“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.
Loomer has pioneered using alternative social media platforms to solicit campaign funds. She sent an astounding 7+ million messages on Parler, Gab and Telegram as well as via phone, text and email throughout 2019 to amass her impressive war chest. She is revolutionizing the modern political campaign, showing how Silicon Valley can be made irrelevant in today’s sophisticated digital landscape.

Whitmer had to go to a click-bait article and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fodder to cast herself as a victim .
Her condescension was not only insulting , but embarrassingly misplaced .
The rest of the speech was a mercifully short 35 minutes , as she had no accomplishments to tout , and few ideas .

In reality, it’s so sad that she leads this solemn address by dwelling on what she wore a year ago.
As it happened, not one lawmaker last year took the bait and said a word about her dress. Whitmer had to go to a click-bait article and anonymous comments on the Internet to find the fodder to cast herself as a victim. Her condescension was not only insulting, but embarrassingly misplaced.
The rest of the speech was a mercifully short 35 minutes, as she had no accomplishments to tout, and few ideas. She stole credit for passing “historic” auto insurance legislation. Fact check: she threatened to veto it, saying “I’m done playing games,” before agreeing to sign a watered-down version of the same bill.
The theme of the speech was “do something,” a sad attempt to paint the Republicans’ rejection of her 45-cent-per-gallon gas tax hike as an obstruction.
The gas tax hike was so unpopular, not one Democrat in either chamber even introduced it.
“When it comes to tackling Michigan’s challenges, I’ve got a Plan A and a Plan B. Plan A was simple. It was in my budget last year,” she intoned, as if everyone in Michigan didn’t know “Plan A” was the gas tax hike.
“Plan B,” it turned out, was an executive order to issue billions in bonds.

At the time she said: “This is not what the people want and deserve, [but] I know that there are things that (Republicans) care about in this budget that are no longer a reality. And I think it’s incumbent on everyone to get back to the table.”
Translation: “I vetoed critical programs to force Republicans to negotiate with me.”
The gambit didn’t work. Republicans passed bills to restore most of the funding, leaving some of her vetoes on the cutting-room floor, and called it a day. She signed them.

Pelosi refused to introduce President Trump in the manner the Speaker of the House traditionally does for State of the Union address .
The President is usually addressed with the following introduction .

Pelosi refused to introduce President Trump in the manner the Speaker of the House traditionally does for State of the Union address.
The President is usually addressed with the following introduction.
“Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.”
Pelosi instead gave the following dumbed-down, brisk, and cold introduction.
“Members of Congress, the president of the United States.”
Pelosi’s antics weren’t totally ignored, with the President justifiably denying her a handshake as she tried to interrupt the annual address with puerile digs.
Pelosi goes for the handshake. President Trump having none of it. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/IS8nCqhGxD — Chris Stigall (@ChrisStigall) February 5, 2020
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called for Nancy Pelosi to be censured for the politically unprecedented cheap shot. The State of the Union address traditionally has been largely separate from ongoing partisan political disputes, something that appears to have been changed as Democrats adjust to an existence of perpetual derangement during the Trump presidency.
If Pelosi is so upset to be in the presence of the President for the State of the Union address, she should simply refrain from entering the House chamber while the President speaks. There’s no good reason why the American people should be denied a crucial political tradition just because a sourpuss is making an attempt to score political points with childish stunts.

The Utah Senator has historically been a loyal foot solider for the GOP’s corporate agenda and played an integral role in pushing for global democratic crusading abroad.
Romney is the embodiment of establishment Republicanism, but for politically correct commentators such as Erickson that is not an issue.
After all, Erickson has a track record of defending Big Tech gatekeepers’ schemes to censor dissident voices such as Laura Loomer and Alex Jones.
Looking back, President Trump should have reconsidered his endorsement of Romney’s run for Utah’s Senate seat back in the 2018 elections.
In these days when the Left is smelling blood in the water, it is not time to moralize or wax poetic about civilized discourse.
The Right will need people that are willing to hit twice as hard as the Left in these times of increasing radicalization.
People like Erickson and Romney are deadweight at best, and complicit, in the worst of cases, when dealing with the growing radicalization of America’s managerial politics.

DEMOCRAT SCANDAL: Two National DNC Staff Members REMOVED After Internal Investigation of Misconduct
There’s trouble brewing inside the Democrat Party.
Two leaders of Milwaukee’s host committee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention were fired on Tuesday, February 4, 2020 after employees expressed their concerns about the group’s “work environment.”
The Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee revealed that Liz Gilbert, who was the president of the host committee, and Adam Alonso, the group’s chief of staff, were fired after staffers expressed complaints about their stewardship.
“Every employee has a right to feel respected in their workplace. Based on the information we have learned to date, we believe the work environment did not meet the ideals and expectations of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee Board of Directors,” the host committee declared in a statement.
“Accordingly, Liz Gilbert and Adam Alonso are no longer employed by the organization, effective immediately.”
The move was carried out a day after the organization announced it hired the services of an attorney to look into the claims about the work environment.
Two individuals who have worked alongside the host committee, who maintained their anonymity, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the group had a toxic work environment filled with power struggles and mismanagement. They claimed that Gilbert and Alonso handed out contracts to New Jersey operatives, failed to attend meetings, and focused on building their power within the group.
Gilbert and Alonso were Democratic operatives in New Jersey.
“It’s one of the worst — if not the worst — I have worked on,” the first official said, while describing his experience with the host committee.
“The spirit of what it could be for the city might be lost,” the second official chimed in.
The host committee asserted that it was first made aware of the allegations last weekend and that no concerns of “bullying and intimidation within the work environment” were even brought up before last weekend. The group added that it will continue conducting its third party investigation and take additional steps to “ensure the Host Committee’s office culture reflects respect and dignity for each and every employee.”
“The work of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee is critically important–but that work cannot be accomplished unless members of the staff can work collaboratively. The Board is committed to an inclusive and supportive environment at the Host Committee, and will work to ensure that all employees live up to these ideals,” the committee stated.
Wisconsin political operative Teresa Vilmain will oversee the day-to-day operations in the interim.
The Democrat Party is not in good shape.
Like in 2016, Democrat leadership is trying to run as many obstacles as possible to prevent the radical leftist candidate Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination.
Democrat brass does not care about the popular will of its constituents and would rather subvert basic democratic concepts by pushing technocratic elites who are completely out of touch with American people.

Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney-McDaniel has claimed to be a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump as well as her uncle Sen. Mitt Romney ( R-UT ) throughout the years , often straddling the line between the warring factions within her party .
“ This President has stood for life .
He stood for rule of law judges .
He stood for tax cuts .
He stood for deregulation , energy independence .
These are Republican ideals , ” McDaniel said earlier this week in favor of Trump .
“ And he has made the RNC significantly stronger by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be stronger after him because of the investment he ’ s put in data and digital and the things to make us strong beyond his presidency , ” she added .
McDaniel has steadfastly supported the President , and kept her distance from her uncle as he has emerged as the leading anti-Trump voice in the Republican Party .
This arrangement has worked well for the most part , until the infamous announcement made by her uncle earlier today .
take our poll - story continues below Romney announced that he would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the President during a lachrymose screed on the Senate floor .
Romney dubiously said that God told him that he needed to vote to convict President Trump due to an alleged quid pro quo he made with Ukraine .
McDaniel rushed to social media shortly after Romney ’ s announcement to wag her finger at her uncle over his betrayal of President Trump as she has been forced to do several times in the past .
However , it ’ s not merely enough to “ disagree ” with Romney at this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committed must be punished , and punished swiftly .
McDaniel has a tremendous amount of power in her leadership role atop the RNC , which she could use to punish her uncle for his treasonous display .
One measure that the RNC could take is to formally censure this reviled individual who brings shame to the Republican Party .
McDaniel could throw her weight behind such a measure in order to sternly rebuke her turncoat uncle .
It is what has to be done in order to send a message to weak-kneed Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The RNC last censured a Michigan committeeman five years ago for making naughty posts on social media that caught bad headlines .
What Mitt Romney has done is a million times worse than that , and he has given ammunition to the enemies of America as they try to rip the country away from President Trump ’ s “ America First ” movement .
If McDaniel refuses to censure her uncle for his crimes against party and country , it will show that she can offer nothing more than lip service in defending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It will show that she does not have the courage to steer the ship in a Trump-dominated GOP that demands a bold fighter in a position of leadership .
Ms .
Chairwoman , the line has been drawn in the sand .
You can be wishy-washy no longer .
It is time to pick a side .
Censure your disgraceful relative so he can be recalled from office and tossed into the ashbin of history forever , with his rotten family name alongside it .

McDaniel rushed to social media shortly after Romney’s announcement to wag her finger at her uncle over his betrayal of President Trump as she has been forced to do several times in the past.
This is not the first time I have disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last. The bottom line is President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him. I, along with the @GOP, stand with President Trump. — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) February 5, 2020
However, it’s not merely enough to “disagree” with Romney at this point. The vile acts he has committed must be punished, and punished swiftly. McDaniel has a tremendous amount of power in her leadership role atop the RNC, which she could use to punish her uncle for his treasonous display.
One measure that the RNC could take is to formally censure this reviled individual who brings shame to the Republican Party. McDaniel could throw her weight behind such a measure in order to sternly rebuke her turncoat uncle. It is what has to be done in order to send a message to weak-kneed Republicans that their actions will have consequences.

What Mitt Romney has done is a million times worse than that, and he has given ammunition to the enemies of America as they try to rip the country away from President Trump’s “America First” movement.
If McDaniel refuses to censure her uncle for his crimes against party and country, it will show that she can offer nothing more than lip service in defending President Trump from the pernicious enemies within. It will show that she does not have the courage to steer the ship in a Trump-dominated GOP that demands a bold fighter in a position of leadership.
Ms. Chairwoman, the line has been drawn in the sand. You can be wishy-washy no longer. It is time to pick a side. Censure your disgraceful relative so he can be recalled from office and tossed into the ashbin of history forever, with his rotten family name alongside it.

The Alabama Senator’s office issued a statement where he alluded to his oath of office and he vowed to “keep an open mind” during the trial before making this decision.

He added that he “read thousands of pages of transcripts, watched videos of testimony, [took] copious notes, reviewed history and precedents and discussed this case with colleagues, staff, and constituents.”
Jones came to the conclusion that Trump’s dealings with Ukraine “placed his personal interests above the national interests,” and put national security at risk. In Jones’s view, Trump was delaying military aid to Ukraine and sought an announcement that a foreign country was investigating his political opponents. Jones argued that Trump abused his power.

#RecallMitt Movement: With His ‘Guilty’ Vote, Mitt Romney Could Be Removed From Office
Today, Mitt Romney announced (IN TEARS) he will join the Democrat effort to reverse the 2016 election and remove President Trump from office.
Fortunately for President Trump and the nation, the president will not be removed from office. He will be acquitted of this fake impeachment scam and remain in power.
Unfortunately for Senator Mitt Romney, he may not be as lucky. Utah Republicans are preparing legislation to recall and remove sitting U.S. Senators.
If this becomes law, Romney could be the one removed from office.
READ THE FULL STORY:
As Mitt Romney grandstands in the U.S Senate’s doomed Trump impeachment trial in an effort to demonstrate his own moral superiority, the Utah legislature is mulling a measure that would allow the state’s citizens to recall their senators.
The measure could hypothetically be used to recall Romney from office. Such a possibility is an acute irony, considering Romney appears to be the only Republican senator enthusiastic about impeaching President Donald Trump.
Rep. Tim Quinn of Heber City introduced the bill in the state house. Utah doesn’t currently have a process to recall sitting U.S Senators, a problem his legislation would solve.
He says the bill isn’t designed with any specific Senator in mind, but it’s hard not to imagine the measure being used to impeach Romney, considering the Never Trump senator’s extreme unpopularity in his own state.
HB217 would create a system in which Utah voters could set up a recall election to remove senators. 25% of active voters in the state would have to sign a petition requesting a recall vote, which would take place during the next scheduled election. Senators are immune from the prospect of a recall election within a year of their initial term.
Considering that almost half of Utah Republicans don’t approve of Romney’s representation in the Senate, it’s more than reasonable to imagine a quarter of the state’s population voting to remove the failed presidential candidate, whose connection to Utah has always been dubious.
The notion of recalling a federal legislator is a constitutionally vague concept. Some states have processes in place that allow members of congress to be recalled by voters, but a senator has never been actually recalled and the Supreme Court has never ruled if such a process to remove sitting members of congress would be legal.
However, facing a recall process would be an acute embarrassment for Senator Romney, who seems to have fully devoted his senatorial duties to focusing on impeachment and faux moral outrage to other purported Trump “scandals.”
