell at him but because she was in the press area she couldn’t yell super loudly,” writer Molly Jong-Fast told Washingtonian about an incident she witnessed involving Ms. Loomer and a CNN reporter. “She really did come after him and did not go away.”
“She started following me around and accusing me of slandering her for calling her an anti-Muslim extremist, which she is,” added HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias.

I hope the CNN puke was Little Jimmy Acosta.
Coach conservative? Uh nah
I listened to a live interview this afternoon and she said the group Right Wing Watch had told CPAC to cancel her credentials because they described her as an activist and not a journalist. And they did.
they described her as an activist and not a journalist.

You mean like everyone on cnn,msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc etc?
But Van Jones is fine. CPAC is past it’s use by date.
Van JonesSHOULD NOT have been there!
If she has her story correct, I have no idea why CPAC caved to Right Wing Watch.
If they really only let in journalists, CPAC could have been held in the corner booth at any IHOP.

I like her. She’s got grit.
She needs to take off a few pounds before the left takes her seriously.
She doesn’t let any grass grow under her feet, does she?
God bless her.
You are precisely correct. Laura is an activist and bless her for this. Pulling her credentials perhaps is justified? If the same standard is applied to all, most of the MSM should have their credentials also revoked.
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
That was a bit tacky, sir! Explain Micheal Moore.
I love Laura's political activism.
the right wing is turning into the left ...
And you believed her?
Matt Schlapp acted on Right Wing Watch's recommendation?
More likely that he didn't want a self promoting attention junkie disrupting the conference.
They take Stacey Abrams and Michelle Obama seriously
