On Friday, Laura Loomer went to Twitter for her daily attack on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, calling him power-hungry and dishonest and saying he should have resigned from the governorship in 2022 to take care of his wife Casey, who was suffering from cancer.
Unfortunately for Loomer, the blowback was severe, and Twitter conservatives jumped on Community Notes, the new fact-checking addition to Twitter, and dragged her around social media for the Tweet.

Her Tweet claims DeSantis’s quest for power overrides his wife’s health and that he should have stepped down to take care of her during her bout with cancer. Because according to Loomer, ‘That’s what a good husband would have done.’
There was a problem with Loomer’s Tweet; however, facts.
Let’s check in on Laura Loomer’s latest attack on @GovRonDeSantis, which manages to drag in @CaseyDeSantis’ cancer diagnosis, and see how that’s working out…https://t.co/gIljncBayT —via @just_mindy at @TwitchyTeam

I think Laura Loomer is vile, low class, and should change her party registration to Democrat already.
Already has stated on numerous occasions that she will campaign against Desantis if he won the nomination, and goes after his wife.
Totally not a deranged cult guys! pic.twitter.com/4JosXR5Van

Community Notes exploded with fact checks on Loomer’s Tweet informing her that Casey DeSantis was declared cancer free in March of 2022 and DeSantis’s 20-point blowout Re-election took place in November 2022, 8 months after her remission.
This really tells the story of how @RonDeSantisFL fights for Florida the same way he does for @CaseyDeSantis and his family. pic.twitter.com/vSWRjh92wv

They say that politics is a blood sport, and it is. But invoking a candidate’s spouse or children is usually reserved for liberals. Most of Twitter found the Tweet in bad taste and had gone too far. Many had hoped the Tweet would be deleted, but that isn’t Loomer’s Style.
As an example. Yesterday bigot and lunatic Laura Loomer posted a viral post despicably attacking the DeSantis family by accusing RD of being a bad husband & power hungry for not quitting when Casey DeSantis had cancer and today Trump is promoting her on Truth Social. pic.twitter.com/atemIK4of1

Many hoped Donald Trump would condemn the attack on the Governor’s wife, especially given the treatment his wife, Melania received, but it didn’t come. Perhaps when he comes back to Twitter in June, he will correct that.
