Why we used this label

The case asks whether Flock-style license-plate surveillance networks should exist. Loomer declares herself "pro-Flock" and calls for cameras outside every mosque, which supports the networks and their wider use, so we labeled it Defended or excused and placed it at Keep on the remedy ladder. Her proposal to aim the cameras at mosques goes beyond any remedy the ladder lists.

Response to this claim

The United States should use military force to raid mosques and remove Muslims from the country rather than have Americans relocate.

“I stand by everything I said. The GOP would be wise to listen.”

Why we used this label

Loomer explicitly stands by the advocacy at issue and repeats the proposal after criticism. Her appeal to the GOP is support for that advocacy, not a request that Republicans condemn it.

On November 19, 2018, Cea Weaver posted: “Impoverish the white middle class. Homeownership is racist / failed public policy.”

Case

Was John Fetterman's GOP-convention appearance bipartisanship or political betrayal?

At the September 9, 2026 Republican convention, Democratic Senator John Fetterman introduced Republican Senator Dave McCormick and promised cooperation with President Trump on Pennsylvania steel.
