Only months after Donald Trump Jr. floated Laura Loomer as a White House press secretary, Loomer used her platform on Rumble to launch into a half-hour long racist screed against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Somalians living in America, birthright citizenship, and Muslims. Loomer begun the show by referring to Rep. Omar as a "black dog" whose "district is literally Somalia," and claimed that Omar's constituents are "breeding like rabbits.”

Incorrect. The low-IQ people will be forced to breed (while being denied any form of support) so the factories have a limitless pool of workers to exploit.

Yeah, but their racism one other bigotry plays a role, especially with the wannabe Nazis at hand. Forcible sterilization has been done before.

Used as a means of controlling “undesirable” populations – immigrants, people of color, poor people, unmarried mothers, the disabled, the mentally ill – federally-funded sterilization programs took place in 32 states throughout the 20th century.

In early September [2020], a nurse working at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Georgia came forward […] claiming that numerous involuntary hysterectomies (uterus removal surgeries) were performed on detained immigrant women.

Throughout the 20th century, nearly 70,0000 people (overwhelmingly working-class women of color) were sterilized in over 30 states. Black women, Latina women, and Native American women were specifically targeted. From the 1930s to the 1970s, nearly one-third of the women in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, were coerced into sterilization when government officials claimed that Puerto Rico’s economy would benefit from a reduced population.
