Legendary Comedian Roseanne Barr Will Hit the Trail for Laura Loomer’s Congressional Campaign

Congressional candidate Laura Loomer is getting support from comedian Roseanne Barr, who was fired from her high-rated show after making a controversial Twitter post.

Jon Levine of the New York Post made the announcement on social media:

“I’ve known Roseanne for about three years or so. We’re friends. We talk on the phone often and email back and forth, and when I went out to California last year she interviewed me, and we’ve just maintained a really close friendship,” Loomer said to the Washington Examiner regarding the endorsement.

“I was supposed to go to Israel with her. She’s invited me to her home in Hawaii. We’re just good friends,” Loomer added.

Loomer, who is running as a Republican candidate in Florida’s 21st Congressional district, noted that Barr liked her controversial style, and that is what brought the two iconoclastic personalities together.

“Roseanne loved the fact that I put illegal aliens on Nancy Pelosi’s lawn, and that’s one of the reasons she put me on her podcast last year because she thought it was brilliant performance art,” Loomer said.

Loomer, who has been deplatformed and discriminated against by mainstream social media platforms, sees Barr as a fellow traveler due to the problems the legendary comedian has had because of her Ambien-influenced Twitter posts.

“They’ve tried to destroy her livelihood and her reputation for making a joke. She used to be a member of the Left. but she realizes the importance of protecting free speech and our constitutional values like freedom of expression,” Loomer said regarding Barr.

“She admires the fact that I’m taking on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jew-haters in Congress head on,” Loomer added.

Loomer has shown in recent months that she is far from a gadfly candidate. She is raking up the dollars in a state-of-the-art campaign proving that a candidate can be competitive without having access to the monopoly Big Brother tech firms:

Congressional candidate and banished journalist Laura Loomer is showing that she is a serious contender to be reckoned with, crushing her incumbent Democrat opponent in fundraising numbers for a second straight quarter.

Loomer’s campaign announced last week that she raised $202,135 during the 4th quarter of 2019 from a wide variety of small donors. She has received support from 7,000 donors, with the average donation being $56, while entrenched swamp creature Lois Frankel relies largely on special interests to fill her campaign coffers.

“I’m grateful for the support of Floridians and the ongoing contributions from Americans across the nation. Our fundraising success is proof that our America First message resonates with a majority of the public,” Loomer said.

Loomer’s chief strategist Karen Giorno, who worked as President Trump’s 2016 Florida State Director, pointed out how shamefully narrow Frankel’s donor base is.

Giorno said: “It’s astonishing that a sitting member of Congress has only 159 donors to support a reelection campaign. The lack of effort by Lois Frankel is emblematic of her do-nothing tenure in Congress. She’s earned the name, ‘Lazy Lois.’”

In addition to beating Frankel, Loomer is also crushing all of her primary competition within the GOP in the 21st Congressional district of Florida. Loomer’s campaign is particularly critical of Frankel for taking money from PACs funded by gun-grabbing former New York City mayor and current Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

“Unlike our opponent, Lois Frankel, our campaign doesn’t rely on large contributions from fat cat donors, teacher’s unions and Michael Bloomberg. We’ve had to work hard and reinvest donations to build a massive base of fundraising and grassroots support that will serve us through November,” Giorno said.

What is most astonishing is how Loomer has raised the money despite being deplatformed by all major social media platforms. She is currently suing the Big Tech giants, alleging their conspiracy to censor her constitutes the type of electoral interference that Democrats regularly accuse the Russians of committing.

“Despite being shut down by Big Tech, we’ve put in the hard work to stay connected with supporters on a daily basis. Now that’s it’s 2020, we’ll be applying those same efforts to connect with and engage voters in District 21. We’re winning this. This campaign will not be silenced,” Loomer said.

Barr’s high-profile support will only solidify Loomer’s base in a Congressional race that is up for the taking.
