4:01Now PlayingTrump-loving, twice-failed House candidate Laura Loomer is having what could best be described as an emotional breakdown after losing her primary this week. She is not only refusing to concede her loss, but she's now claiming that her Republican primary opponent somehow stole the election and then declared herself the actual Congresswoman for that district. This is bizarre behavior, even for a Trump supporter, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Trump loving former Republican candidate. Laura, Luer lost another election this week. Uh, this time she was in the primary against the Republican opponent. She lost by six points, clearly a loser. And if you've been following this story, you understand that she has not yet conceded. And she says that she's never going to concede because somehow her Republican opponent stole that election. And I get more to that in a moment. But yesterday, a new development in this story, because Laura Luer issued this statement, uh, via telegram. And here's what she had to say. I actually am the Congresswoman in Florida's 11th district and everybody knows it. Okay. So she's not even by the way, saying with that statement, with those words that she chose, she's not even saying I won the primary. She's saying I'm already the Congresswoman, like I'm already in Congress right now.
I'm in con oh, Hey Congress, look at me. I'm here. Um, yep. If, if we were in a cartoon, that's the point where you would hear the cuckoo clock noise, like cuckoo cuckoo, because yeah, that's a little nutty. She continued Daniel Webster is illegitimate and my team and I will work to drive him into the ground every step of the way until he collapses in disgrace or poor health and resigns, like he should have years ago, Dan Webster's health is worse than Joe Biden's. Everyone who has seen him recently knows it's true. His health is drastically failing. He is demented looks ill. He can barely speak. He wears a life alert. I am willing to bet he doesn't survive before his current term is over. Now, here's the thing, Laura, you said he's demented.
And you didn't say, in my opinion, he's demented. You stated it as a fact. And if Webster so chose, he could turn around and Sue you for defamation at that point, right? Because you cannot flat out say that somebody has a mental illness. Now you could say, in my opinion, the individual that I'm speaking about is an absolute nut job, but you can't say it as fact, which appears to be what you have done right there. Because in my opinion, you're a little wacko, but I'm not a medical professional. I'm not a mental health professional. I've only got a couple of psychology classes under my belt from 20 years ago. But I know a wacko when I see them. And again, in my opinion, that that title would apply to you, I believe. Uh, but here's the big thing. Of course, obviously, Loomer, who is a massive Trump loving Republican, doesn't want to concede she's claiming fraud. She has no evidence whatsoever to back up any of these claims because no Republicans do anywhere. And this is the new thing.
This is what they do. Hell Carrie lake over in Arizona, before she won the primary. When it looked like it was gonna be a close race, she already came out and said, oh, well, there's tons of fraud. We've seen it. We've already seen all the fraud, but then she won suddenly, oh wait, no, the fraud didn't exist. Sorry, my mistake. This is what they're going to do from now until forever. Trump gave them the blueprint on how to claim that you didn't actually lose. When in fact you are a big fat loser and every desperate cringeworthy Republican out there is going to continue using that playbook until the end of time.
