Laura Loomer interrupted a House Energy and Commerce Committee

On September 5, 2018, Laura Loomer interrupted a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing about social media to voice concerns about possible left-wing bias on the part of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. She was asked several times to sit down or leave, before Congressman Billy Long (R-MO), a certified auctioneer and member of the National Auctioneers Association, launched into an auction chant pretending to sell Loomer’s cellphone which she was holding up to make a video. Loomer was escorted out and Long received laughter and applause from colleagues and attendees
