Laura Loomer Is Crashing Out

Sam Stein has a suggestion for the graphic scrolling through Laura Loomer's posts: "We should print this out and frame it."

The Bulwark's Short, "Laura Loomer Is Crashing Out," brings Stein together with Will Sommer and Tim Miller to discuss the Trump-aligned activist's reaction to the Republican election losses. Stein says she posted 138 times in a day, and the clip displays the feed as the hosts pick through its increasingly existential language.

The exchange is political commentary rather than an interview with Loomer. Its focus is less on her explanation of the result than on the sheer volume and tone of her response. Sommer brings a particular reporting background to the discussion: he has covered right-wing media and conspiracy movements.

The excerpt has passed 150,000 views before completing its first day, far above the usual start for a Bulwark Short. Its comment count has already exceeded the channel's ordinary full-day total several times over.

Elsewhere on the channel, two excerpts from Tim Miller's conversation with Adam Hamilton are also drawing unusually large audiences. Those take a different approach to the election aftermath: Hamilton discusses bringing his message of compassion to Washington and responding to JD Vance's criticism of his faith without personal animosity.
