Loomer was in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday atthe scene of a terroristic elevator car massacre , apparently with the purpose of taking picture of random Muslims to harass them on societal medium . In a series of cringe - stimulate posts , the self - declare “ Investigative Journalist”tweetedthat “ Someone needs to create a non Islamic conformation of @uber or @lyft because I never require to corroborate another Islamic immigrant driver,”afterwards notingthe supposedly high figure of Muslim drivers was “ extremely unfortunate and this is a conversation we need to have for our safety . ”
“ I ’m late to the NYPD press league because I could n’t find a non Islamic cab or @Uber @lyft driver for over 30 min ! ” , Loomer continued . “ This is insanity . ”
( Note that the Uber app only displays epithet and photos of drivers , not their religious belief , so Loomer ’s Islamophobic witchhunt was also indisputably racist . )
Having triggered the libs by blaming her inability to get to a press league on time on her own dogmatism , Loomer then photographed random New Yorkers from behind and accused them “ rub [ the attack ] in everyone ’s side ” by “ aimlessly walking around in hijabs”—a stunt so nonchalantly stupid and bigoted it earned her rebukes from other far - right hand personality likeLauren SouthernorYouTuber Joey Salads . ( Yes , Salads , the guy whowore Nazi armbandsto Trump exchange as part of a “ social experiment . ” )
business organisation Insiderwas first to report that Loomer ’s account was subsequently invalid . In a assertion , an Uber spokesman confirmed to Gizmodo that “ she was banned for violating our Community Guidelines . ”
Hopefully that mean New York ’s cab driver will be spared from being dragged into some other down in the mouth - class stunt designed to shake some crowdfunding from racists ’ wallet .
Earlier this year , Uber handed out standardised Bachelor of Arts in Nursing to neo - Nazi - adjacent jerksTim “ Baked Alaska ” Gionet , James Allsup , and Matthew “ Millennial Matt ” Colligan , who werebooted from Uberafterstarting an altercationwith a black number one wood during a notoriously violentwhite supremacist rallyin Charlottesville , Virginia . Numerous tech companies haverushed to turn back laissez - faire approachesto community moderateness in late month after realizing their program have been used for far - rightfulness organizing , but the results have been sundry .
In the midst of herdeparture from Rebel Mediaearlier this twelvemonth , Loomer has made her own contributions to the on-going honour volute in the racist far - right in the form ofnumerous feudswith her former comrades . She responded to news of her ban on Twitter by calling for a boycott of Uber and claim she wasalready suing the companyfor other villainous Islam - yoke plots , which certainly , whatever .
Gizmodo has reached out to Loomer for scuttlebutt , and we ’ll update this post if we listen back .
Update 10:05 pm ET : agree to Business Insider , Lyft has also shun Loomer .
