Wow…
Just hours after Laura Loomer claimed Nikki Haley kicked her out of a town hall event in Iowa and called the police…Ron DeSantis did the exact same thing!

In a post on X, Loomer explained that despite having a ticket to his campaign event in Iowa, Ron DeSantis had her removed and sent cops to threaten her with jail time if she returned.
She also posted a clip of the cops confronting her, which you can watch here:

It looks like the masks are finally dropping off the faces of all of these RINO phonies…
Check out the response on social media:
Both Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley called the police on Laura Loomer. These Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan backed candidates are just the worst of the worst. https://t.co/0yHUBM8JYl

Laura Loomer was just threatened with jail time if she attends the Ron DeSantis event in Iowa.
A real candidate would welcome tough questions.
DeSantis is not a real candidate. https://t.co/vIgTydwiD9

So predictable!
Even with his lifts DeSantis is too afraid to face Laura Loomer.
He’s no better than Nikki Haley.
He’s actually worse.

One X user made a really great point…

Our friends over at The Gateway Pundit had this to say about DeSantis and Haley’s true colors coming out:
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign kicked independent journalist and conservative firebrand Laura Loomer out of their Iowa event on Saturday evening — and called the police on her.
Nikki Haley’s campaign did the same thing when Loomer showed up to their event earlier in the day.
Loomer posted a video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, shortly after the incident.
“RON DESANTIS CALLED THE COPS ON ME AND HAD ME REMOVED FROM HIS IOWA CAMPAIGN EVENT TONIGHT EVEN THOUGH I HAD A TICKET!” Loomer wrote.
Loomer continued, “I was just removed from @RonDeSantis ’s Presidential Campaign event in Ankeny, Iowa and threatened with ARREST by a police officer even though I had a ticket. I called the restaurant named ‘Who’s On 1st’ ahead of time and they confirmed the restaurant was open to the public on the top floor, but @RonDeSantis called the cops on me because he doesn’t want me asking him, @chiproytx , @RepThomasMassie and @bobvanderplaats questions about why @RonDeSantis said J6ers aren’t patriots, and why he has allowed for Capitol police to have an office in Tampa, Florida to hunt down Trump supporters.”
ADVERTISEMENT“I was told if I came back I would be taken to jail,” she added.
“You know who isn’t ‘on 1st’? @RonDeSantis , because he’s not in 1st place in Iowa, and he doesn’t support the 1st Amendment! How ironic!” Loomer quipped.
Loomer had the same experience at a Haley event earlier in the day.
She had tickets to attend and had not caused any problems when she was approached by two police officers and a member of Haley’s campaign.
Newsweek commented on Nikki Haley booting Loomer from her town hall:
Conservative activist and journalist Laura Loomer shared a video on Saturday where she wasn’t allowed to enter or attend a Town Hall hosted by the Nikki Haley campaign in Bettendorf, Iowa.
The video shows Loomer, an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump, being told by an officer with the Indianola Police Department to leave the event.
When Loomer asks Sgt. Devin Thomas, “why?” She is told “This is private property, and they want you to leave.”
ADVERTISEMENTLoomer is shown telling the officer that she had signed up for the event after receiving an email blast. A member of Haley’s campaign staff is shown, nearby, but did not speak during the one-minute interaction.
Newsweek reached out to the Haley campaign and the Indianola Police Department via email for statements about the incident.
As of 6:30 p.m., the video had been viewed over 6 million times and Loomer was trending on X, formerly Twitter.
In a phone interview with Newsweek, Loomer said she was surprised to be asked to leave the event.
“I’m a well-known conservative journalist so there’s no denying who I am,” she said. “I had Vivek Ramaswamy on my show. I talk to candidates, and today I decided to go see Nikki Haley.
“I was approved for the ticket, and I signed my name when I got there. They even asked me if I wanted to volunteer. But while I was waiting for the event, they just called the cops over on me.”
In total, Laura Loomer has attended 3 Republican presidential campaigns in Iowa today.
And only one of them did not throw her out and call the cops on her…
Can you guess whose event that was?
I am a journalist. I have credentials, my own media company, and a wildly successful show on @rumblevideo.
I flew to Iowa to report on the Iowa Caucus, and I will be here all week.
Today, I attended 3 GOP Presidential campaign events in Iowa.
This morning I went to…
