a representative for uber also confirmed that loomer 's account had been " deactivated " following her daylong tweetstorm that blamed islam and muslims for the deadly attack .
the news and stories that matter , delivered weekday mornings .
 
 
loomer doubled down magnificently : although neo - nazi figures like richard spencer and jason kessler , who organized the white supremacist rally that turned deadly in charlottesville , were stripped of their verification , they remain active on the site .
so like most things twitter does to appear like it ’s addressing harassment and abuse on the site , the move so far seems mostly like an effort breaking news emails get breaking news alerts and special reports .
after twitter announced late wednesday that it planned to overhaul its process for verifying accounts , the site started yanking that big blue check mark from a number of prominent far - right users , who proceeded to lose their minds in spectacular fashion .
advertisement but laura loomer , an ex - employee of project veritas , james o’keefe ’s right - wing sting operation , but who ’s probably best known for crashing a new york city performance of “ julius caesar ” to own the libs , took the loss of her verification especially hard , suggesting , of course , that this is basically just how that movie about the holocaust begins .
gionet , apparently at wit ’s end , dealt with the loss the only way he knew how : by livestreaming his breakdown an an in - n - out burger and randomly screaming at innocent passersby .
