Perhaps you’ve heard of Laura Loomer, the 29-year-old Republican hoping to unseat incumbent Rep. Daniel Webster in today’s congressional primary in Florida. Loomer, who is Jewish, openly hates Muslims and has said that she would “fight for Christian nationalism.”

These boomers for Loomer particularly brought to mind this infamously creepy sorority recruitment video:
The moral of the story is clear: White people should never chant.
