Laura Loomer accused Elon Musk of “totalitarian” behavior after she and other critics of the X owner were stripped of their verification badges after criticizing Musk’s comments on American workers and foreign H-1B visa holders.

Loomer, a conspiracy theorist and loyal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, was locked out of her X account and stripped of her verification badge (she has more than one million followers) after criticizing Musk. New York Young Republican Club president Gavin Wax, InfoWars host Owen Shroyer, and the pro-Trump ConservativePAC were also stripped of their verification badges.

“[Musk] is now admitting it’s retaliation,” Loomer wrote on Friday in response to a message put out by Musk.

“Live by the spam, die by the spam,” he wrote.

The MAGA movement was based on the lie Republicans are better for average working-class Americans than Democrats. Trump's hate blinders are starting to come off.
