'RIDICULOUS': Ben Shapiro isn't feeling Laura Loomer's yellow star as she protests Twitter banning

As Twitchy reported, Jewish journalist Laura Loomer has handcuffed herself to Twitter headquarters to protest her permanent ban from the platform while anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan remain free to post videos comparing Jews to termites.

As we’ve said before, we like to keep our distance from Loomer, because she says some questionable stuff: when she lost her coveted blue checkmark on Twitter last November, she literally compared it to the Holocaust, saying Twitter was trying to “eradicate her presence — just like Hitler.”

Again, that was over losing her blue check. So while plenty are tired of Twitter seeming targeting conservatives for suspensions and bannings, not everyone is feeling that yellow star she’s chosen to wear as part of her protest.

Yes, Laura Loomer is wearing a yellow Jewish star to protest being banned from Twitter. pic.twitter.com/S4NUz662z2

I’m sorry, but wearing a Jewish holocaust star is despicable. I am embarrassed https://t.co/igwxqGo6B3

The star isn't needed. It's that simple.

Three things can be true at once:
1. Loomer shouldn't have been banned from Twitter.
2. Twitter is obviously looking to purge people with unpalatable political beliefs.
3. Wearing a yellow star to protest a Twitter ban is RIDICULOUS.

Ratio me all you want, but Laura Loomer acting like an idiot and handcuffing herself to @Twitter is crazy enough, forget about wearing a star that my grandparents who got burned alive were.

Comparing being kicked off a private company’s platform to millions dying is despicable. pic.twitter.com/uCjPVH8v3G

My grandparents were burnt to ashes in Europe wearing a yellow Israeli star. Save me all the replies of “you’re ok with nazi-style silencing” BS

Having a platform (wrongly) ripped away from you isn’t the same as having your family being ripped from you and gassed to death and burned to ashes.

Good lord. Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to Twitter HQ doors and is wearing a yellow star (like she’s a Jew under Nazi occupation) to protest Twitter banning her. https://t.co/ZNsQv7w4q3

Most offensive thing I've ever seen at a political rally was a protester wearing a yellow star.

The yellow star was dumb, but I'm supportive of her protest. I admire her for it , in fact.

Laura Loomer's actually wearing a Star of David on her dress while handcuffing herself to Twitter HQ's doors. Because being shadowbanned on a social media platform is exactly the same as being kidnapped, robbed, gassed with Zyklon B & being incinerated on a gas oven at Auschwitz. pic.twitter.com/L4LTuJQIdM

This child of a Holocaust survivor/member of the Dutch Resistance finds laura loomer and her use of the Yellow Star despicable. She may be Jewish, but @Twitter isn't trying to murder her.

I just want to say for all the problems that Twitter has, Laura Loomer is wearing a "Jude/Juif" Yellow Star to make this about her being Jewish which is disgusting. She's just a horrible human being that's a Shanda. https://t.co/72ZjJfpeei

I get why Laura Loomer's protesting: conservatives being banned on social media is a good issue to bring national attention to. She's even making a good point with Farrakhan's anti-semitic tweet… but she loses me with the jewish star. This isn't the holocaust.

I'd like for anyone to point out one thing wrong with Laura Loomer wearing a Star of David, a la the Holocaust. There is no difference between someone being banned on Twitter. And the Holocaust.

I don't know who Laura loomer is and I don't care enough to find out but um pinning a Star of David to your jacket because you think a Twitter Ban (??) is somehow analogous to Nazism is such a profoundly dumb gesture. Just remarkable dumbness here.

— Mark Byrne (@markwby) November 29, 2018

Excuse me. Is Laura Loomer actually wearing a yellow Star of David? So now we’re comparing twitter jail to the Holocaust?

— Ruth Ann Daley (@ruthierudes) November 29, 2018

Well, Loomer thought it was a good idea:

Reporter: "Why are you wearing the Star of David?"
Laura Loomer: "This is like book burning. Because this is what the Nazi's did…this is political warfare"

— Kassy Dillon (@KassyDillon) November 29, 2018

good lord this is just outrageous and i agree she shouldnt have been banned but this is where i draw the line…..Laura, you are not that important, and second comparing this to Nazi is just complete and utter trash

— Drew (@miba198083) November 29, 2018

Loomer never should have been banned for her tweet linking newly elected Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to Sharia law and the threat it poses to Jews and the LGBT community. But no, it’s not the Holocaust.
