The case's reference point is Laura Loomer's remarks about Angie Nixon and other Black women in politics. Villanueva says NOW condemns the racist and misogynistic attacks on Black women in public office and will not allow the violence to be normalized. Her statement speaks of attacks in general terms and appears in a release about Loomer's language, so we labeled it Condemned.
