Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Parkland) lays down some righteous anger against Infowars personality.

It's a shame that the only Youtube version with better audio of this I could find is the Infowars' account itself, which I refuse to link to because I don't want to give them free views, but it's there for viewing if you want.

I did find part of the interaction on Facebook, however:

The Infowars personality in question is Laura Loomer. She's previously been associated with James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. Her most notorious stunt was a scene straight out of the first Naked Gun movie where she disrupted a performance of Julius Caesar at Shakespeare in the Park. Besides Rep. Deutch, she's also accosted--among other people--Muslim American Uber drivers and Chelsea Clinton. You can read up on this lovely little peach here:

Since the Parkland shooting, Loomer has been down in South Florida, trying to gin up the "crisis actors" conspiracy theory. As I reported earlier today, some in the media have taken her bait:

As for Rep. Deutch, I am absolutely loving him right now. Terrific congressman.

and throttle her! Once again, No, I don't condone violence, but I do acknowledge my emotional reactions. Fortunately most of us can retain our humanity when dealing with the worst of these cretins.

They are clearly becoming dangerous and a threat to themselves and others. Be safe out there!
