Only months after Donald Trump Jr. floated Laura Loomer as a White House press secretary, Loomer used her platform on Rumble to launch into a half-hour long racist screed against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Somalians living in America, birthright citizenship, and Muslims. Loomer begun the show by referring to Rep. Omar as a "black dog" whose "district is literally Somalia," and claimed that Omar's constituents are "breeding like rabbits. I guess they've never heard of something called birth control. Unfortunate for us. Unfortunate for Western civilization" and "modern-day jihadi welfare queens." After claiming that Rep. Omar's relatives "sleep in caves and have sex with goats in Al-Shabaab," Loomer declared "I really do believe in IQ science," "some of the people that have the lowest IQs are Somalis," and claimed that Rep. Omar is "so inbred that they have an IQ that is legally classified as mental retardation": Loomer also ran with a blatant mistranslation of Omar's speech about the Republic of Somaliland. Later, she also used line taken blatantly out of context of Omar speaking about 9/11.

    Oh, that’s just for non-wealthy white people. The “low iq” people will get forcible sterilization.

      Incorrect. The low-IQ people will be forced to breed (while being denied any form of support) so the factories have a limitless pool of workers to exploit.

        Yeah, but their racism one other bigotry plays a role, especially with the wannabe Nazis at hand. Forcible sterilization has been done before.

        Used as a means of controlling “undesirable” populations – immigrants, people of color, poor people, unmarried mothers, the disabled, the mentally ill – federally-funded sterilization programs took place in 32 states throughout the 20th century.

        Recently, too

        In early September [2020], a nurse working at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Georgia came forward […] claiming that numerous involuntary hysterectomies (uterus removal surgeries) were performed on detained immigrant women.

        Throughout the 20th century, nearly 70,0000 people (overwhelmingly working-class women of color) were sterilized in over 30 states. Black women, Latina women, and Native American women were specifically targeted. From the 1930s to the 1970s, nearly one-third of the women in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, were coerced into sterilization when government officials claimed that Puerto Rico’s economy would benefit from a reduced population.
