Far-right figure Laura Loomer was banned by Twitter on Wednesday after attacking newly elected Democratic representative Ilhan Omar. The conservative conspiracy theorist lashed out at Omar, calling her “anti-Jewish” and saying that she is “pro Sharia.” According to The Daily Beast, the commentator vowed that this would “not be the end of Laura Loomer.”

According to Loomer, she was banned by the social media site after tweeting about the Minnesota politician.

“Isn’t it ironic how the twitter moment used to celebrate ‘women, LGBTQ, and minorities’ is a picture of Ilhan Omar?” Loomer wrote. “Ilhan is pro Sharia Ilhan is pro-FGM Under Sharia, homosexuals are oppressed & killed. Women are abused & forced to wear the hijab. Ilhan is anti Jewish.”
